How to plant tomatoes for success: Crucial steps you can take.

Tips, Tricks

1. What's the best temperature for tomatoes?
2. I wish there was a video for indoor (apartment) gardening. Spent the summer trying to get my own little garden and had spent so much money only to have many of them to die or no fruit.
3. Hate to tell you this boobie, but, that isn't a spade.
4. you should only till the first year to get rid of rocks and roots, after that you're just killing the worms. dump wood chips and lawn clippings water and cover with a tarp over the winter so weeds can't grow. tilling every year really depletes the soil nutrients and you end up having to add way more soil amendments. also if you make smaller cages you could probably have 10 tomatoe plants in that same space
5. I always throw a small handful of Epsom salt into the hole where I'll be planting my tomatoes.  This gives the tomatoes easy access to magnesium.  That little extra magnesium boost does great things for tomatoes.  Keep in mind, though I'm grown up, I have child like hands, so when I say a small handful ... perhaps a quarter of a handful for you!  I also put a little bit of worm castings in the bottom that's been mixed with a bit of your regular soil mix.  AND will top dress around each plant maybe once or twice a summer, depending on the growing season.  I live in Colorado so, sometimes we can grow through October and sometimes, that first bad frost will come right at the beginning of September.  We just never know what we'll get.  But that would be my advice.  Epsom salt and worm castings.  You can get Epsom salt at any drug store or around the pharmacy at the grocery.  You can buy a small bag of worm castings at most of the box stores or even online.  And for that, you can put in a full handful (I use two :P). 
   
   I love tomatoes and mine rarely make it indoors either. Nom nom nom!!
6. Have you tried to grow tomatoes or other veggies hydroponically? I have watched several videos here on YouTube about hydroponics and one person in particular is the MHPGardner. He has done a lot of informative videos on gardening like you have done on wood working. It also saves on your water bill and the cost is very low in most cases.
7. I had no idea you have a second channel! been a subscriber of wwmm for years. you just got a new sub.
8. the best tip I can give for tomato growing is something Steve touched on: don't water tomatoes so often. they thrive in hot conditions. granted, they do benefit from watering for the first week or until they seem to be fully rooted in your garden.
9. In my home country I had a garden with all sort of vegetables, even lettuce. I also grew a lot of tomato and what I did was that whenever I saw a brown leave or a leave turning brown I just pulled that leave off the plant because as I understand brown leaves are dead leaves and they kill the plant little by little. This trick always worked for me.
10. Idea for a wwmm video, a home made composter, they can be made from any cheap wood even if it rots down at the end of the cycle, somewhere to recycle all your wasted food and some of your grass clippings if applicable. It's easy to start with horse manure - a resource that is easily available from farms, allotments etc, your local allotment dude will probably give you a bucket for nothing as it can be a nuisance to dispose of anyway. Once the bacteria start working it'll quickly break down food waste so the next year you have a supply of food for your soil.
11. Thanks for your video.
12. I have really good luck when I just put a few pieces of news paper around the stem of the plant after they are pruned. The combination prevents spores and disease from splashing up onto the leaves where it can spread and lower the yield or kill the plant.
13. The best way I know how to water tomato plants in super hot climates and keep the actual plants dry... Is by getting an inch to inch and a half pvc pipe...pounding it deep into the soil near the roots of the tomato plant... then cutting off the pipe at a height that makes it easy to pour water and tea compost down so that only the roots and deep soil stay well watered. This way the plants leaves remain as dry as nature will let them be. But the roots wont dry out or rot.
14. I want to know how they turned out ??????
15. Steve,My children and I have made our first garden this year. To keep them mosist spectialy our tomatoe plants we put hay down around them. Watered them twice a week and this year we have had over three bucket full of cherry and sweet tomatoes along with bell pepers.
16. It seems like a waste of time to till the whole garden if you are only going to plant in 5 specific spots. Also, for the same reason, you are buying more compost than you need since you spread it everywhere. I like to plant my tomatoes in five gallon buckets with no bottoms, filling the buckets almost all the way to the top. That way, I can use fresh soil every year, and it can be whatever mix I want. Using fresh soil helps prevent soil pathogens and fungi from the previous year from infecting my new crop. And finally, tomatoes don't like to get their leaves wet (which promotes disease), so by using a bucket, I can pour water into the bucket and not get the leaves wet. It saves on water, too, since every drop of water goes into the root zone of the plant.
17. Srry but rite now im only planting beans next will b the tomatoes...I LOVE GARDENING💛💙💜💚❤💗💓💕💖💞💘💌💋💋💋💋
18. That space you have cries out for the use of raised beds. A little bit of bother to set up but much more efficient in the long run - avoids compaction from walking; less digging,  requires less compost, etc.
19. Willow tree water will prevent transplant shock and give them a boost. Just get a willow tree cutting cut it up into little pieces and put it in a 5 gallon bucket of water, let it "brew" for a day or two and water them with that. I always make it a couple days before planting so it can be their first watering.
20. How big around did you make you cages
