I am wonder where I should set the tomato and how I should trim after setting. Fertilizing and watering is my other question.

If we have a base of good plant nutrition, it seems to me the one of the biggest factors in getting a big tomato is getting the right blossom and getting it pollinated. What are you guys doing to get healthy blossoms and get them fully pollinated?

is it better to prune your plants or not, ive read that pruning the plants heavily causes the leaf curl and some growers are having good results not pruning.

Have you had trouble with BER?
If so how have you switched your growing practices? Are you on a well and, if so, is your water high in calcium (hard)? Thanks
