Maybe its the nice soil in your posts. My tomatoes usually have a root system about that big but I'm growing them in the alkali desert.

Rosario is growing in raised beds on laterite. Its pure aluminum and iron and probably would make great adobe bricks but not so much for growing vegetables. When the roots hit the laterite, they are done growing downwards. The roots on Rosario's plants are growing sideways.


They are growing sideways! Is there anything I can do about that? Could that be causing the problem?
