Since our TGN community is so geographically dispersed—on a global scale, really—I want to keep posting this Homestead Foundation Video, because in certain climatic conditions, this problem starts to appear. If your tomatoes are still being produced (or if you are in a colder climate, you may have just started production!), it is never too early to start thinking about this issue now!
So, here is my question: when your tomatoes stop production, what do you do with your tomato fragments?
I shared my intentions for my own tomato plant above Homestead Foundation Video-but is my garden cleaning plan really necessary? I really want to know what you think, so please tell me your opinion in the comments!
