Gardening for the beginner : Container Tomato plant care 1



Hi there, who does not like to eat big red juicy tomatoes with your sandwiches or salads. I love growing tomatoes, and have been doing so for years now. To start your young start (plant from nursery) off right prepare your soil for the arrival of your new plant.

I mix into my soil organic powder fertilizer with a NPK( this stands for nitrogen, phosphorus,and potassium ) of 4-6-2. This is a all purpose fertilizer that is ph balanced to counteract acidic soil conditions. It contains blood meal, fish bone meal, Langbeinite, soft rock phospate and humic acid. please contact me at our website to learn how to get this brand of organic fertilizer.

To plant your plant dig hole in center of your pot. (please make sure that your growing pot is at least 25 inches in diameter.) All tomato plants grow extensive roots which need the room to expand and give you a strong healthy plant. Place your young plant into the hole and cover the root ball all the way up to the first new leaves of the stem. This will cause your plant to grow additional roots along the stem.
