Tomato Sowing

Mick's column compliments the latest episode of GROW COOK EAT

I have a cunning plan to try to reduce the workload somewhat for the season ahead. Last year I grew around 75 tomato plants there, but like most growers I was battling the twin evils of too much work and not enough time. Such problems are compounded considerably when you have a massive commercial polytunnel filled with tomato plants. We struggled with weeding and watering all season long (though I did seem to stay on top of the harvesting and sauce-making). Catch up on GIY Founder, Michael Kelly's growing week here.
