Re: Share tips for growing tomatoes
@Khbab bhai it is necessary for all types of tomatoes that we plucked their flowers first time when they are young??.Morever,if the soil is rich in organic manure then there is still need to add NPK fertilizer etc. at the time of flowering.???

Re: Share tips for growing tomatoes
Tomatoes that i have planted this season are sweet million cherry, they are almost ready to go in their final position in Large containers 1 plant per container.
I will also stake them because they are indeterminate variety and can go upto 8 ft one or two plants i will regularly side shoot and train a single stem, right now im going to feed them after transplanting them with DAP for good root system, gradually as the fruits set i will either foliar spray them with VITAX brand: sulphate of potash or use a high potash slow release fertilizer for good yields..will update with the progress, wish me luck

Re: Share tips for growing tomatoes
Yes it can be replanted again in old container, just make sure to add lots of manure or compost prior to planting the seedling.. 12" or more (bigger the better) for cherry tomatoes...

Re: Share tips for growing tomatoes
Any particular feed you are giving them? like compost tea, liquid fertilizers?? these fruiting machines are heavy feeders and require diluted liquid fertilizer with every watering..
