debey do you do that with just tomatoes or any plants?
I am hoping my blue lake green beans do better this year the past 2 years haven't been up to par. It has been awhile since we dumped some horse manure on the garden maybe it is time again.
Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, is what I remember my Dad using them on.
Also, at the beginning of a seeded row, he would bury a piece of the tube, & plant 2 or 3 seeds in it, for seedling ID in the rest of the row.....

Next garden I have I will map out on the puter the way I want it and watch someone else plant it that way....If I ever get back to the land of real dirt...
Good to see you here Nomad! I think there is an amount of folks interested in veggie gardening but when they come to the garden thread they don't see any threads. Seldom do folks use the search feature then when somebody does it gets mentioned that "this is an old thread".
Maybe if enough of us keep coming to this thread it will stay on the first page and we get to share info.
I know what you mean about the bending but we still put out our garden to can up the bounty. Not only saving money but our food tastes so much better.
Thanks debey for your explanation.
We make the tubes out of newspaper in the past for little seedling starter pots.
I am very serious about starting an asparagus patch, from crowns. I think I need one more summer, to get the location ready, tho......
I always wanted to use a back hoe and make the trench a bucket wide about 3 feet deep...Bottom 30 inches of pure manure from a barn where it has not been rained on...cover with enough dirt to put the 2 year old crowns on and cover...I think the manure may have to settle some before hand so the crowns don't sink down to deep....they may do best on a slightly raised bed if the soil is of a clay type like I had in MO...I had really good asparagus there...
I have a friend. who has 4 rows, 250' long. He has a 3pt trench attachment......we used it, to plant crowns, in that patch, & fillled in the trenches as the plants grew...........

Sounds like a plan...I only had a troybuilt tiller to make my trench with...only a foot deep...
I heard that on "You Bet Your Garden on NPR a while back.
