I have so many tomato plants left I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of planting some on the ground, and letting them sprawl. I do have 40 plants in a protected greenhouse, in tomato cages. But these plants will be left to grow wild on the ground. Maybe I'll put a weed blocker under them, and straw to protect them from mold. And whatever happens, happens. I was only going to throw them away anyway. Has anyone ever grown sprawling tomatoes? It is how they grow in the wild. Maybe I’ll try 40 plants sprawling, and 40 plants in tomato cages.
Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
