Hello,
I have been, with great success, training my tomato plants as a single stem up a rope.

I had considered allowing one or two low suckers to grow a bit and then bend/bury them into the ground. The hope would be that these side stems would root out and provide additional stability, nutrients, and moisture to the plant.

Have any of you tried this and, if so, what was the result?

Thanks.

Yes, tomato stems will root all along the ground where they contact soil/ground.
