Tomato Planting
I wonder if people go to any trouble in preparing a mix of compost etc for putting their tomatoes in when they plant out in to 10" pots or whatever. The reason that I ask is that I used that Verve rubbish compost this year for some of my pots and I noticed that some of them retained much more water that others. I have a dripper system and some were having standing water on the surface - others weren't. When I investigated it was the worst of the Verve which was retaining much more water. Some of those are now developing the stalk splitting and cracking and the yellow leaves which I understand can be caused indirectly by over watering. Of course I need not drip water them every day - but I would rather prepare the same compost/sand/vermiculite mixture or whatever others recommend this next year. Judith (not in France) |
