Sideways Tomato Planting
This is a method to develop maximum root strength. Grow your seedlings indoors, or use plants that are already large or strong enough for this technique.
Snap the lowest branches off so that about 4-8" (depending on the size of the plant) of the trunk lays beneath the soil sideways or at an extreme angle. Be sure to trench them deeply enough as in the picture. The part o...f the plant above ground will right itself toward the Sun, but that half that's underground will send out larger, stronger roots. Always plant tomatoes in full Sun. Add some epsom salts to the area as well as compost to the soil, use mulch and water deeply once a week. Your tomato plants will grow massively thanks to the larger root network that has set up.
