Growing tips

Loosen soil, keep weed-free, water and fertilize regularly, avoid waterlogging, provide support, break out side shoots regularly. Sunny, humus, nutritious, moist, deep soil, protected from wind. (From N.L. Chrestensen). Tomatoes need warm temperatures to germinate between 20-25°C. After germination, place in cooler conditions (max. 20°C). Sowing before March may result in lack of light and poorer plant growth. When pricking out, set deeper to the cotyledons so that the plants can form new roots. Harden off before planting out. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and Tagetes (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plants. (From Biogartenbedarf).
