I planted my tomatoes this spring using Earl's Hole. I am happy to report that my plants are LOADED with fruit. More so than they ever have been before...and the fruit seems a lot larger, too. Even the Opalkas which were sort of shy producers last year, are just loaded with really large fruit. I doubled the number of Opalkas this year because they really didn't produce too well previously, so I think I will be canning salsa and sauce at a furious pace very shortly, which makes me very happy.

I have learned so much this year reading this forum and others, and would like to thank everyone for being so generous in sharing their knowledge, but especially you, Earl. I am now a permanent convert to the Earl's Hole method.
