I roll up clean panty hose and cut in four sections. Then I use the long strips to tie down the tomato plants. It does not cut the plant, but stretches, and the tomato grows to where it is stretched to.
I also use the home made compost layered in a fifty gallon plastic can. Raise up at least six inches off the ground. Add leaves,, grass clippings, chicken poop, coffee grounds, egg shells, bananas, and small branches for air space, repeat. You leave in sun. Add one gallon of water. Drill hole at bottom and put in rubber wine cork. After a few weeks of cooking. Pour another gallon of water on. Pull cork and drain juice into bucket. You now have compost tea. Put cork back in. Then keep adding to the bucket. It shrinks down every few weeks. You keep taking juice. You don't have to stir or break your back mixing. I also use the 10-10-10 every 10 days. I am in Sacramento. I get two to 3 pound tomato.
