I do find that they grow much taller with this method than in cages. I just let them grow up and over. I do find that they grow much taller with this method than in cages.

I'm trying out your method here in Georgia (zone 7) with some Better boy tomatoes. So far, so good! Although now, the tomatoes have begun reaching the top of the support structure that I've built for them. From what I understand, topping tomatoes (or any plant for that case) will cause the plant to sprout all over the place, but since I've necessarily been training them up one main beam, I don't know if this is such a wise idea. So what do I do at this point? Do I go ahead and top them? Or do I just let them grow and grow and grow?? Aaaand, here's some pictures: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/3942341/2/Garden%20Photos/7-7-10?h=40c53a Hey there! I’m trying out your method here in Georgia (zone 7) with some Better boy tomatoes.

Since I started burning my fall winter leaves on the tomato bed, I have experienced no end-rot and use only a very small amount of fertilizer. I also take several foot long suckers and root them in water for 2 weeks prior to planting to keep my tomato crop going well into the fall (first frost).
