Thanks for the comparison,,,Justin. Am located in the Midwest. We are on about perfect black dirt where we live,which sounds impressive ,,but,,, without fertilzers ,,you simply will not get any vegetables,,we have found. That being said.. what are you thoughts,on,,,say theoretically,,,if you could get like chicken litter delivered to your farm,,from a local chicken growing facility,,, ,all you had to do is broadcast it,,would it be worth it to you,,,or you prefer using the various fertilizers you have used in the past. A couple growing seasons we scored a good supply of rabbit manure,,,and these two years was the best producing years we have ever had,,,we just have two 50 x 50 ft plots,,,for our own use,,,canning. Thanks for the good videos.
Nice trellising. Did you prune 1x or keep going? I'm doing red snapper with a 1x prune around at 2 strings. The 2255, I didn't prune really sucked, not near the tomato sets especially early. The 3rd week of May planting is about 3 weeks from breaking. I'm happy with the fruit setting even in Texas heat with a lot of mainentance for mites, aphids, and stinkbugs. Thanks.
Why don’t you try 1 row using mushroom compost or horse manure and a sprinkling of gypsum, bone meal, and wood ashes. Then feed each plant a small handful of epsom salt once every 2-3 weeks. Chemical fertilizer will never compete with biological organic.
@calebboulds once a tomato is breaking color, it gains nothing by continuing to hang in the field. The flavor will not improve or change. When picked at "breakers" the fruit is very durable and is easy to handle, wash, grade etc. Also, I can manage how fast they turn red by what temperature i store them at. I can keep them for a week or more in our 50° cooler or ripen them quickly out in ambient temps. From breakers point on, the risk of loss increases daily from Animals, disease, splitting from heavy rain, insects etc.
good sharing, thank you💛💛💛💛

@brcisna chicken litter is great fertilizer. It is supposed to be composted and incorporated for food safety, but it works great

@TwoHappyChildrenFarm I always sucker up to the first flowers but I'm staying too rethink that.
When do you start running the potassium through the drip?
@samueldalton773 about 2 weeks after transplanting I run calcium nitrate and Epsom salt leading up to that

Why do you pick so early into maturity on tomatoes
