I need the best soil for tomatoes in pots
"geronimo" wrote in message
... Miracle Gro potting soil isn't very sandy at all, its mostly dark humus. that's why I thought it might be good to add some sand and help drainage. It gets up to about 98 deg here in summer. THe galvanized container gets full sun. By the end of June all tomatoes will start dying from the heat (for everybody). So maybe some partial shade would help? ALso I will definitely mulch it thickly and water every day this year. thanks, geronimo Sand will not address the heat issue. You need to find a way to shade THE POTS, but not THE PLANTS. The simplest way would be to set up a screen using burlap, available in rolls at real garden centers. Not pretty, but cheap and easy to manage. Another way would be to put the plants where the pots will be shaded by low shrubs, patio furniture, etc. |
