This week's video is a breakdown of tomato grafting and how to do it in a low budget scenario (and if it's even worth it).
Covered in this video are: what is tomato rafting, is tomato grafting worth it, economically, should I graft my tomatoes, corky root rot, root knot nematodes, bacterial, virus, wilt, soil born diseases, do grafted plants yield more.
