Onderwerp: perfect tomatoes

Has anyone ever heard about this 'perfect tomato trick'?

To grow near perfect tomatoes you place powdered milk in the hole prior to dropping in the tomato plant. If you grow them with seeds, wait until the tomatoes begin to appear and then push a stick around the plant to create a few holes and then drop powdered milk into the holes. I have been told that something in the powdered milk (the calcium I am assuming) helps the skin of the tomato to grow nearly perfect (also grows redder!?!?).

I don't know if this is true, and can't find much help about it elsewhere, hoping one of you can help.

Thanks!
