10 tips for growing tomatoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Give the seedlings space\u00a0<\/strong>A big mistake is to plant tomatoes too close together. This can have a negative effect. When strengthening the seedlings, watch that they do not start to interfere with each other.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Sprinkle them with baking soda
    <\/strong>Baking soda can be used to reduce soil acidity. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of baking soda around the base of each plant. Be careful not to get the baking soda on the plant itself. Repeat sparingly.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Pruning plants
    <\/strong>Once a week, remove all shoots and the lower 15-30 cm of leaves. When pruning, it is important to use clean scissors that are sufficiently sharp.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Pest Control
    <\/strong>To protect against pests and attract beneficial insects, it is a good idea to use companion planting of marigold or watercress. Plant around tomatoes about 30-45 cm apart.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Epsom Salt<\/strong>\u00a0
    Dissolve 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt in 1 gallon of water. Use as a tomato waterer once a month. Apply around the roots of plants or as a foliar spray.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Coffee grounds Coffee grounds
    <\/strong>can be a source of nitrogen for soil enrichment. Add about 1\/2 cup to the top layer of soil every 2-4 weeks. This will prevent mold.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Eggshells
    <\/strong>Crush up a few eggshells and mix them into the soil. You can also sprinkle them around the base of the plants. This will provide your tomatoes with a slow-release source of calcium.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Mulching\u00a0<\/strong>
    Apply a layer of mulch to each plant. You can use straw, wood chips, or shredded leaves. To prevent rot, apply it about 5 cm from the stem.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Watering:<\/strong>\u00a0
    Watering tomatoes at the base and not on the leaves will prevent mold and keep the leaves dry and healthy. You can use a watering can or drip irrigation.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Basil against pests\u00a0<\/strong>
    This herb can become a natural pest repellent. To protect against pests, we plant about 30-45 cm from each plant. Basil acts as a natural repellent.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
