Position: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot in your patch, preferably a place you haven’t grown tomatoes in the previous season.

Soil: Tomatoes are very nitrogen- hungry, so prepare the soil by integrating nitrogen-rich pea or broad bean plants into your soil as a green manure. Alternatively, mix compost and chook manure through your patch a fortnight prior to planting.

Soil pH Level: 5.5 - 7.5

How to Plant: Use a free draining soil well integrated with compost and slow release organie fertiliser or good quality potting mix when growing in pots. Propagate in seed tray and then transplant once conditions are sufficiently warm. It's recommended to pinch the bi-lateral growths to encourage stronger, fitter and better looking tomato plants.
