Yup. I found this link from wikihow to be really spot on with how it is done based on my own experience.

Chicken wire works ok too if you add some sturdy takes to it. But then chicken wire might be bad choice because if those tomatoes get pushed up against it, it will grow around the wire. Good luck with that. Better to just feed them to the chickens.

5 strong tomato plants for one household is a lot of tomato.
1 tomato can give you 50 plantS easy.

They way I do it is I just cut 2-3cm thick sliced and feed them to the soil as is. Add water and carry on. In about 2 weeks or less you should have plenty of seedlings ready for the first transplanting.

Works for me every time. I haven't planted a sound garden in a while though. Not much time in my hands unfortunately. Aiming to change that a bit more as time goes on. Looking for a house maiden I can trust. Probably get my nieces for the job lol.
