I’ve fallen in love with the mini soaker hose line they sell for drip irrigation at Walmart, set up rings of it around the bases of tomato plants, little risk of spreading blight and awesome for getting deep concentrated soak and widening the root ball. Then again, we grow our tomato bushes tall, usually 2.5’ diameter and 5-6’ tall. Neighbors love and hate us during the harvest time as we’ll generally have about 8 pints per plant harvest every few days. Means for a lot of tomato salads in the neighborhood.

I’m not sure there’s such a thing as, ‘too many tomatoes!’

But - ask me again next late Summer/Fall when I’m canning, LOL!
