(also, you will get vastly more fruit out of each plant if it isn't devoting most of its energy to leaf-production. You can prune back up to a third of the plant-mass at a time, and for normal tomato maintenance, you just pinch off the little diagonal branchlets that try to pop out between the main stem and a horizontal branch. Cut those suckers off. You'll get so much more fruit for the trouble.)
