I set out my fall plants and experimented with not burying them deep. Many I planted even with the top of the cup and I couldn't tell much difference in the growth pattern. One thing I did notice is that I didn't lose as many of my newly planted tomatoes to Bacterial wilt with the shallower planted ones; but that could have just been luck. I am going to see if it makes a difference this spring and summer when I set out the grafted plants.
