throu out the growing season, let's say you started your tomato plant on the date of April 12th. Well I would let my tomato grow three weeks befor i gave it any firtilizer. then after the first feeding i would firtilize the tomato plant twice a month. Or once depends on the grower. Tomatoe plants need alot of calcium during flowering. So feed away brother!
In the soil !!!! But beans grow better in cotton
Sandy soil is not the best for growing tomatoes because water and nutrients are lost so fast. You can add some good soil in where you grow tomatoes and that should work fine. Sne45: I say "no". It has very few nutrients. Only sea oats could survive in such soil.
A well-draining soil with high organic matter content and slightly acidic pH (around 6.0-6.8) is best for growing tomatoes. A soil mix that includes compost or aged manure will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy tomato growth. Additionally, adding perlite or vermiculite can improve soil aeration and water drainage.
Tomatoes grow best in well-draining, loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. A soil pH between 6.0 and 6.8 is ideal for optimal tomato growth and fruit production. It's important to provide consistent moisture and nutrients to support healthy tomato plants.
This all depends on which type of tomatoes your trying to grow. The different distances of each dfferent type of tomato is below: STEM* cherry tomatoes - 15 - 20 cm aprox STEM original tomatoes - 20-30 cm SOIL* cherry tomatoes - 5 cm or so SOIL original tomatoes - 14 cm or so SOIL - Tomatoes you grow from the ground STEM - tomatoes that grow on a plant
Use a good quality, general-purpose potting soil. That should be fine. And fertilize them regularly.
Mix fertilizer with the soil and water regularly.
Tomato seeds germinate best with soil temps between 70-90F. Dont transplant till night temps are above 45F.
fertilizer = rich soil = Bigger, more healthy tomatoes.
Tomatoes prefer well-draining soil, so clay soil may not be the best for their growth. To improve the soil, you can amend it with organic matter like compost or aged manure to increase drainage and nutrient availability for the tomato plants. Consider using raised beds or containers if the clay soil in your garden is a challenge.
Yes, at the end of the day they're all tomatoes and need the same basic environment and nutrients.
Tomatoes prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. Acidic soil can help in nutrient absorption and overall plant health, but extreme acidity may inhibit growth. Adding organic matter like compost can help balance pH levels for optimal tomato growth.
