TOP 10 TIPS & STEPS How to Grow Large Healthy Organic Tomatoes in Just Fall Leaves, Gardening 101

Tips, Tricks

1. What type of tomato seeds/plants do you grow for market
2. Hi there, excellent channel, thank-you for sharing your insights into tomato farming. I had a disappointing 2016 for my tomatoes due to the triple prong climate attack we experienced in southeastern Ontario last summer. Blazing sun everyday with record temperature highs. Incredibly high humidity and alarming drought conditions. In fact, most of our neighbors lost their gardens as their wells went dry. I trellis my tomatoes and cucumbers as well as remove suckers. I had very healthy plants started indoors and hardened off nice and tough. It wasn't long before I started seeing leaf curl, blossom drop and stunted growth. What few tomatoes that made it to semi-ripe stage either split or had end rot. This year, I do not know what is coming weather wise but I will sure leave my plants to deal with the climate as they will. After seeing your plants I feel like I took away my plants resources and ability to regulate climatic trauma and they suffered greatly.
   Thanks again!
3. I can't wait to move and start my own garden!
4. I am back after almost 2 months to update my tomato experiment with and without removing sucker, with suckers removed I trained one to a fence post and had a very nice space saver Cherry Roma (could not enjoy the fruit as it was late transfer and only semi ripe tomato was hit with frost and now with snow) the other plant that I never trimmed or removed had multiple tomatoes that I did enjoy, some of the branches were over 4 feet long and fruits were all over.
   
   Beef steak tomatoes were semi trimmed due to travel had a few nice ones including a 228 gram (half pound to be exact)
   
   (sorry can't make a video as we already have snow, we may have some clearing this week and shoot both leftover plants and fenugreek)
5. biggest, healthiest tomato bushes i've ever seen!
6. Hey Mark thanks again for another wonderful instructional video ! I had a horrible tomato season so this video caught my attention. For the first time I got hit by early blight because I failed to mulch my tomatoes and trim the bottoms in time and we had early heavy rains. I truly want to try your method next year however I have a much smaller garden. My question is more on the cover crops. I tried growing winter rye and mustard before over the winter on my beds. I know you grow it differently ( on the side of the beds) but I wonder what do you do to manage them ? Do you cut them down / till them in or do you never plant in the cover crops and just use that area for the insect attractants ? I don't have the space I would like to have a large area for mustard that I don't also use at some point in the year to grow another crop. Thanks again ! Doug
7. Or Til them in spring?
8. Your cover crops; do you weed-whack them down in fall? Then grow in same spot again or rotate?
9. Excellent tips - will be trying this next year
10. By surprise I do some research about organic seeds and conventional seed (for grower)
    the difference in the price is huge.
    The conventional seed I can expect arount 18 trusts of tomatoes in 8 months of picking.
    
    By ur experience could I expect by using organic seed around this number of trust?
11. Hi
    
    What kind of tomatoes seed you used?
    And how many kg of tomatoes per plant you can harvested?
    
    Thanks
12. Really enjoyed this...have subbed.
13. One of my biggest pests is chipmunks and squirrels, they have found the taste of tomatoes and like it! Those fox would be a helpful addition!!!
14. This was GREAT!!! Thank you!!! This explains alot, its puts all this leave mold stuff all together, I believe I now understand!
15. Nice explanation of your method. Thank you.
16. Do you think if I keep the leaf mulch composted mix with sand and clay on top of the soil inside of the GH, will it work?
17. thanks
18. my greenhouse is open 4 sides.
    
    the reason I want to use leaf mulch, because the cost is too expensive to build the growing bed in soil.
    What I think to do, is to compost the leaf mulch and use as growing bed.
    Do you think, can be done like this?
19. I grow the tomatoes in the greenhouses
20. Do you think walnut leaves would be OK to use for this?
