So, time to plant some tomatoes out here. The soil is pretty crummy here, but the
garden will be fine. Because the soil is bad, I lay my tomatoes flat and pinch off
the limbs that are in the way and just let it turn up naturally. The plant will
turn up in a day or two. I'm gonna leave probably four feet because I've got
plenty of space. I'm gonna add some good dirt, a little bit of fertilizer, and
these things will be fine. Anyway, so you also notice there's this plastic stuff
This is like a geoplastic. You can put a link for it somewhere if you want. It
lasts a long time. Honestly, I wouldn't even have a garden if it weren't for
this stuff because the weed problem was just tearing me up. All right, well, this
is how it's done. At least how I'm gonna do it. I'll call that three, four. I'm not
leaving. There's not much of a gap here. This dirt looks pretty good right here
but this plant's gonna go right here. You can see this hole. I had a plant here a
couple years ago. I could probably use it, but I'm gonna get this out of the way just a little bit
This is the good compost that comes out of leaves that we have. Just a little bit
of fertilizer. You do not want to wipe your plants out with that stuff. These are
Better Boys. I know there's lots of varieties out there. This just works well
here, and I trust it, and I've gone through the other ones. We have a
disease problem here, so Better Boys are highly disease resistant. I don't know if you can get in
here, but this is how this is gonna work. I'm gonna lay this down
right here, mash it down a little bit, come in here, and this plant... I'll put a
little water on, but that's basically it. This plant will turn up, and all of the
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
and won't drain, so this is what we do here
