There is this interesting property of tomato plants– they can sense the color red. If the plants sense the color red, it feels as if it is crowded and must step up its game to compete with the plants around it for light and nutrients.

There are products like high yield red Tomato Mulch and the red Tomato Automator that artificially supply the red color and promote enormous growth without the use of any supplemental fertilizers. The Tomato Mulch is a plastic sheet mulch that reflects red like back up to the plant. The Tomato Automator serves two purposes, allowing watering a feeding directly to the roots, and creating that red color that drives the tomatoes wild. If you use one of these products in conjunction with your normal fertilization regimen, the results will be enormous.

Usually, regular watering and feeding plus adding a little extra support, like a stake or cage will be enough to ensure a plentiful harvest. But, if you are looking for a really impressive tomato haul, keep watching the catalogs and the gardening shows because you never know what great idea will come next.
