Quite a difference!

The pictures below are of two tomato plants planted a day apart. Last year I decided to experiment a little. Nothing real crazy but the thought of burying compostables where I wanted to grow my plants occured to me. I had a one gallon ice cream bucket filled to the top with things destined for the compost pile. So I dug a hole about a foot deep and dumped the contents into the hole and covered it up. I ended up with two more of the gallon buckets full and went ahead and buried one in each of the other two spots this year where I wanted to plant. Though I’m sure the worms are loving the fresher material the plants are not seeming to much care for it. It had been left in the buckets for a couple of months and I figured it wouldn’t hurt anything. I need to do some weeding but you can see a huge difference at two weeks in. I’m hoping the other two plants catch up as Summer progresses but we will see! The youngest boy, Brayzen in his zeal to help plant pulled all the markers out of the pots so I have no clue which variety is which. Lol
