Step inside the Obama Presidential Center’s landscape and learn how salvaged wood, nurse logs, and layered plantings rebuild soil biology—plus why the garden was designed to feel like part of Jackson Park.

Obama Presidential Center Garden Tour: Nurse Logs, Woodland Walk & Soil Life

Inside The Epic Scale of Obama's Presidential Garden

I'm stoked to announce an EPIC collab with @ObamaFoundation - a FULL tour of the new garden landscapes at the upcoming Obama Center and a conversation with President Obama!

Myself and a few other awesome creators sat down with the President to speak about the philosophy behind the center, and of course I had a few questions about the garden spaces...

First off, from a raw gardening approach, it's awesome to see a civic project put edible gardens front and center. The Eleanor Roosevelt Fruit & Vegetable Garden being a true standout and aptly named, as Mrs. Roosevelt championed Victory Gardens, which provided up to 40% of our produce during WWII.

But even techniques like "nurse logs,” where they used logs from trees felled during construction to inoculate fresh soil with the local microbial flora, to me, showcased an advanced approach to garden spaces, all of which I'm excited to share with you in an upcoming video.

The center is OPEN and ready for you to check it out. If you're in the area, I recommend stopping by!

Learn how to prune tomatoes for maximum yield and healthier plants. Discover when to prune lightly or train main stems based on determinate vs indeterminate growth, plus airflow and disease prevention tips.

Tomato Pruning Guide: Determinate vs Indeterminate for More Fruit

How to Prune Tomatoes for Maximum Yield and Plant Health

tomatoes have the most strategies for pruning and they can be quite confusing.

So in this video we're going to go deep into the world of the tomato to

understand if you should prune and if you should, how you should do it.

Kevin Espiritu here from Epic Gardening where it's my goal to help you grow a

greener thumb and really to prune and care for some amazing tomatoes.

it's less do exactly this and it's more understanding the types of tomatoes that

exist, as well as how the type of tomato affects the pruning strategy.

And even how the way you decide to grow the tomato affects the pruning strategy.

There's a lot of debate, I think in the tomato growing world about, oh,

There really is not one singular best way for many varieties.

And so that's why I wanted to approach the video this way.

Hopefully to give you a little bit more insight, a little deeper look.

So without further ado, oh, by the way, at the end of the video,

I'm going to show you something you should do at the end of the season for

pruning as well. So stay tuned for that. But without further ado,

cultivate that Like button for incredible, amazing tomato harvests.

And let's get into it. First of all, why should you even prune a tomato?

What's the, what's the purpose? What are the benefits that you gain? Well,

but I think myself and pretty much anyone else who has experienced growing

The reason why is because it's multifaceted really. You have leaves, right?

So the leaves of your plants are effectively just energy factories. Now,

well what happens to the leaves on the interior?

They're basically just getting shaded out and so they're not really doing that

And you can almost think of them in the world of a factory or an office as like

an unproductive worker. What happens to unproductive workers? They get fired,

And so we're going to fire those by pruning those out and thinning that out.

That also increases air flow throughout the tomato plant.

So tomatoes really are susceptible to a lot of different types of diseases -

early blight, Septoria leaf spot - all things that can decimate a plant.

And they thrive in conditions that are humid,

moist and there's not a lot of air circulation,

so by pruning you actually open that up quite a bit.

Another thing that you'll do is by pruning out the lower layer,

you actually give yourself the ability to interplant down there without it being

what a lot of people will do is they'll also prune off some of these bottom

keep the disease off from the soil and also allow them to plant in.

Now let's talk about indeterminate and determinate tomatoes.

The first thing we have to talk about are the categories of tomatoes and your

main two are going to be your determinate and your indeterminate, right?

And so just the names alone kind of give away some of the characteristics you

Determinate tomatoes are called that because their height and life span is

They get to about four to five feet tall and their final bud at the top is a

flower bud, much like this one right here.

And so they don't have any more potential to grow.

Now determinate tomatoes are great because they grow in a short defined growing

season where the fruit often ripens at or near the exact same time.

And so if you have a short growing season and you want a consistent amount of

fruit to come right out at one time, determinate can be a great idea. Also,

they're much more compact. So if you're short on space, they're a great idea.

Now pruning them is different than pruning indeterminate.

So indeterminate tomatoes, as the name implies,

It just keeps growing until the season kills it off.

So if you're in a climate like mine and you have some space,

indeterminate can be a really good idea. And when I say climate like mine,

I mean San Diego is zone 10b. Some people in our climate, myself included,

And I've even seen some people overwinter their tomatoes,

which is really crazy and it's just not something you think that you could do,

you have things like dwarf indeterminate tomatoes,

which have been bred to have a compact growing habit,

but technically are still indeterminate. For the purposes of this pruning video,

I'll put them in the category of determinate as far as the pruning strategy.

And let's get into that pruning strategy right now.

Understanding the basics of tomato anatomy is essential for pruning.

So first of all, we have the main main stem,

and you'll know why I'm calling that in a second. This is the main main stem.

Now, what's coming off right here? Well, this is just your basic sun leaf.

This is just a leaf that's here to produce a bunch of energy to send into the

next piece that we can identify right here, which is a flower bud.

You've got a bunch of them right here. Of course,

this is what produces our tomato fruits. Now you'll notice this keeps going up,

right? Our main leader as we'll call it, keeps going up,

This is coming out at a roughly 45 degree angle between the main stem and a leaf

node and it looks like it kind of is producing a lot of the other pieces we've

already seen. There's another leaf, there's another leaf,

and it even seems like we might have the beginning of a little flower bud

this is called a sucker and on indeterminate tomatoes and determinate alike,

you'll see these. Now the pruning strategy changes,

but this is really what you want to keep your eye on when it comes to pruning

tomatoes because these are the guys that can really hamper and/or enhance the

Now you know this is a sucker because if we follow the plant upwards,

we see another leaf node, we see another young flower node,

Pruning tomatoes is a topic of much debate - everyone seems to have their own method. This video looks at the two major types of tomatoes - determinate tomatoes and indeterminate tomatoes and the differences of pruning each. We also discuss the different parts of a tomato plant so you can look at your plant and actually know what's going on in the mess of stems, leaves, and flowers.
