G'day Everyone! I've been wanting to upload a "How to grow a ton of tomatoes" video for a long time and finally, I've done it! Hope you like it - thanks for all your support :)

@eSheeep 4 года назад

Thanks for your dedication! You're one of my inspirations for starting to grow my own food this year, even in an extremely limited space in my backyard. But every little something is worth it. Just have to wait for my tomato growing season, which won't be until next year. I'm living in Germany so I have to start my tomato seed indoors because we often get late frosts until may. Still can't wait though :) Phytophtora also is a larger issue for our climate, so resistant varieties are a game changer. Mulch has been overall a real treat for my garden this year and I also built a raised bed with a Hügelkultur-filling like you did. Salads and radishes love it already! So again thank you very much for your informative videos, they've been a huge help for me :)

@bksidhu6437 4 года назад

Great video! I always enjoy your videos, you are good teacher. I want to add something to fight root feed nematodes , it's by making vermi compost tea and spraying them regularly. It's said that worms poop have more predatory nematodes that eat these root feeding one's, they are also called as good guy nematodes.

Fermenting them sounds good as well as canning and drying them which I do. Still taking notes and learning a lot from you and appreciate your dedication to your garden, besides your wit and charm!

Thank you for sharing your experience. Over the years in growing tomatoes here in the states, my biggest problem was birds eating the tomatoes, that problem is now solved. I hanged small red Christmas bulbs on the tomatoes plants early before the tomatoes turned red, the birds would come and peck at the bulbs and realize they weren't real, so by the time the real tomatoes turned red they left the tomatoes a lone. :-)

Here is yet another way to preserve tomatoes - I blend the tomatoes into a liquid, then place the liquid on fruit roll up trays (I think that's what they are called) in my dehydrator. After they are completely dried, I blend them into powder in a Vitamix - you might be able to use a food processor. Ta-Da....Tomato Powder !! (which is quite pricey to buy) You can add a little water to some to make instant tomato paste, add to soup, or stock, pasta dough, bread dough - your imagination is the limit !!! To store, I freeze mine in Mason jars. I really love your videos !!

@djangoapple8230 4 года назад

I've found that using sunflowers is the best way for me to stake tomatoes. I'll typically plant sunflowers 12 to 18 inches staggered from from my tomatoes. The sturdy stalks allows tomato plants to share the "living stakes". As needed I remove leaves from the sunflowers to allow light. In many cases I'll leave the leaves on in the west Southwest for relief of the hottest sun. I'm growing sunflower seeds and increasing soil mechanics along with a huge amount of compost.

Tip 6, don't put them in the fridge. The minute you do, the natural sugars start breaking down similar to how wine starts to deteriorate after its opened. Taste them for yourself. Pick 2 off the vine and put one in the fridge. You will notice a massive difference. That's why you rarely find tomatos in the fridge in the supermarket. Great video mate... Love your work.

Mark, I want to thank you for setting me off on a journey of growing my own and trying to be as self sufficient as is possible living in an apartment with a great balcony. I am really lucky to have a huge rooftop balcony. Until this year I grew nothing but flowers and shrubs. But this year I hot a "square meter" frame for growing my own stuff from seed. I wanted to go completely organic and natural, both using organic seeds as well as soil and pesticide free. It is proving to be one of the most exhilarating and rewarding things I have done. It has lead me on to getting fruit trees and herbs. I have been seriously bitten by the bug. Not only has it given me a fantastic new hobby but it has also helped me enormously to deal with serious psychological issues. You are not just a gardener, Mark, but you have been a kind of therapist, probably not only to me, but I'm sure to many others too. Thank you so much.

@Leathurkatt 4 года назад

An excellent living mulch you can use is white clover. They have very shallow roots so they don't compete with your crop plants, they prevent water loss to evaporation, they prevent soil loss to wind erosion, and they draw nitrogen out of the air and into the soil to help feed your crop plants. Plus, not only do they attract pollinators, when you're ready to clear the bed for winter or if you want to cull it back, they make excellent roughage for grazing animals.

So a while ago I mentioned I had a three year old tomato plant (on a different video I believe). Our winter had some serious cold snaps, and it's died off, but it went out with a banger of a season.

@TheKrispyfort 2 года назад

Bought some from a Coles punnet, and just planted the contents of the punnet without breaking it up. They're much happier than the ones that I've seperated before. The stalks might be shorter, but they're also thicker and straighter without trellis or stakes. The ones that I seperated from each other are a lot weedier in appearance. Am going to try companion planting next season. Onion, garlic, beetroot, and marigold. I've been using my old potato leaves and stems for mulching, and might try this with the tomatoes next season.

@MrMercer101 4 года назад

Great episode mate always love watching the show. If you have more nematode problems try growing mustard in with your vegie patch, let it go to seed and mix it into your soil. Once the seed decomposes it realeases a natural chemical that will sort those nematodes out. Happy growing and keep up the good work

Apparently growing marigolds with the tomatoes helps as well.

@jle3263 4 года назад

To help eliminate the nematode problem, try growing marigolds with your tomatoes. They are an excellent companion plant for solanacea plants. (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc) Marigolds are a natural nematodicidal (sp?) plant. While all marigolds will help control nematodes, there are two varieties that are more effective than the others. One variety is called Golden Guardian. I can't remember the name of the other variety though. Cheers!

I've experimented keeping a couple suckers on the plant where they are not in the way and I swear they prevented the yellow tomatoes from splitting... My thoughts were that the sucker stems will suck up extra water so the fruit grew a bit more evenly instead of absorbing too much water after a heavy rain.... I've tried everything but I think this worked a bit better I will keep this in mind next year

Your videos are awesome and motivated me to grow my own vegetables, I live in Belgium and we have a maritime climate so the tropical stuff won't grow here.However I had quite a successful yield last season (tomatoes, zucchini and many other squash, bell peppers, hot peppers, kale,oregano, basil) especially my green tomatoes ( evergreen variety and limetto cherry tomatoes) they grew like crazy for a reason unknown to me. Please keep up to hard work you put into these videos, they motivate many of us.

Thank you for these tips, this will be my first season growing on my own. I have helped with both my parents and my in-laws gardens but as a first time home owner now, I am ready to get started on my own! I couldn't agree with you more about fresh grown tomatoes vs store bought. They are always so disappointing from the grocery store.

Good luck Pierre! Don't get discouraged by the failures (we all have them), but be encouraged by the successes! 👍

Mark, those tomatoes look so good. You make me hungry!

@denisebrady6858 4 года назад

Another Great video Mark- my tomato harvest (still going) has been just amazing this year so we are very lucky here in Sub-tropical climate. Having a little bother with zucchini though as I have no pollinators & have been hand pollinating. Would love to see how you sun dried those tomatoes & packed them in oil please.
