[QUOTE="Bob, post: 158147, member: 6893"] Well, when I plant my started plants I try to keep things far enough apart, (lots of room for me) and I'll rototill around things. After plants get going fairly good I pull and hoe weed for one to two hours every day. My tomato plants are in buckets with the bottoms cut out and for several reasons. One it makes it easy to rototill around them and not hit the plants, (remove wire handles and if you have to ask why you never ran a rototiller from hell before!) so anyways it keeps small critters from getting them and if cold or hail comes it's easy to cover the buckets. Also when I water and mix calcium feed to prevent bottom rot I can pour it in the buckets to get directly to the roots. Whenever I mow my yard I also use my lawn clippings around the buckets to help keep moisture in the ground but I do cheat a bit before I put down my clippings I'll use a good dose of Preen. Make sure plants have a good start before applying Preen, and after my clippings I'll add more Preen on top of clippings. Works great, and I'll rototill everything back in at the end of the season. In one of my up coming videos you'll see also what I do with my corn stalks. My Super 100's tomato plants (cherry tomato) grew to be about 8' tall and I have to keep cutting them down in height because they get so top heavy they can't stand up in the heavy tomato stands even. I'll get some pics of my tomatoes and pepper plants on here in the next day or so. [/QUOTE]
