Even experts often get only 50% success. This requires effort and (if
you have to buy the root stock) expense that cannot be justified for
an annual.

I suppose if you live in a high-rise and have room for one or two plants the
expense of buying these might be justified. In my situation with plenty of
room and viable seed what do I care if each plant gives less than the
ultimate yield.

My take is a bit different. I read planting root stock seed along with
your heirlooms. The why the interesting issue. Vigorous heirlooms the
reason for the effort. Here a another link.

be sure to peruse the links in the first post as it touched on some
interesting ideas.
