Does anything use the technique Mel describes in his book; the one where he lays down part of the stock of the tomato and covers it with MM? Does it really contribute to a stronger, healthier root system?

Thanks,

I don't lay mine down because, well I find that just burying it deeper down works just fine for me. But the techniques works really, really well. Very Happy

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau
