Why are my tomato seedlings wilting?
My indoor tomato seedlings (four varieties, 2 heirloom, same conditions
as last year) started really slowly this year and now 4 weeks after germination seem to be slowly wilting--bottom leaves first, no spots or colour change, not falling over. Any ideas re what I can do? I used potting soil--is that bad? Would my storebought manure or homemade compost help? Thanks, Sarah |

Why are my tomato seedlings wilting?
If and when you transplant them, check the roots after they are removed from
their pots. If you see a lot of roots on the edge of the soil all tangled up, it would indicate that the tomatoes became 'pot bound' and suffered from lack of growing space. If that's the case, gently untangle the visible roots and replant them in a larger container.

It would be most helpful if you could describe more completely how you are trying to raise these seedlings.
