I tried that while on work assignment up North when I still worked in corporate America. That technique seemed to work really well at holding off the soil fungus and bugs. But this is Florida, so I will see what happens. Live and learn. I did grow tomatoes here in Florida once as a teen, but I drenched them so heavily with insecticide that my parents tried one and refused to use them - lots of tomatoes went to waste.

Take care.
