Default Re: Tomatoes

Here in the netherlands they use more and more grafted tomatoes.

They are more resistent against soil-diseases, grow higher and produce
more.

Some stems are used for more cold hardy tomatoes and others to prevent
fusarium-3.
It's easy to do. Just cut the under-stem and put the plant you want to grow straight on the understem and fix it with tape or so..

I haven't tried it yet, but it's interesting though.
