You need to prepare a tomato planting hole deeper than normal. Once you put the 7 things into the hole, cover them up with about 1 or 2 inches of soil to make sure the roots are not touching these things directly.
Then remove the two lower leaves and put the seedling in. Make sure the hole is deeper than the original seedling container.
Fill the hole with soil up to the second lower leaf node as shown in the image with the arrow pointing to it and create a little hill, so when you water them, the water won’t touch the seedling.

So, how do you get the best-tasting tomatoes in the block, you asked. The key is by adding these seven things to the planting hole.
You will give the plant the right amount of fertilizer once and then forget about it until it is time to harvest them. You will be amazed at how tasty and juicy the tomato is, and you can compare it with a store-bought one to make sure.
1. Eggshell
Every time I cook an egg, I collect the eggshells. The eggshell is an excellent calcium source, which is an essential mineral for growing tomatoes.
I put about 3 to 4 eggshells in the planting hole, and you can also sprinkle crumbled eggshells around the little seedling to prevent cutworms.
2. Aspirin
There has been lots of research done on the use of aspirin for growing tomatoes. I am a believer in this. Aspirin will help tomato plants to increase their immune system and fight multiple plant diseases like blight.
I always put 2 aspirin tablets per plant in the planting hole. I use one that has a 325 mg dosage per tablet.
Also, spray the seedling with the aspirin solution before you transplant them.
Here is how to make aspirin solution: add 1 tablet to a gallon of water, give it a good shake, then use a spray bottle to spray tomato seedlings a couple of days before transplanting them to the garden.
3. Bone meal
Bone meal is an excellent source of calcium and phosphorus. It is an essential organic matter to help tomato plant has a good root system and produce bountiful quality fruit. I put about 1/2 cup of bone meal per planting hole.
4. Fish
Most of the gardeners use the fish heads for this. But I have great success by using smelt fish, shrimp shell, fish scrape, and just about any unsalted raw seafood or freshwater fish.
I don’t get access to any fish head supply, as I live far from the coast or any fishery, but frozen smelt fish are the cheapest I can find, and there is a lot in one package, enough for up to around 20 tomato plants.
If you do use frozen fish, make sure you thaw them first. Fish has lots of trace amounts of nitrogen, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and other essential minerals.
5. Banana Peel
I freeze banana peels in a large ziplock bag, and I thaw them whenever I am ready to use them in the garden. I put two banana peels per planting hole.
Banana peel is an excellent source of phosphorus which is essential for growing tomatoes. Sometimes I add some old and overly ripe bananas that I don’t have time to turn into banana bread.
6. Epsom Salts
An excellent source of magnesium helps tomato plants that suffer from magnesium deficiency. One tablespoon is enough per plant.
7. Multivitamin / Calcium tablet
One spring, I happen to have some old and expired multivitamins and calcium tablets. So instead of tossing them into the trash, I added 1 tablet per plant and I was amazed by the results. My tomato plants were growing beautifully and had a fantastic yield. Since then, I always add multivitamins and calcium tablets to the tomato planting hole. I recommend the regular tablet or capsules, not the gummy ones.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO BEFORE PUTTING TOMATO PLANTS IN THE HOLE
You need to prepare the tomato planting hole quite a bit deeper than normal. Once you put these 7 things into the hole, cover them with about 1 or 2 inches of soil to make sure the roots are not touching them directly.
Remove the two lower leaves then put the seedling on, and make sure the hole is deeper than the original seedling container.

HOW TO WATER TOMATO PLANT WITH EPSOM SALT SOLUTION
Once you transplant the tomato seedling, soak the soil thoroughly with water. Tomato likes to have the right amount of water, but it doesn’t like soggy or overly wet soil because tomato plants prefer well-draining soil.
The best time to water them is in the morning, so it has times to dry up before evening comes.
Make a solution with 1 tbsp Epsom salt into 1 gallon of water. Water around the base of the plant with this solution once a month.

Do you know you can get more tomato plants for free in a week? It will save your times, and you will get the same tomato variety you like.
By adding these 7 things on the planting hole, you will get the best tomatoes ever in size and yield. But also keep in mind, we can not control specific natural matter that affects the tomato harvest too, such as too much rain, early frost or hail storm.
We can not avoid these things, but you certainly can cover the plant to prevent any damage from early frost or hail storm with frost blanket or row cover.
If you live in a colder climate with a short growing season, you might end up with too many green tomatoes when the first frost is coming. Don’t worry. You can ripen green tomatoes indoors within a week or two.
Also, sometimes too much good things are not good either, it is better to get the soil tested. You might need to correct the soil ph first before adding some
Just a reminder if you live in the colder northern climates, that it’s time to give your tomatoes a little fertilizer to ensure that they remain productive until the end of the season. Tomatoes are heavy feeders so they appreciate a little fertilizer mid-season to keep them growing and producing heavily until frost. If you fertilize now, you give them a little boost so they set new blooms and will produce a last flush of tomatoes before the cold fall weather.
I like to give mine a mid-season side dressing of bat guano, each plants gets a Tablespoon or two. Because of the make up of guano, it is very beneficial for fruiting plants and trees. I find that it helps my tomatoes green up nicely and set lots of new fruit this time of year. My bat guano comes courtesy of my dad, who harvests it from a local church belfry every couple years. You can also water every 3-4 weeks with a fish/seaweed emulsion as tomatoes really love that as well. Since I have very poor soil in the front garden, I use a very weak fish emulsion each month on those tomatoes, about 25% strength, my favorite is Neptune's Harvest Organic Fish & Seaweed. Side dressing with comfrey leaves is also beneficial for tomatoes, you can add the chopped leaves at planting time and mid-season.
A great choice for gardeners without optimal sun, the small size of cherry tomatoes means that they can still come to full ripeness and taste within the growing season.
We've shown photos of this project earlier in the growing season. Here, the rhubarb, russian kale and potatoes are mature plants, the little tomato bed to the right is already covered against blight, and the back bed is ready to be covered in the fall in order to grow lettuces, mustard greens, spinach and gai lan over the winter. Once the rhubarb, Russian kale and potatoes are harvested, they'll be replaced by curly kale, broccoli, sprouting broccoli and collards, which all do well, uncovered, over our West Coast winters.
It looks scraggly, but everything seems to be growing well. And look at all those red cherry tomatoes!
Bethesda Maryland, July 2019. Costoluto Fiorentino tomato. Started inside in February. Planted outside early May. Harvested yesterday. A beautiful tomato with OK flavor but black end rot and attack birds make it more trouble than it's worth. I won't be growing this one again.
I'm an organic gardener. I use organic soil conditioners and fertilizers such as Leaf-Gro, lobster and crab shell compost, composted cow manure, greensand and kelp fertilizer. I use no chemical factory fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides or GMO seeds. Almost all of the plants in the garden this year were germinated by me from my 'seed bank'. If you grow something really boss try to save the seeds and share them with your neighbors.

Our ersatz "greenhouse" in later summer - the tomatoes kept dry against blight, everything ripening nicely.
As of this morning these tomato plants have sailed over their 6ft trellises and still have more than a month of growing season ahead. Wow! Compost-rich soil + Spray-N-Grow micronutrients + tall tomato varieties = GIANT plants. We are counting on our neighbors to share the tomato avalanche that’s just beginning!
Trying two different types of hydroponic systems and traditional soil medium to grow the same varieties of tomatoes in each.

I’ve finally planted my tomatoes and have a final list for the 2010 growing season. I was hoping to grow around 10 different types, but the wonderful selection got the best of me again. My final list includes 15 varieties (10 fewer than last year).
A greenhouse can not only extend the growing season for plants, but it’s much easier to start seeds for the spring garden and manage cuttings and starts taken from mature plants. It would be
This photo came from Dave and Madeline in Harleysville, Pennsylvania. Dave said "My wife and I have been using Spray-N-Grow for 10 years. Your product is the best; we have an abundant yield year after year. My tomato plants are taller than me!" Those tomatoes look delicious!

Earlier this week while tying up tomatoes I spotted a tiny green tomato. Oddly enough I posted last year on June 22 about spotting baby tomatoes. Seems that even though I started my tomatoes earlier last year, this warm spring has made my tomatoes very productive. It is the same variety of tomato as the first last year, it's a Zapotec Pleated Tomato.

Hybridized for maximum sweetness and impact of flavor, Sweet Baby Girl is a manageable, compact plant, but yields enormous numbers of intensely sweet fruits in long clusters. Very well suited for container growing on the patio or even indoors. Resistant to tobacco mosaic virus. Gardener recommended!
Bush (determinate)
Matures in 65 days. (open pollinated seeds)
This photo came from Cecil in Garland, Texas. She said “We raise our tomato and pepper plants from seed using the Perfect Blend Kit. I picked 578 from 15 plants.”
Kinda funny, isnt it?! This is one of my Early Girl Tomatoes. I purchase my plants at a local family owned/operated nursery, Needhams Nursery, in Mt Juliet, Tn.
Would you really like to grow vegetables but you just don't have the space?
Guess what? You can grow a lot of vegetables in a very small amount of space. They don't even all have to be in the same area. You can tuck vegetable plants in...
