I want to try grafting tomatoes but I do not want to pay a dollar a peace for the seed. Any suggestions for a good rootstock variety?

In the previous discussions on this question - the search will pull them up for you - some have suggested Celebrity. Another was Colossus. Maxifort, Multifort, Beaufort of course are all commonly used. Big Beef, the BHN varieties, even Rutgers. But I've never seen $1 per seed costs listed for any of them.

Which works best for you all depends on the soil disease resistance you are looking for. In theory any of the hybrids with built in resistance to that specific disease should work to provide at least some resistance. Including Big Beef, the BHN varieties, even Rutgers. But I've never seen $1 per seed costs listed for any of them.

Check out the Tomato Growers supply link as they have seeds for a new rootstock they are offering this year at a more moderate price range.

Here is a link that might be useful: TGS
