If you follow these few tips when planting tomatoes, you can expect healthy and large fruits and lots of tomatoes. It often happens that we bring tomato seedlings to plant, but the plants seem to wither. If your tomato seedlings are in poor condition before planting, here's what you should do.
Soak the tomato root in water before planting. The root supplies the plant with water and hydrates it. A trick for gardeners is to add a spoonful of sugar to that water. The plants will quickly revive and be ready for planting. Another important tip when planting tomatoes is to plant them deep.
Dig a hole about 25-30 cm deep, so that two-thirds of the tomato plant is underground. Tomato roots grow on the stem wherever it is in contact with the ground. It means that the more tomato stalks in the ground, the bigger the root of the plant will be.

Great tips. Will try next time. Last season here was driest on record and all my tomatoes, and many other plants died - despite all watering and mulching and fertilising. YET, 3 Cherry Tomato plants, self seeded in the hot gravel of my patio, took off vigorously, 3 months AFTER Tomato season proper! Have have several punnets worth from them and are still, now mid-winter! producing fruit. Even more flowers developing despite 3 nights of frost ... Go figure! Same with Silverbeet plants. Lot's of seedlings now popping up in the gravel! I'm taking them aout and transferring to the actual veggie garden. but the free-range ones look healthier. Beginning to think should just throw a few seed packets of everything I want to grow to the wind and see what more free ranging does! 😵‍💫

Some tips that I can pass on are as follows: 1) Fish. Go fishing in the spring for Bluegills. Bury one of them beneath each tomato plant. 2) Watering. I use drip irrigation. Then, when plants need water, I can provide that with the turn of a valve and zero labor. 3) use composted manure for fertilizer. It makes your plants so much more productive.

[@ElectricalShorts-hu6wh]

I have a minnow pond. When I go fishing and a few minnows die in the minnow bucket by the time I get back home, I usually toss them into the hen-yard as a snack for my layers. But at planting time, I tend to bury them instead under seedlings.

[@rickpick9058]

Did exactly this many years ago - the fish were even bluegill. Never had much success. Family dog dug up the fish and the tomato plants and made a stinky end to the tomato-growing…..

If tomatoes don't like their leaves wet, what about when it rains?

[@colindean8261]

Yes, there's not much you can do about that. We get really big thunderstorms here in Italy in the summer, and the plants look pretty battered after, but I still seem to get a lot of tomatoes, albeit with that base-of-the-fruit decay with some varieties. The best variety that withstands the rain is the plain, round salad type. Bombproof:

[@JustinMiales]

Tomatoes like the soil very warm, multivitamins that have expired don't throw them away crush them up and in water and use it on your plants

[@RoseBornagain]

I keep the eggshells then I put them in the oven for 30 minutes then I grain until dust then I use it for my plants as a calcium resource.

[@gwendunnaway9473]

Crushed eggshells are also good deterent for snails & slugs

[@gb3776]

@RoseBornagain Why do you need to put them in the oven? Why can’t you just grind and put on the plant?

[@sarah2.017]

Adding a crushed eggshell to the hole when planting tomatoes also gives them needed calcium.

[@GalloPazzesco]

As a tomato growing mad man myself .... I confirm this video to be well done with the possible exception of using spray on the plants, once they blossom, to prevent blossom rot. Tomatoes do like water on their leaves, hopefully in the form of rain .... but during dry hot droughts that we have here in SC, I'll often feed them a liquid diet of calcium to prevent blossom rot because we're below the fall line in sandy, loamy, soil that does not retain water well at all. Also, I'll use crushed cooked egg shells to fortify my sand so-to-speak. And in really hot periods I'll also shade my tomatoes .... it's not uncommon for us to have 110° killer sun days here in SC. One last thing .... if you see something sucking your tomatoes dry, with obvious bite marks .... it's the squirrels. Put a few bowls of water around your tomato plants for the tree rats so that they'll quit playing Dracula with your tomato fruit. BTW ... the best tomatoes in the country are grown here in South Carolina, especially John's Island.

If you let them wilt like that, you have put their maturity back by many weeks. That goes for nearly all leafy plants.

[@Searogue2000]

Here on the Island (BC) the Old Timers advised me that the trick to raising robust heavy yielding plants was to place a salmon head,guts or trimmings in each hole and place tomato on top. It worked wonders.

[@barneyrubble1431]

it's worth buying eggs not to eat but to feed your plants,, much better that way than stinky rotten fish,, LOL just crack an egg about 6 in under each then plant,, I've done that and it's fantastic ! every year I experiment with something different an some years,, not as good but still good,, leave the egg shell there,, will turn to useable calcium in a year for the next crop,, I haven't killed too many plants, but I've tried just to prove that that was the wrong thing to do LOL have a nice day !

[@ScottMason-ss8ww]

It slows growth as its too much for the plant to break down and use any of the extra nutrients. It's better to put them in the ground the year before you plant on top, let the microbes break down the fish naturally, easy for the plants to absorb nutrients.

[@TheAncient11545]

I did that with corn and the plants got so tall that they interfered with airplanes landing at the nearby airport.

[@shac9131]

​@@ScottMason-ss8ww It could be washed away by then especially in Florida. One could always put it in a blender

[@ScottMason-ss8ww]

@@shac9131 yeah, blending might help. There's a experiment on here somewhere where they put different things in the holes the fish heads came last because the plant couldn't break it down fast enough to benefit it, that's tomatoes though, dunno about other plants, makes sense though. Good old home made compost and teas take some beating imo. Happy growing, hope you're harvest is plentiful!

Tomatoes are weeds. They will grow anywhere. I was in a car wrecking yard one day when a rain storm blew in. I jumped in a nearby wrecked car and on the back seat was a half eaten hamburger.

This depends on the Ph of your soil (wood ash]! Don't automatically do this, test your soil first.

I used bone meal and our own worm compost in their holes last year. We are first and foremost cannabis growers and I will use pour off from our organic hydroponic grow to feed them with and mulch with the cannabis trim as it is full of nutrients. Happy tomatoes growing in hellish high plains of northern New Mexico. If we can them to grow here, think a climate like Uzbekistan, I think they can grow pretty much anywhere.

[@Pay-It_Forward]

very good & accurate video! I would recommend that gypsum be used with the bone meal & potash, to keep the Phosphate & Sulfate balanced. (Manganese & Boron) are also required for Calcium & phosphate assimilation. Calcium is required for the Auxin transport proteins, which transport Auxin into the fruit.

Your plants produce their own sugars. It is absolutely necessary for them. A little molasses in your feed water makes a great supplemental fetilizer.

Tums or the dollar store equivalent will help with the end rot as well. Egg shells are another big boost for calcium.Too much nitrogen also stops the plants ability to absorb calcium. Hope that helps somebody, and very nice video by the way.

[@stellamatutina3573]

I found that Stevia sugar worked best for me back in the day. Here is a little trick that anyone can give a go.. Find a one litre glass jar with a lid, make a hole in the lid, and insert a 2 ft piece of hemp rope through the hole like a wick, Put two tablespoons of Stevia sugar filled with warm water into the jar, then about 4 inches back, splice the stem of lets say a watermelon vine, only do this when the watermelon is the size of baseball, Then wrap some grafting tape around the hemp rope and stem.. Change the water once every two weeks. Do this to whatever plant you like..? But don't blame me if you need a 6m ladder to get your pawpaw's the size of footballs down from your tree..🤣🤣

Great information, new subscriber here

[@garnieross9958]

Blossom End Rot Is NOT caused by lack of calcium it is caused by irregular watering which can cause lack of calcium. Adding calcium will do nothing. Installing irrigation solves the problem.

[@alan30189]

Well, you’re entitled to be wrong, which you are, but only partly. It’s a given that tomatoes need to be watered on a consistent basis, especially during period of drought. Without adequate water, the calcium cannot get it into the plant during its growing season, but if you don’t have adequate calcium, no matter how much you water them, you’re going to get blossom and rot. If the plants aren’t watered adequately, then the calcium is not going to get into the developing plant enough. I found the following on the Internet, from the University of Michigan: “Blossom-end rot is caused by insufficient calcium in the tissue of the tomato. Calcium is taken up into the plant through the roots, however, it settles in one part of the plant. This means that the rot can occur even when there is an ample supply of calcium in the soil, stems or leaves. Actively growing parts of the plant such as developing tomatoes must have a continuous supply of calcium to prevent these spots from developing.” Also, it’s not necessary to install an irrigation system, unless you are gone a lot. Just be sure your plants are watered every week. As my plants get bigger, I give them 1 gallon of water each week and adjust that if it rains a lot. In addition, mulch around your plants, so the soil does not get dried out. So many people plant in the dirt, then they don’t mulch. The result is a lower level of success.

Pulverized egg shells do more than bon meal. Don’t forget epsom salts!

Epsom salt provides Magnesium not Calcium. But repels slugs.

[@bennym1956]

Pulverized egg shells take a year or 2 to breakdown.

[@doncook3584]

False it takes years with a Y to break down even finely ground egg shells. Put a roughly 1/4 inch piece in your soil and mark location. You’ll see it year after year turns a sick yellow but adds zero to your nutrient bank.

[@_JimmyBeGood]

There are a thousand videos here that say do the bone meal or fish meal and a thousand that say don’t. Obviously we don’t understand plant science like we think we do.

[@loutondacoast]

In the section about keeping the plants/leaves dry while watering towards the end of video, here is an easier way without having to go around burying plastic tubs in the ground and makes a good way to retain fertilizer and additives for each plant. Dig a reasonably deep hole where each plant is to be planted and throw in your fertilizer, pot ash and whatever else you think will make the plant more healthy. With the soil you have left over from the hole and back filling, make a volcano type/looking border by raking back in to the edge of the hole leaving a gap from the stem of the plant of around 1.5'/50cm, and walls of around 6"/15cm in height. It doesn't have to be exact. If you haven't got enough soil to achieve this well like structure, just dig some from between the plants. Now for watering, cut a length of ordinary garden hose about 1ft/30cm with a normal click on attachment secured. On the other end a kitchen towel or any cloth about the same size or longer(doesn't have to be exact) doubled over once or twice(this will be determined by your water pressure and you will probably will have to make adjustments along the way) and taped secularly after rapping around the end of the hose, leaving it looking like a bag attached. This will restrict the flow more evenly and stop splashing of water onto the plants. It also means you can water at any time of the day even if it is windy. You can control the flow or stop it completely by bending/crimping the hose. Just fill your little volcano right to the top with water. If you are planting your tomatoes in a row and the soil has good drainage start at one end filling each well to the top and work your way right through to the other end. Now go back and do the same thing, each well should have drained away by then. This will ensure each plant receives adequate water, they like water, but not too much. If the soil drainage is poor you can water early morning and just before sunset, twice a day in other words. Hope this was helpful to all you TGE (tomato growing enthusiasts).
