So, time to plant some tomatoes out here.
The soil is pretty crummy here, but the

00:05.380 --> 00:11.840
garden will be fine. Because the soil is
bad, I lay my tomatoes flat and pinch off

00:11.840 --> 00:16.440
the limbs that are in the way and just
let it turn up naturally. The plant will

00:16.440 --> 00:20.920
turn up in a day or two. I'm gonna leave
probably four feet because I've got

00:20.920 --> 00:27.639
plenty of space. I'm gonna add some good
dirt, a little bit of fertilizer, and

00:27.719 --> 00:32.439
these things will be fine. Anyway, so you
also notice there's this plastic stuff

00:32.439 --> 00:39.240
This is like a geoplastic. You can put
a link for it somewhere if you want. It

00:39.240 --> 00:43.279
lasts a long time. Honestly, I wouldn't
even have a garden if it weren't for

00:43.279 --> 00:48.720
this stuff because the weed problem was
just tearing me up. All right, well, this

00:48.720 --> 01:00.520
is how it's done. At least how I'm gonna
do it. I'll call that three, four. I'm not

01:00.520 --> 01:05.239
leaving. There's not much of a gap here.
This dirt looks pretty good right here

01:05.239 --> 01:08.940
but this plant's gonna go right here. You
can see this hole. I had a plant here a

01:08.940 --> 01:16.279
couple years ago. I could probably use it, but I'm
gonna get this out of the way just a little bit

01:16.400 --> 01:25.440
This is the good compost that comes out
of leaves that we have. Just a little bit

01:25.440 --> 01:33.279
of fertilizer. You do not want to wipe
your plants out with that stuff. These are

01:33.279 --> 01:39.080
Better Boys. I know there's lots of
varieties out there. This just works well

01:39.080 --> 01:43.720
here, and I trust it, and I've gone
through the other ones. We have a

01:43.720 --> 01:49.360
disease problem here, so Better Boys are highly
disease resistant. I don't know if you can get in

01:49.360 --> 01:53.480
here, but this is how this is
gonna work. I'm gonna lay this down

01:53.480 --> 02:02.639
right here, mash it down a little bit,
come in here, and this plant... I'll put a

02:02.639 --> 02:09.160
little water on, but that's basically it.
This plant will turn up, and all of the

02:09.160 --> 02:17.320
roots will grow in this direction for a while, and that's great, but if I dug a
hole straight down, it would hit clay, and clay is just a pot that holds water

02:17.320 --> 02:22.119
and won't drain, so
this is what we do here
