LOL, Judy -- was this a reference to the "tomato taproot" thing? If so, no, not about WS tomatoes, more of a question of whether tomato seedlings actually benefit from the physical process of "potting up" or if the same benefit would come from starting the seeds in a shallow layer of soil in a deeper pot, then adding soil as the plant grows, to encourage a large root system. Although, I guess I
have heard of people WS tomato seeds... (and if you were asking about a different post entirely, sorry for further confusing things!
)
