go around and under them when I get back....I'm going away for a long
weekend, thanks for the tip about keeping them a bit drier too prior to
transplanting, I've just watered everything apart from them...hoping
everything's not dead by Monday...also, I'll have to arrange some
ventilation, the 'new' GH has very little, being built from 8X4 polycarb
sheets.

No, the !!!'s were what I meant. It was the mental picture of where you got
your whore manure from!

Apart from my childish glee at such an excellent typo, your plan for your
toms sounds fine. Don't forget that tomatoes are one of the few plants
where it's a good idea to pile up earth/compost around the stems as they
will throw out new roots into it.

I am wondering if you read or heard that if you don't remove the
side-shoots cleanly then disease can enter the plant through the
wound. I have heard that, but have never had any problems that way.
