After tilling the ground, mixing the dirt with our new elephant dung, digging the holes for each tomato plant, watering so that the roots would be hydrated, and carefully placing each plant 2 ft. apart from one another, we mulched the area, sectioned it off with cinder blocks and watered the new tomato section thoroughly; planting the tomatoes close to the fenceline will prevent the need for tomato cages...instead, the plants will be carefully tied to the fenceline until they grab hold and begin to use the fence for support
