Get Your Tomatoes off to a Perfect Start

Enjoy your best crop of tomatoes yet with these 10 tips to get your tomato plants off to a strong start.

Tomatoes in Peat Pots

 

Use Biodegradable Pots

Peat pots make planting extra easy: Just dig the hole, put in the plant, and fill in with soil. There's no need to take your plants out of the pot.

Here's a hint: Cut off any extra peat-pot sides that stick up above the potting mix. If you don't, the peat pots will dry out faster than the surrounding soil, leaving your tomato plants thirsty and suffering.
