I use wall-o-waters with tomatoes. They work nicely. Am in Atlanta (7b)
and already have flowers on 6 tomatoes in the ground (seeded 1/17/96)
using the 'em. Soil temperature ranges from low of 65F to 88F. Our normal
last frost date ranges between April 1-10; with "safe" planting time for
tomatoes generally accepted as April 15.

Am combining wall-o-waters with the red plastic mulch in another planting
for tomatoes I'll be setting out Easter Weekend. I put the w-o-w on the
ground about 10 days before I plant the tomato to let the soil temp
increase. Am going to direct seed into some w-o-w, too to see how that
does, too.

Things I have to be careful of using w-o-water: 1) don't use too large a
transplant...the leaves will get badly mushed, cooked, etc. from contact
with the inside plastic, 2) make sure to open up the top (e.g., don't let
the tepee become an oven) when it's sunny and warm.
