Tip of the Day: "The Magic Wand"
If you want to dramatically increase your tomato yield, use an electric toothbrush! If you don't have one, buy one. You can get them online for about $12 or $15 and you will get your investment back in 1 season. When your plants are flowering simply tickle the base of the flower with the brush (running of course). If you look closely you will probably see a puff of pollen fall from the flower. That's all it takes to pollinate a tomato and you get a much better crop. This works really well if you don't have many bees around or not much wind.
