[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4238810, member: 5412"] No matter what method you do, inground, raised bed, etc, get a soil sample analyzed specifically for tomato's. The PH and nutrients in the soil made the difference in a bumper crop and a poor one. Do another mid season and adjust accordingly. Our well water is very alkaline so we have to add a sulphur mix to the garden to make it close to a neutral PH all season long when watering. During the summers, my dad would use some old minnow seines to cover the plants that would limit the amount of hot summer sun getting to them. Shade coverings in different grades, (50%-80%) can be bought at Amazon to allow in some sunlight but block the heat. We use one on the awning of our RV. In direct sun, it feels 15 degrees cooler while standing behind it vs the direct sun, yet some does get through. [/QUOTE]
