The Tomato Project 2016

Pushing the bounds on tomato taste, nutrition, and yield. The main focus of this effort is to optimize the soil with minerals and biology to create a highly nutrient rich environment. The quality and nutrition of any fruit or vegetable is directly related to the minerals available as the plant is growing.

Highlights:

• Teaching by Jon Frank
• Opportunity to meet Lynn Hoag
• Brix testing and taste testing Tour of the plot

Featuring:

• 7 rows with different fertility combinations
• 3 rows utilizing the Ellen White Tree Planting Method
• 10 different varieties replicated across each row (2 Hybrid - 8 Heirloom)
• Nutrient testing to show which methods and varieties pick up the most minerals
