Great video Michelle! That auger must be a lifesaver with all the gardening you do. If I didn't plant my tomatoes deep like you recommend should I dig them up and plant them deeper?
I just realized I never answered your question. I'm sure your tomatoes did good. You have to realize so many people have been planting just the root ball for decades and growing food. With the storms that we get in the Chicago land area and how windy it gets I want to make sure that I can get the thickest stem stocks as I possibly can and by planting the plants super deep like I do will encourage that type of growth pattern. Do yourself a favor this year and plant the same variety side by side. Plant one super deep and plant one just burying the root ball. You have the space, try it out for yourself. do your own little experiment. It's always good to learn something new in a garden.. That's why I have four of them so I can do different things all over the place and screw up all over the place so you guys don't have to...lol
