Tips for Growing Tomatoes
| - |
Plant in a spot that gets 6-8 hours of daily sun. |
| - |
Soil must be rich in calcium, with a pH of 6-7 (don’t go below 5.5 or blossom-end rot and cracking can occur). (Tip: Save your eggshells! After they’re dry, crush them and sprinkle them around the base of the plant.) |
| - |
Use loose soil with a mixture of peat moss and manure, and keep it moist, but not soggy. Good drainage is important for tomatoes and can be best supplied by raised beds. |
| - |
Make sure your soil is warm. |
| - |
Don’t let plants get too leggy. If they become leggy, plant your tomato horizontally: dig a trench and lay the plant on its side with only the top cluster of leaves peeking above the soil line. |
| - |
After plants have gotten larger, you’ll need to harden them off by exposing them, on a daily basis, to outside conditions. Continue the process for two weeks, and your plants will be ready for the great outdoors. |
