How To Grow Tomato - Climatic Requirements
Tomatoes are warm-season plants and should be planted only after
danger of frost has passed. Temperature is an important factor in
the production of tomatoes, which are particularly sensitive to low
night temperatures. Blossom drop can occur in early spring when
daytime temperatures are warm, but night temperatures fall below 55
degrees F as well as in summer, when days are above 90 degrees F
and nights above 76 degrees F.
How To Grow Tomato - Soil Requirements
Tomatoes can be grown on many different soil types, but a deep,
loamy soil, well-drained and supplied with organic matter and
nutrients is most suitable. As with most garden vegetables,
tomatoes grow best in a slightly acid soil with a pH of 6.2 to 6.8.
Use the best soil available to grow the tomato crop. Clay and sandy
soils can be improved by adding SoilSyrup to the soil. SoilSyrup will help reduce nutrient
imbalances, particularly with calcium and help control the blossom
end rot problem that occurs so frequently on tomatoes.
How To Grow Tomato - Fertilizer
Tomatoes respond well to fertilizer applications. Excess
nitrogen fertilizer can result in plants with extremely vigorous
vine growth but little fruit production, that's why it's best to
apply a balanced fertilizer like Algoflash. The first application of Algoflash should be applied to the soil about
2 weeks before planting. An additional side dressing of Algoflash
is desirable after the first cluster of flowers have set fruit.
A starter solution of Algoflash
should be used at planting time to insure proper fertilization
during the early growth stages of young plants. To make a starter
solution using, mix 3-4 oz of Algoflash in 10 gal of water. And
don't worry; Algoflash will never burn the root system, so it makes
the perfect starter solution.
Side dress tomato plants with Algoflash after the plants have started to set
fruit and 4 to 6 weeks thereafter throughout the growing
season.
How To Grow Tomato - Watering
It is important to make sure the tomatoes receive sufficient
water during the season. The soil should be soaked 6 to 8 inches
deep at 7-day intervals during the growing season and more often
during hot summer months.
Using AquaRocks and AquaSpikes is a perfect way to make sure your
tomato plants are receiving enough water without a lot of effort.
Simply mix AquaRocks into the soil at
planting time to improve root growth and keep the soil moist.
AquaRocks added to the soil will prove
to be a real asset in conserving soil moisture during July and
August.
Using AquaSpikes with your tomato
plants will ensure you're deep watering your tomato plants at the
root zone and help prevent week growth. AquaSpikes are incredibly
easy to use. You just screw them onto the top of old two-liter
plastic bottles, saw the bottom off the bottle, and then sink them
into the soil. Fill the bottle with water and liquid feed, and your
watering is done for the next few days or even longer. When used
with AquaRocks, one application can
keep your soil moist for weeks!
The sides and tip of AquaSpikes
contain holes for releasing water slowly into the soil. Sink them
into the soil just a little bit for quick watering of shallow
roots, or deeper for established plants, where surface watering
often has difficulty penetrating down to new roots! You can set as
many as you need around the plant, or just use one and refill it in
seconds with the hose as you "do the rounds" in the garden.
AquaSpikes won't over water your
tomato plants. They release water slowly, as the soil dries and
needs it. And talk about a built-in weed control, because you're
watering the roots of your tomato plants directly, it helps prevent
weed growth beside the tomato plant! You'll save lots of water as
well, because you won't lose a drop to evaporation or runoff!

How To Grow Tomato - Recommended Varieties
One of the most important aspects of learning how to grow
tomatoes is picking the right varieties of tomatoes to plant.
Choosing a variety that has proven to be a true performer should be
at the top of every gardener's list. Better Boy, Whopper,
Celebrity, and Mountain Pride are among some of the best
selections. Better Boy, Celebrity, and Whopper are VFN, which means
they carry resistance to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt, and
root-knot nematodes. It is best to experiment with several
varieties in order to find the ideal tomato for your taste
buds.
There are probably more tomato varieties available to the home
gardener than any other garden vegetable. We'll talk about a few of
the more common varieties here, but it's definitely a good idea to
talk to other local gardeners or visit your local garden center to
find out what other varieties do well in your area. When choosing
particular varieties, keep in mind the different ripening
periods.
Tomatoes are usually categorized as early, mid-season or late.
Another consideration is whether the tomato variety you choose is
determinate or indeterminate in growth habit. Determinate (D)
tomato plants grow to a certain height and then stop. They also
flower and set all their fruit within a relatively short period of
time. This is an advantage if the tomatoes are being grown
primarily for canning purposes. Indeterminate tomato plants grow,
flower, and set fruit over the entire growing season. Either type
will benefit tremendously from MegaGro to help boost flower and
fruit set.
Another characteristic to look for when choosing tomato
cultivars is disease resistance. Many cultivar names are followed
by one or more letters indicating resistance to Verticillium wilt
(V), Fusarium wilt (F), or nematodes (N). Disease resistance can be
an important consideration, especially if you have experienced
these problems with tomatoes in the past.
Early: Moreton Hybrid (V), Jet Star (VF),
Pik-Red (VF)(D), and Pilgrim (VF)(D).
Mid-season: Heinz 1350 (VF)(D), Better Boy
(VFN), Burpee(VF), Roma (VF)(D)(paste type), Floramerica (VF),
Celebrity (VFN)(D), Red Star (VFN), Market Pride (VF)(D), and
Mountain Delight (VF).
Late: Supersonic B (VF), Ramapo (VF),
Supersteak (VFN)(D), Mountain Pride (VF), Beefmaster (VFN). Yellow
and Orange: Jubilee, Sunray (F), Lemon Boy (VFN).
Large vine with small fruit (not suited to cage or
container culture): Small Red Cherry, Large Red Cherry,
Red Pear, Yellow Pear, Small Fry, and Sweet 100.
Dwarf vine with medium fruit: Patio, Pixie.
Dwarf vine with small fruit: Tiny Tim, Presto, Baxter's Bush
Cherry.
How To Grow Tomato - Establishing the Plants
Due to their long growing season and temperature requirements,
it's best to set tomatoes as transplants in northern climates.
Plants may be transplanted any time after the last spring frost.
When purchasing tomato transplants, choose those with straight,
sturdy stems about the thickness of a pencil. They should have 4 to
6 young true leaves, no blossoms or fruit, and be free of insect
pests and diseases. Plants in individual containers or cell packs
experience little or no transplant shock and become established
quickly.
Tomato plants will develop roots along the stem
and may be set deeply at transplanting with the first set of leaves
near the soil surface. If transplants are in peat pots, remove the
rim of the pot or be sure the rim is below the soil surface, so
that the soil ball will not dry out. A starter solution of Algoflash should be applied at planting
time.
Tomatoes grown unstaked are usually planted 3 feet apart in rows
5 feet apart. Plants to be staked are planted 2 feet apart in rows
3 to 4 feet apart. Plants to be caged are planted 30 to 36 inches
apart. Stakes and cages should be placed at planting time or soon
after so as to not disturb the roots. Unstaked plants should be
mulched with clean straw, black plastic or some other suitable
material to keep the fruit off the ground and prevent rotting.
Where space is limited or soil conditions poor, tomato plants
can be grown in containers using a disease-free planting mix. Most
any container is suitable as long as drainage is provided. Pay
special attention to water and fertilizer needs of container-grown
tomato plants. SoilSyrup, AquaRocks and Algoflash are great helpers when growing
tomato plants in containers.
How To Grow Tomato - Cultural Practices
Once the tomato plants are established, using SoilSyrup will conserve moisture and watering
with AquaSpikes will suppress weed
growth. If weeds do appear, they may be pulled by hand or removed
by shallow cultivation. An even moisture supply is important;
especially once the tomato fruits begin to develop. Using AquaRocks will maintain the even moisture
needed for growing tomatoes. If the soil becomes too dry,
blossom-end rot can be a problem. If too much water is applied at
one time, ripening fruit may split.
Staked plants are usually pruned to a single or double stem and
periodically tied loosely to the stake with soft twine. Pruning is
accomplished by removing all the branches or "suckers" that grow
from the leaf axils, leaving only the main stem or the main stem
and one additional branch near the base. Unsupported and caged
tomatoes may be left to branch normally. Staked and pruned tomatoes
produce fewer but larger fruit than caged or unsupported
plants.
If the transplant is tall and leggy at time of planting, the
trench planting method should be used. To trench plant a tomato
plant, dig a horizontal trench rather than a hole for each plant.
Next, remove all of the leaves from the plant except the top leaf
cluster (4 to 5 leaves). Then lay the plant on its side in the
trench and cover the root system and bare stem up to the top leaf
cluster with 2 to 3 inches of soil. Firm the soil over the plant.
Be sure not to press the soil too firmly around the stem where it
comes out of the soil, as the stem may break.
Tomato plants should be staked or caged shortly
after planting. Generally, staking produces larger tomatoes but
less quantity than caging. A common 6-ft tomato stake may be
purchased from many garden centers. The stake should be driven in
the soil about one ft deep, 3 to 5 inches from the plant. Be sure
to avoid driving the stake on the root side of plants that have
been trench planted. Trench planted tomatoes should be staked
immediately after planting while the location of the buried stem is
fresh in mind. Use a strip of cloth, nylon stocking, or heavy
string to tie the plant to the stake.
Tomato cages may be made by using a 5 1/2 foot length of
concrete reinforcing wire or pasture wire. The wire will form a
circle 18 to 20 inches in diameter. The bottom horizontal ring of
the wire cage should be cut off so that the ends can be pushed into
the ground. After setting the cage in place over the tomato plant,
drive 2 or 3 stakes around the outside edge of the cage to give it
extra support.
