Things to put in the soil with your Tomatoes.
I have always put a banana or banana skins in the ground or pot with my tomatoes. I also when planting out, put the first two sets of leaves into the soil. The reason is that roots will grow out from these points and it gives your tomato plant more stability.
Here is someone else's tips that I found :- Not too sure about the fish head tho, bit stinky unless buried well down. Have a few neighbours who go carp fishing in the Murray, just to bury them around the garden.
- banana peel
- fish head/bones
- composted manure
- Epsom salts*
- baking soda*
- nonfat dry milk*
- 1 tsp. sugar
- ¼ cup Espoma GardenTome organic fertilizer
*Recipe for tomato blight buster: Mix 3 cups compost, 1/2 cup powdered nonfat milk, 1/2 cup Epsom salts, 1 Tbs. baking soda.
Sprinkle a handful into each planting hole, and put some powdered milk on the soil every few weeks throughout the growing season.
Watering your tomatoes :-
This is the most brilliant way to water tomatoes. Tomatoes don’t really appreciate their leaves getting wet, so watering at the base is important. Go one step further and bury a plastic milk bottle, next to each plant.
Before burying, use scissors or a kitchen knife to puncture holes in it on the bottom and sides. Fill the jug with water with your hose, and it goes right to the roots of the plant, feeding it well all summer long.
April's bunch :)
Luckily I harvested it before the cyclonic winds.
Pesticide free .... I cover them with blue plastic bags to assist their ripening process and to keep the freeloaders from helping themselves.
Why don't you just use fertilizer?
