Planting tomatoes in the ground is the most important and exciting moment of the season. What you put in the planting hole will determine whether your tomato plant will be vigorous and productive or remain stunted.
In this video, you'll learn how to properly prepare the soil for your vegetable garden and orchard so that your tomatoes will delight you with a bountiful harvest. We'll discuss what to add to the hole when planting tomatoes in the ground or greenhouse: ash, compost, humus, eggshells, and fish meal—each of these components plays a role in root health and the overall viability of the plant. We'll also examine common mistakes made when planting seedlings that can prevent even the most robust plants from producing a harvest.
Interestingly, many gardeners don't know this: tomatoes grown in well-structured soil with the right balance of phosphorus, potassium, and calcium are significantly more resistant to diseases, including blossom-end rot. This isn't just about "top dressing," but about a holistic system of nutrition and care. In this video, you'll find simple gardening tips, clear and without unnecessary "science," on how to give seedlings a soft start so you can harvest delicious tomatoes from your garden by fall, not just from photos online.
In this video, I share my golden formula for planting tomatoes: wood ash, superphosphate, and organic matter—three key components for a healthy start.
We'll cover in detail:
• what to put in the hole when planting tomato seedlings;
• why ash, superphosphate, and compost are needed;
• popular myths—fish, shells, bread, nettles;
• dangerous mistakes that ruin roots;
• three universal recipes for filling holes.
I'll share lots of practical tips from my 25 years of tomato growing experience: how to avoid blossom-end rot, why you shouldn't add fresh manure, and how to balance nutrition without harming seedlings. #tomatoes #plantingtomatoes #garden #seedlings #tomatoinground
