I was concerned about planting depth for my tomato PLANTS, too. Same directions as Crazyhorse, from the Dixondale Onion Company, where I got the plants. So, I'm trying to figure out what I could use to make holes at the same standard depth.

Hmmmmmmm.. Then, I remembered all those tubes of caulking I had in the garage, and the tips on them. hmmmmmmmmm. I wonder....

Well, I used the tip of the caulking tube to dot, dot, dot straight down my row in the Earthboxes. I did 15 plants in two rows, for a total of 30 per box, with the intention of spacing out with thinning them down the line.

Worked like a charm!
