Ron, my grafting trial was two years ago. While it was on a small basis, I only had a total of 15 plants in my test garden. I could not tell a significant difference in grafted vs non-grafted production. I believe, in my small sampling, there was very little difference. Since I grow 10 plants in my home garden each year and 25-30 plants in our church community garden, we have great success with early girl, celebrity, and Sweet Million as our standard hybrids. I will grow several heirlooms from Wild Boar farms, my favorites are Pink Berkeley Tie Dye, and Sweet Tooth, both good producers.
Perfect timing I was thinking of grafting my heirloom varieties on to Early Girl next year as a trial so I will be looking forward your results

@@DIYHGP so using Early Girl for Rootstock made no difference in your Heirlooms grafted production
Are used two different root stocks neither of them were early girl. I’m sorry I don’t remember the names of them.
Can’t wait to see the results.
Try grafting tomato on to solanum chrysotrichum
not sure what that would do?
@@DIYHGP It would probably be the same result. But it would be higher from the ground.
