A Tomato Growing Trick That Seems Insane, But Works Like a Charm
Рет қаралды 390,221
Күн бұрынIf you like the flavor of heirloom tomatoes but the performance of a hybrid, grafting tomatoes is a surprisingly easy and fun way to get the best of both worlds. By combining a rootstock tomato like the 'Fortamino' with your favorite heirloom, you can boost its resistance to disease, the number of tomatoes per truss, and even the leaf cover to help prevent sunscald.

Hey Kevin, Have you ever thought of grafting a tomato onto a potato, they both belong to the nightshade family and you will get both potatoes and tomatoes, however yes you'll get less of each but it is a fun experiment and would make for a great video, you should try it sometime. Happy Gardening.

Since we're talking about tomatoes: a few weeks ago I could educate my mum on how to propagate tomatoes thanks to one of your old videos. She's been gardening for over 30 years and didn't know that was possible. Her tomato seedlings didn't make it and she was pretty sad about it. She couldn't find that specific variety in the shops, only online. But they were too expensive for just two small plants, due to it being a rare variety. I told her that I followed your advice on propagating tomatoes last year and that she could give that a try. She did and now she has 4 for the price of 2. Her props have taken off pretty well and she's happy again. Thank you!

We did it! I purchased the Fortamino rootstock seeds and started some of our favorite heirlooms. Mortgage Lifter, Paul Roberson and Brandywine. We've tried to graft tomatoes before, but my husband and I almost killed each other. We are now retired, I follow you and others and we did it! We actually planted ours in the ground already and they are doing great! You and Jacques have really inspired me to up my game and I am always starting seeds for my garden. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement.

Good morning and a Happy Boxing Day to any Brits following this channel! This video is so fun to watch. I learned grafting in two of my Ag classes at Bakersfield College: Ornamental Horticulture and Plant Science. One of my professors was amused that one student had so many Ag classes, yet wasn't an Ag major. Well, those classes satisfied science units for my AA-T in English and Literature, and I graduated in May and am currently at CSUB. But I digress! I love gardening, horticulture, botany, etc. Since I will be launching a channel soon, mainly cooking and baking videos to start, and I'm in the process of over-wintering and prepping garden space at my cottage (home), I'll be redirecting followers to your channel, along with a few others I follow, for all their gardening needs for the time being.

I decided to give grafting a shot after I saw the video where you introduced the fortamino seeds. I ended up buying fortamino, estamino, and super strong rootstocks and grafted my seedlings when they were a little younger than the ones in this videos. Of the 30 I grafted, 28 took and I have em hardening off outside now that it’s warm enough here. The ones that failed were smaller than the rest and I don’t think they got to make good contact with each other in the clips.

Hey Kevin, I planted my gardens a month ago and my tomatoes cucs etc have hardly grown 2 inches, I get the weather did this, I'm near you in SoCal where it's been unseasonably cool/overcast, but I noticed my topsoil looks very "sandy". Would it still be a benefit to add healthy soil on top and water it in? I obviously cant till it much with seedlings in the ground. I'd hate to lose my entire crop having overvalued the condition of my soil. I added plenty of fresh soil last year, but I seriously injured my back so I couldn't grow last year...I assumed the sol would still be fertile but I was mistaken, when I water the earth looks mediocre at best. I did turn it over 2 feet deep and added some, soil/manure but looks like not enough fresh soil. My Basil leaves look pale....Thx Brother

Hi Kevin and Jacques. This is a great video. I've tried grafting tomatoes several times and have had mixed results. I've learned some good tips. My one suggestion is that you probably need to sanitize your razor/cutting tool between cuts with some rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. I was especially concerned looking at Jacques' grafts as he had a lot of soil on his hands and it looked like it was getting onto the grafts. You want to avoid getting any soil or other contaminants into your grafts. Otherwise, you're setting yourself up for disease and possibly failure.

Cool Maybe I'll try that one day to see if it works. Right now I have 16ac to plant onto if I wanted so no real drive but who knows what will happen in future. And it would not HAVE to be the Fortamino seedling for the rootstock? All you are wanting is a strong healthy rootstock so any that is like that would do?

I'm doing the same thing with cannabis plants. I'm licensed for 15 plants at a time and yields are a top priority. Morning Star CBD strain with no THC and 16% CBD is the rootstock (will be anyways) with a potential yield per outdoor plant of 5 kilograms of dried and manicured buds. That's why I bought the seeds. 11 pounds of buds a plant and 15 plants is a hefty harvest indeed! Especially since I'll be growing for the seeds to sell at $10 each to a bulk seller(they'll double the price). Fat Bastard strain with about 600-900 grams per plant outdoor yields also has a potential potency of 38% THC. Rather than trying to breed the 2 strains, I'll be grafting onto a superior yielding rootstock. The best part is my root stock is considered hemp, not marijuana and doesn't count for the permit. A friend even sells Morning Star clones on Craigslist without any hassles.
