You are doing it all wrong. Here’s the right way to plant tomatoes & get plants up to 8 feet high

Tomatoes require well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Using poor quality soil can lead to nutrient deficiencies and waterlogging. Amend your soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve its quality.

Overcrowding tomato plants can lead to competition for resources and increased susceptibility to disease. Space your plants 18-24 inches apart to ensure they have enough room to grow.

Tomato plants can grow tall and heavy with fruit, requiring support to prevent them from toppling over. Failing to provide cages or stakes can lead to broken stems and reduced yields.
