We are revolutionising the home grown vegetable market with our range of grafted vegetable plants! Commercially the grafting method has been used for some time, but we've developed them for the home gardener, & early adopters have had extraordinary results: Big increases in yield from larger, more vigorous plants Earlier cropping, yet with sufficient vigour to crop well later in the season Grow in the greenhouse or outdoors
- little or no heating required Excellent resistance to soil-borne pest & diseases
- no more ring culture or grow bags
- plant straight in the soil Greater tolerance to nutritional disorders Note that grafted tomatoes are not suitable for grow bags. An enhanced technique for tomato grafting
- Since 2012, all our grafted tomato varieties now use this new technique which leads to even earlier & bigger crops, with fruiting beginning lower on the stems, producing at least one extra fruit truss per plant during the season!
