    The best blossom end rot fix I've ever seen was told to me by a champion tomato grower: put about a half cup of powdered milk into the hole at planting time. I've used that for years and never had blossom end rot (unless I forgot to do it).

      @@flobbergassy The only time I had blossom end rot was when I was a bit neglectful in watering during a particular dry spell one year, never had the issue other wise. I add a small amount of pulverized eggshells mixed with vinegar and wood ash every year, so calcium isn't an issue here.

    I love these videos and have used some of the tips in my 30 plus years of gardening.
    But I think my best yields have been from just old style planting techniques.
    Such as, putting a layer of horse manure over the entire garden every fall, and tilling it in at early spring.
    Then just planting the tomatoes in a crater with just the top canopy above ground. As the plant grows, fill the crater with it's own surrounding dirt that was mixed with homemade compost and added bone meal.
    Eventually the soil will become level at the stem, and hense a large root system.
    My best yields always seemed to be when I only pruned the yellowing branches, and never pruned suckers.
    I totally get the sucker pruning advice, but for me, my best yields are when I don't prune.
    I live in Western Missouri in the middle of the state where it gets really hot.

    I would recommend Bodacious. I've been growing them in NE Ohio for 3 years. I stack up 2 4 foot fencing cages and the grow well above it. They produce 1lb-1.5lb. red juice tomatoes. I bury a 5gal. bucket 50% in the ground with 4 holes drilled 1 inch from bottom around the bucket. I plant 1 plant at each hole. Works great for watering through the bucket in the hot summer months. Seed comes from Burpee and I've seen it for sale at home depot and menards. Bodacious has become my favorite tomato plant out of 40 years of growing. Planting sunflowers near them helps big time.

I never know what kind of tomato I'm growing, because I save seeds from favorite tomatoes I buy from roadside farmer's stands and then grow them in the dining room in late winter...Problem is that they end up growing rather long and spindly, so I have to bury a lot of the stem when I put them in the ground. I DO like the way you have the tomato plants all tied up along the poles and will have to try that.

    I've experimented (and wrecked) pruning on the top 15ish cultivars and man you nailed it. I have a guest with an RV, would a little shade really be ok? There's a video of a kid cutting his indeterminates into nothing but a straight stick, and I was overzealous too but he's pruning "because the extra growth isn't leaving enough energy for his fruits". I learned this too but this is the best advice as it's not the daily art we want it to be when we learn something new.
