Oi oi Blue couple of pics here of what i was trying to describe to you. Better to have less plant than more with tomatoes. (with the exception of cherries, tom thumbs etc) I run mine with tworuns that gives me excellent air flow and really nice evenly staggered trusses. Good airflow is important mate as they are prone to fungal problems and makes it harder for pests to hide. In the ground I plant them no more than 500mm apart. I keep the first growing tip under the first truss for my second run. If you have more runs always keep from the first axis below a truss. When they get over my head I top em out that gives me around ten trusses per plant. Another reason I only run two lines is this,To give you an idea mate I have two Romas here with an average of 6 fruits per truss x ten trusses thats plenty of fruit for one plant to handle and get nice even sized fruits. and the other variety is a small fruit bit bigger than a golf ball perfect for jarring. Im getting an average of 9 fruits per truss x 10 trusses. This particular variety in spring produces no less than 13 and up to 22 fruits per truss. Thats alot of fruits man. Running more than 2 lines or having more than 1 plant per pot is gunna tke some serious work and feed. They hungry and thirsty buggers.
Nice pics Hobbit and some good info there thanks mate. A couple of last years beefsteak toms suffered from rot big ol girls they were which as you say above could have done with good airflow
yeah airflow is paramount mate. I noticed I said no more than 500mm apart. I meant no closer than 500mm. Lack of Cal is also a big cause of rot. Good luk brother.

A few pics of my winter tomatoes.
Hi Hobbit, I'm probably a bit late for this suggestion but my gran used to swear by growing garlic, aniseed and fennel to keep certain pests away.

Thankyou Ganjaholic for the graphic signature.

Cheers for that Clarice, your gran would be right, garlic any thing in the Allium family seems to keep pests away. Ive never grown Aniseed or fennel but ive no doubt they might as well. There is alot going on in companion planting regards the microbe relationships below the soil as well. I try not to plant to many rows of things in the garden, I prefer to let things self sow and then let selected ones grow, seems to work better than a row of this and a row of that.
