2010 was a bumper crop year! i don't think i've ever had harvest like this since i started growing tomatoes in late 90s. plentiful, healthy, and beautiful tomatoes.
but oh so heart-breaking tasteless!! not one of the 36 varieties tasted good. not even the reliable sunsugar. so i replaced half of the sterile soil with composted manure and the taste improved for the little ones but not for the beefsteaks.
i don't know which is worse, 1 or 2 excellent tasting tomatoes (sometimes zero) from diseased plants or lots of yukky tomatoes from healthy plants.
i still think SWC is a good idea. probably just need to read up on the soil and feeding threads.
the quest continues...
