Stretching Tomato Plants

Ever want to know how to get more tomatoes from a tomato plant? Well it is so easy, it takes more time to write than to do.

First you need a pair of plants, then once they are planted and growing well, judiciously prune a couple of suckers from each along. Once clipped from the plant place them in water with a bit of your favorite rooting compound, in a few days you will have roots growing from the cutting's. Once the roots are a couple of inches long, plant the rooted cutting in a good potting soil either store bought or home made.

In short order the plant, which is really a clone will take off growing like gangbusters. You keep pruning the plants and the start of one or two tomato plants will net you up to 60-70 plants throughout the growing season all for the cost of a couple of plants or seeds.

What? You say you have no money to buy a couple of plants? Well you could probably pinch a couple of suckers from a plant at the store and take home to root. If you do pick a good heirloom or open pollinated tomato.

Then you can save seeds this year to sprout and plant next year and possibly sell seedlings for some extra cash.

A couple of years ago I picked up a couple of broken limbs and suckers outside a superstore. I took them home, done the above. I had 3 types of heirloom plants. Later I traded rootings, seeds, seedlings for other stuff.

So the cost was zip! So get out and save your self some cash!
