    Compost Tea?

    I heard that spraying it on you're plants helps with the prevention of disease and pests. That is why I am so interested in it. Also I've seen some videos of those who use it compared to those who have not and it looks pretty convicing. That is why I am asking for opinions because I want to know...

    Planting Tomatoes in the ground, setup help

    I looked at "building tomato cages" on google and we have everything we need right in our shed! So I was thinking of just building the round ones out of wire and then use something like tent stakes and stake them into the ground or since we have 3+ foot tall rolls just bury some of it and then...

    Mulch?

    Some of the websites I read said that tomatoes love warm soil so I can mulch to keep heat in and also to keep moisture in. Do you think that regular straw would be a good mulch? If not what do you recommend? This will probably be tilled up in the fall in order to plant some other type of...
