This year I'll be trying an experiment in a portion of my tomato garden. Instead of double digging the whole patch, I'll simply use a post hole digger and dig down about two and a half foot deep where each plant will be placed. When I replace the soil, it will be nice and lose to this depth. This should allow the roots to deep! I will also give dry farming a try using Early Girl tomatoes which I understand lend themselves very well to this practice. Dry farming is said to cut size and yield a bit but gives the fruit a tremendous flavor as well as texture. I will use 6 -8 plants for this experiment. Has anyone else ever practiced or had any experience with dry farming? Any advice will indeed be helpful :)
