Re: Help somethings eating my tomatoes and its not me!

Thanks so much for the tip. My husband just cooked a bunch of eggs so I
went and put the crushed shells around each plant. I also trimmed alot
of non-fruit bearing branches off the plant, they were going nuts and
getting really spindly. Am i supposed to trim the plant somehow as it
starts to grow so it doesn't get spindly? Thanks for your help. Mary
