Hey all, Next season I plan on growing giant tomatoes which I never have before. I grow tomatoes every year in my garden and my biggest being a pound and a half. I was wondering if anyone has some good videos, articles, or advice to start me off right.

That was my previous pb.

5.04 this year.Right soil and right seed. Domingo was best variety for me. Wow paks helped. I used only one 'pak' under the plant that grew the 5.04. I think wood ash is valuable also go heavy on organics. Good luck.

Some would say dont go heavy on the organics but humic acid from well composted organics helps chelate minerals. The alternative is a chelated chemical fertilizer. Ideally use both chemical and organic chelation... Thats my best guess for getting great results.

Reed if I didn't pass it to you I have the Giant Tomatoes by Marv that I will let you borrow. I followed it and grew my 7.10, 6.16 and 5.84 in 2014.

Thanks all for the info and resources. Bill, I would love to borrow that book. I have read your pumpkin books already and starting to read them again.
