Tomatoes...It been very hot in texas this year.  I had a great crop of
tomatoes this year.  This is something you might try, when the vine is
starting to brown take your hole and make a trench long enough to lay the
tomatoe vine down into it and cover it up with top soil, but leaving about 6
to 8 inches  of the top sticking up and stake it.  A new crop will start up
again.....I had great luck with this. Something else that i came up with
that works great.. I when down to wal-mart and brought one of those paper
shreeder.  You know all that junk mail you get and newspapers, i shreed it
up and when i have enough i put it into a large bucket and add a  very
little  fertilizer to it and let it set for about a week.  Then i sprayed it
into my garden and it works great...... Nick Apotolakis"
