Is it true you should not plant your tomatoes in the same spot you panted them in the season before? I have raised planters my husband built 4'x 8', 18 inches deep.
ANSWER:
Yes, it's true. Some tomato plant diseases live in the soil. Rotate your crop locations for all your plants from year to year for best results.
