 * 4) Fill each hole with water. While the water is soaking in, put into the hole, human hair (get it at your local barber,it not only fertilizes but deters underground rodents.) Also place in the hole one tablespoon of Epsom salt (yes what you soak sore feet in).[[Image:Grow Tomato Plants Like Grandpa Did Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 5) Place seedling in the hole just leaving the top 2 sets of leaves above ground. Fill with Miracle Grow moisture control potting soil, or your own compost. Press firmly.[[Image:Grow Tomato Plants Like Grandpa Did Step 5.jpg|center]]
 * 6) The plant roots will go down searching for that water you put in so don't water till it looks like they're wilting. That sets in a deep root system.[[Image:Grow Tomato Plants Like Grandpa Did Step 6.jpg|center]]
 * 7) Put up tomato cages or heavy fence wire for the tomato to grow up. as the blooms set clusters of little tomatoes pick off about half so what is left will get huge. The size of a hamburger bun.[[Image:Grow Tomato Plants Like Grandpa Did Step 7.jpg|center]]
 * 8) Pick sucker leaves. This will also make your tomatoes bigger. Suckers come out at the vine right at the joint of the leaf.[[Image:Grow Tomato Plants Like Grandpa Did Step 8.jpg|center]]
