Scott brought up the use of Kudzu and this is one of the ingredients that Mr. Wilber attributes his success to. Here at TVille we share information and put it out for people to see and use if they so desire. Not to critique unless you have actually done so which in your case I kind of doubt it. The information presented may not be for everyone but some may find it useful. And some methods may not be applicable to ones growing location but is to other locations!

No I haven't read the book and don't ever intend to. All the pseudo science about growing tomatoes is well documented, which is mostly presented sort of like witchcraft.
All variables being equal the one major parameter is Sun and temperature. All the hocus pocus soil recipes, support, pruning, planting has little bearing on production if the temperature and Sun is deficient.
The root area of a tomato plant is almost identical to the potato, other than those secret vertical ones grown by the Seattle Times. You know 400 pounds in a car tire. This indicates that it is relatively easy to saturate the root area with the necessary nutrients without growing some invasive plant to fix nitrogen. A sprinkling of Urea would suffice. But to each his own, as long as they pray in the security of there own home, and don't scare the horses.
