I am interested in your comment about moving the soil in your
tomato garden. I've been trying to "downsize" my garden since
it's hard to keep up with the weeding etc in a bigger one.  But
tomatoes can shade other plants so it's hard to rotate them.  How
deep does he dig the soil when he moves it?  That sounds like
that might be a good solution for me.
