The message
from Billit contains these words:
Igrew my tomatoes as normal this year but for some unkown reason they
seem to have gone very leggy any advice as why this has happened and
any advice as to how this can be remedied if possible would be most
appreciated
Not enough light.
Not enough room for roots, and not enough feeding?
Are they in pots or in the ground?
How tall are they?
Greenhouse or outdoors?
Certainly lack of light is the most likely. It depends where they
were.
A trick I learned here on this group a few years ago, is to plant
really leggy tomatoes extra deep, even laying part of the stem down
underground. They will produce roots up the stem and give sturdier
plants.
I also have heard that you should not feed tomatoes until after the
first truss has begun to form. If you do feed only use tomato feed.
