Success with
Growing Tomatoes
A few simple guidelines for easy tomato growing:
- Select a sunny site
- If you are planting in a garden, ensure your soil is well drained and friable. If planting into a pot, use a premium potting mix.
- Add organic fertilizer to the soil and cultivate it through.
- Unless growing a dwarf variety, tomatoes will require a strong stake, approximately 2 metres in length, for support. Position the stake when you plant in the tomato.
- Water well after planting, and then keep the soil moist, but not soaking. Water your tomato plant at the base, to avoid fungal problems.
- A further application of fertilizer can be applied during the growing season.
- Harvest tomatoes regularly to encourage the plant to produce more fruit.
