Garden research project this year for the best tomatoes
 
I keep running research experiments on horticulture. One thing I found
out
about tomatoes is that your tomato garden should be close to the south
wall
of your house where no trees are nearby. And that your south wall of the

house should be white as possible. I have found that the tomatoes grown
in
such an enviroment grow twice as fast and large as tomatoes not. The
reflection
of light from the south wall of a house or building boosts the sunlight
and
also the water from house roof runoff is added moisture. Explosive
growth
for tomatoes and so explosive that it covers the entire ground.

This year I am experimenting on control of the tomatoes. I have seen
wire
type baskets that hold up tomatoes. I have seen poles and stakes for
tomatoes.
But that is time consuming. Especially if you plan on having more than
10
tomato plants. So what I am researching this summer is a simple method.
Those concrete block with their big holes. Concrete block are not blown
by
the wind. And ants do not make a nest home. So I plan to plant the
tomato
seedling in the middle of a block hole and the block should protect the
seedling
until it grows high. And then the block serves as a guidance system in
that
I know where the root stalk is for weeding and I am not stepping onto
the root
stalk.

I am going to try this concrete block method on the troublesome
watermelon and cucumber. They seem to make mowing a nuisance.

Archimedes Plutonium,
whole entire Universe is just one big atom where dots
of the electron-dot-cloud are galaxies
