What is the secret to growing tomatoes?

Tomato plants love the sun, so you'll get the best results by growing them somewhere with as much direct sunlight as possible. While tomato plants can survive on 6 hours of direct sun per day, they'll be happiest with 7–8 hours.

1. Aim For 7–8 Hours of Direct Sun

Tomato plants love the sun, so you’ll get the best results by growing them somewhere with as much direct sunlight as possible. While tomato plants can survive on 6 hours of direct sun per day, they’ll be happiest with 7–8 hours. Pick the brightest spot in your yard, and make sure it isn’t shaded for half the day by any trees, fences, or buildings. Don’t forget to use some stakes or tomato cages to keep your plants upright and facing the sun.

2. Test and Amend Your Soil

If you’re growing tomatoes in containers, we assure you that your potting soil is healthy and balanced if you buy it new from Eising. However, if you’re planting them in your garden bed, that soil might require some amendments after the long winter and last year’s growing season. A soil test will help you determine if any nutrients are lacking or if the pH level is slightly off. Slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6.5–6.8 is ideal! When tomato plants are growing at such impressive speeds, it makes sense that they need a lot of fuel to keep them going! Use a water-soluble fertilizer that is specifically formulated for tomatoes for your best chance at success. If your soil test identified sub-par nutrient levels, you could buy a formula that’s fortified with those necessary nutrients. Apply it once per week, and also consider using a transplant fertilizer to help ease the transition into the ground.
