- Plant in a well-drained soil that has been enriched with organic matter, and within a pH
range of 6.0 - 7.0.
- Sink transplants approximately two inches below the first set of true leaves; or true leaf
branches. This encourages more root development and a stronger plant.
- Caging tomatoes encourages more air flow which helps hinder fungal and bacteria
growth.
- Sucker plants periodically if larger fruits are acquired.
- Avoid irregular water, which leads to fruit splitting.
- Make sure to rotate crops from year to year and never plant in the same spot as peppers,
eggplants, or other tomatoes two years in a row.
- Watch for late blights, fungal problems in mid to late summer, and pests throughout the
growing season.
