I have recently read several comments in different forums regarding
decreased production when tomatoes are trained up a "string trellis."  Last
year, I used the exact pole--string idea from Mel's book and thought things
went pretty well.  I grew Early Girl and Sweet 100.  Neither had great
amounts of fruit, but seemed OK.  Does anyone have any comments about this
decreased production debate or some suggestions to increase the crop?  By
the way, I had absolutely no trouble with disease or pests.  I just kept
thinking it was the great air circulation using the vertical method!
