Soil pH Level 5.5–7.5
Position: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot in your patch, preferably a place you haven’t grown tomatoes in the previous season.
How to Plant: Propagate in seed trays. Tomatoes are suitable larger pots, but prefer an in-ground veggie patch. It’s recommended to pinch out the first side shoots to encourage plant growth.
Spacing: 40–60 cm
Depth: 0.5cm - 1cm
Companion Plants: Basil, Marigold
Approximate no. of seeds: 50
