Country boy here, been gardening since I was 10 (58 now) and you just taught an old dog a few new tricks. Thank you.

For the trench method, if you turn the pot on its side a day or two before planting the plant will be ready to put in the trench with a "bend" already in its stem.

Welcome to everyone new! This video has really been blowing up. 🥰

Helpful hint for tomato lovers from an old pro.. Take a 2-liter pop bottle, cut off the bottom and remove the cap.. Bury the small end so the opening is adjacent to the root ball at a 45-degree angle.. Place a small rock inside the empty bottle to add weight. Now when you water the plant just fill the pop bottle. This will get water directly to the root system. Don't forget to pinch those suckers! My plants get to an average height of 14 feet in Michigan..

DUDE! I've watches 6 or 7 tomato planting videos and this is by far the best bang for the buck video so far. Thank you!

My mother has grown award winning Flowers and vegetables and one thing she always did when planting rootbound starts like the one in this video, is to take the spade and slice the root in an x at the bottom about half the depth of the dirt or more depending on the size of the pot it came from. This enourages new growth of an already stressed root system ( by being root bound )

I’m staring at the layer of frost on my neighbors’ roofs here in MN while listing with pangs in my heart to the sound of you planting lovely tomatoes.

We’ve got ten acres. We’ve been here a year now and getting our greenhouse going and garden beds going! Love watching your garden videos! Thanks.

You just saved us because we started our tomatoes way too early this year and they are huge. Thank you so much!

I plant all my tomatoes in containers, and they have traveled more this spring than I have. (Into the sunroom, out of the sunroom lol). We had snow less than 2 weeks ago (NEOhio).

I am so glad to learn the trench method ! I have tall Yellow Pear tomatoes indoors growing in pots and I will try this ! Maybe I can plant around Memorial Day (yes we got snow this week in Cleveland).

So excited to find your channel. We moved to Michigan last summer from Missouri and I love gardening. Looking forward to learning more from you about gardens in the North!

8 more days before I trust the weather to plant tomatoes, but totally doing the bend trick this year. Thank you 😊

When I laid my tomatoes side ways I place the plant marker above the roots. I was just trying to prevent myself from forgetting and digging into that area later to plant something.

[pnutbuderjj]

Omg I didn't know about laying them down. Love this!!

[littleblackdogsb]

Perfect timing. I'm planting mine this weekend. 😊

[Candylandavenue]

I always trench plant my tomatoes & they grow so much stronger. Plus it’s so much easier than digging holes.

Morning coffee with Migardener. My seedlings are almost ready to go in the ground. May 24 is our last frost date here in Ontario.

Dude! Thank you so much. I had some seriously tall tomatoes that I started too early. I was worried about what to do. Now they are all trenched in and they are going to grow roots like crazy. You rock. Love your channel. Btw, these are started from your seeds. Black sea man, azoykcha, etc.
