However, they won't let you read the article on the site.

I can show you a short list of the winners of the best by type and zone.

what does the wall of water do for the tomato plants? i love peoples secret tips
the one i will try is placing 3 eggs under every tomato plant

I made a redneck wall-o-water out of 2 liter soda bottles filled with water. Despite all the horrible weather mine did OK. Since Colorado isn't known for growing good tomatoes, OK worked for me

I also planted a sweet 100 plant in apparently just the right spot. Those grew great. I am putting more tomatoes near that area this year.

This time I have roma, climbing tomatoes, spoon tomatoes, and black cherry tomatoes.

Do you just put the eggs in there whole or do you break them?

When I add egg shells to my soil, I dry and crunch up the shells first.
