@ uufta-not my truck, just jealous about the boat. We are moving and sold the motorcycle, the Rubicon, and the pool table. We're selling all our toys and I'm being a bad sport!
This is my dream home that is now up for sale too. I will miss it so much!

Here are my tomatoes after putting a ton of compost down and tilling it in really paid off big time for me this year Soon I will be enjoying fresh salsa as you can see there are some of my hot peppers I also have some green peppers and more jalapeno peppers growing on the other side and in the front I have a bunch of onions growing my neighbors down the hill from me always give me a ton of fresh cilantro
A while back I got a bunch of industrial reenforcing wire scrap and made tomato cages, dug a shallow ditch in rich ground, planted a dozen tomato plants in the bottom, cleaned out a barn and got some aged cow manure.
After the plants got started, gave each a shovel around base. watered in.
As they grew I added more manure, ended up with a trench 3-4 inches deep
full of manure. Damn plants came out of top of cages(6ft) and made over a bushell per plant.
@Chewy
Not bad I used to use manure I found out this year that I got better results with plain old compost I decided to use this method after I read an article about the success of growing Tomatoes in 100% compost I would say I have 60%-70% compost I am not convinced fully that you do not need some old fashioned dirt in the mix it seemed to work very well for the pioneers As of now I plan to add another ton of compost at the end of the season and till it all in good and then add another ton next spring.I also found that soaker hoses are key they cut down on the dirt splatter it helps cut down plant disease (the brown spots on the leaves)
