I use a drip irrigation system for all...Funny that. I use a drip irrigation system for all of my plants except beans and peppers and I had nothing but split tomatoes. Last year I live in another home that provided some shade on the plants to where they only received about 6-8 hours of sunshine. That is my reasoning for a trellis or greenhouse shade of some sort. wvhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581259093210091348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953930781785213575.post-37061319158533587462012-11-26T07:17:20.001-08:002012-11-26T07:17:20.001-08:00HA!

Great life, but not sure it's one for me.<br /><br />Anyway, I had the same splitting fruit problem with my tomatoes. The blog clan came up with deep watering every several days allowed the ground to dry, thus the fruit swelled. I've put in irrigation that I run more regularly then my previous feeble attempts at hand watering, so we'll see how that goes.<br /><br />I've made the switch with my pigmy pomagranite (which I'm sure I just misspelled) and I don't have any split fruit this year. They all split last year. We'll see.Turlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466952089423973036noreply@blogger.com
