Re: Tomato heating cable

Having said that, it is important to realize you are unlikely to ever
meet
all these requirements totally. I would never be able to plant a single
tomato given strict adherence to these requirements, but I know when
conditions are likely to get as close as they ever come to them and I
have
my seedlings ready to plant then.

Thanks for all the tomato info.  I'll actually take everything you said
as a  challenge.
I'm sure you are right but I have more fun trying to come up with
something new and cheap and reusable in my garden than actually putting
food on the table.  I am lucky enough to have a large garden, 25 feet by
50 feet, so I plant twice as much as I need and expect to get one half
the yields that I would get if done properly.  
     Maybe if I run two cables.  One underground for the roots and one on
top of the 
ground for the leaves.  Hmmm.... I've got to think about this.  I know
that I will try something, and then try to improve on it each year. 
Luckily I have the room to both grow tomatoes for the table and canning
and still have room to experiment.
     Thanks for your help.  I will be keeping your post in a folder
marked "I told you so" so that I can check back to help see where I go
wrong.
     PS  Maybe everything you said is just the opposite for me in
Colorado because your tomatoes are growing upside down.  :)
     
     Stan.     The cheap and lazy gardener
