How do you pollinate greenhouse grown tomatoes, some say to tap the stems twice a day, others to spray water into the flower. What works for you.

I shake my every morning and evening and it really works. I am a first time gardener and so far its done the trick.

good luck :)

Just give the back of the flower truss a gentle tap with your fingers, enough to agitate it - has worked perfectly for me over the years.
