Grafted tomatoes

Alice Doyle at Log House Plants says they’ve been doing it in Europe for ages. The benefits are many. Tomatoes grafted onto sturdy rootstock resist disease, resist nematodes, resist cold and provide a bumper crop from fussy heirlooms even in depleted soils. Every tomato she’s trialed has been bigger and better on grafted rootstock.

“It’s just amazing, the difference,” she said yesterday on the phone. Better, you can plant them in the same spot year after year.
