One Year in a Small Tomato Garden

May 25, 2011

Last year, I followed master gardener Lee Reich's advice for creating a weed-free, dig-free garden and since I am a photographer I documented the process through the year. Click through to see photos of a scrappy piece of lawn transform into a lush tomato-producing garden. Since I am part of a great CSA in my area, all I wanted to grow on my own were San Marzano heirloom sauce tomatoes. They were so delicious I ate them all in fresh sauces and didn't can any. http://www.jennifermay.com/blog/2011/04/one-year-in-a-small-tomato-garden/

Thankyou for sharing the pictures. Geoff Lawton demonstrated a similar garden process in his video, "Soils". I enjoyed seeing your example of how it's done.

Just received my copy of What’s Wrong With My Vegetable Garden? It's very informative. I would recommend it, too, especially for a beginning gardener. It is definitely a "go to" book for common problems.

Any suggestions as to how to organically deter grubs and caterpillars from the tomato plants? It is frustrating when these crawlers bore into the green tomatoes and any advice would be appreciated.
