About 6 years ago, I tried a tomato growing method that an old gardener told me about. It led to the largest and most prolific tomato plants I ever had. Unfortunately, during our move the following year, I lost the paper describing the 'recipe'. This year is the first year we will have a garden again (in 5 years) and I wanted to replicate the tomato method but I cannot find the recipe anywhere online.

From what I recall, the idea was to get rabbit or hog wire fencing, about 30 to 36" wide and make a circular cage about 3 or 4 feet in diameter. Fill the middle with compost and peat moss to a level about 12" above ground. Add some amendments. Plant tomatoes (2 or 3 plants?) along the outside of cage and stake them to cage as they grow. The idea was to water only the middle of the cage and the roots of the tomatoes will naturally go towards the richer soil and water. I just cannot recall the recommended ratio of compost, peat moss and/or amendments.

Anybody on here familiar with this method???? THANKS!!!!
