Saskatchetoon, I have not yet tried grafting but may after this season. I've lost a large number of tomato plants this year to Southern Stem Blight. It occurs naturally in the soil. It attacks most anything. One of our county extension agents recommends wrapping stems just above and just below soil surface in aluminum foil. I did, and have had the worst year ever with SSB. I can say this foil did NOT prevent SSB. It may have fostered it. I will go back and read what Bill has reported. I know I have used many of his recommendations regarding varieties that do well in the southern heat.
