Sometimes I do. Rather than put the energy into growing leaves, it is
supposed to put that energy into the fruit. Personally, I've not seen a
real difference.

I met a grower that did some work for Campbell's years ago. He says a
good plant in proper soil should yield a bushel of fruit. I never got
half that.
