Hi tomato growers, thought I'd catch the wave on this new thread and maybe chat along. Smiling

Typically I start and grow all my tomatoes from seed, mostly heirlooms but a few OP hybrids every now and then.

This year I'm "Trying" to grow a tomato in a pot (usually they're all in the ground), it's a dwarf variety called Rosella Crimson. I say "Trying" because it started out pretty rough since something kept eating the leaves! At one point the plant was a little skeleton! I dug all around in the soil thinking there must be a cut worm in there somewhere but never could find one!!!

But I didn't give up! Put some of the chicken's oyster shell grit all over the top of the soil about an inch thick and now my little plant has new leaves. Green Grin! It's a slow start but we'll see what happens!!
