Thanks, Stvrob, I agree with your point,
the reason for me to graft is to have healthy tomatoes, so I have to plant it as deep as the grafting cut is, not deeper.
Than I have a second question, how long the tomatoes take to regroup/heal before they begin growing again after grafting. I assume 10 days to 2 weeks.
thanks again
