I have not. And I'm not sure why you would want to do this. Can you explain your reasoning ?

Just for better production. I have a fellow gardner who says the more roots your tomato plants have the better harvest you’ll have. He has says grafting a tomato with a rootstock is one way and the other way is to plant your tomatoes sideways. I have purchased mighty mato plants with great success. So i am wondering if having two rootstocks on to one plant would produce even more yield? I don’t think i have patience to plant my tomatoes sideways..

I have planted my Tomato Sideways many times. And Yes your plant will be stronger, just as planting them deeply.! Amen!!!

I have had a request this year to have grafts from Shepard Mallory Maucadine Grape Vines for sale. I guess I will try this year and let you know How it goes for me.
