Directions:
1. Site Selection:
2. Tomatoes and peppers prefer full sun and soil that has good drainage.
3. Level the site as much as possible. You may have to build up one end or one side it does not have to be perfect.
4. They will grow on a hill but it is easier to manage and work with the plants as they grow.
5. Humus is our goal when we start composting. By providing the right environment for the organisms in the compost pile, it is possible to produce excellent compost. We usually want to organize and hasten Mother Nature's process. By knowing the optimum conditions of heat, moisture, air, and materials, we can speed up the composting process. Besides producing more good soil faster, making the compost faster creates heat, which will destroy plant diseases and weed seeds in the pile.
6. Bury them.
7. Bury tomato plants deeper than they come in the pot, all the way up to a few top leaves. Tomatoes are able to develop roots all along their stems. You can either dig a deeper hole or simply dig a shallow tunnel and lay the plant sideways. It will straighten up and grow toward the sun. Be careful not to drive your pole or cage into the stem.
8. Protect your Tomato plants from cut worms by sprinkling some wood ash around the base of the plants.
9. Tie them with twine to a sturdy sake that is at leasts eight inches in the ground.
