How to plant tomato plants without Tilling your soil

Sunday, August 8, 2010

It's spring, and you know how many people want to find themselves raise some local tomatoes at home. There are basically two ways to do so. One way is to plant the plants directly into the ground. Another possibility is to design your tomato plants in every work of various types of containers for this purpose.

This article will specifically consider the possibility of planting the plants directly into the ground and if you work on your land with aTiller machine or not.

Most people tend to think that when you go to the garden have a garden of any kind, it is better to buy or rent or borrow a tiller and till the soil in the area you want. Many people took this concept over the years, but recently has become controversial. There are some farmers who are now saying that your tillage before planting rights is not a good idea and that in factnot damage the soil structure.

Many of us do not have the time or money for tiller and up to a part of our yard. As we face this situation if we do not cultivate, but they worked very hard, dense and soil compaction do?

The answer is relatively simple and is what I used successfully. What you can do is dig a hole with a shovel, where you want to plant your tomatoes. Make the hole about 15 cmand everywhere around 18-24 cm depth. The hole in the ground, in essence, the "plate" for your plant.

So what you have to do is fill the hole with a planting mix that you create. What I did is to blend a mixture of loam, peat, organic humus used, and vermiculite. All these items can be purchased at your local hardware store. You can add back some of the original soil mix if you like, but make sure your original content in your soil mix is less Than50 percent. If you prefer, it is perfectly acceptable to all your basic original set elsewhere in your landscape and fill the hole completely with your new mix.

Fill the hole with the mix flush with the soil and plant the tomato plants and planting in the middle. At this point it is useful to some mulch around the plant can cover all your mix of plants made. I prefer a black mulch from my local hardware store to use purchased. The reason is that tomato plantRoots in warm soil and litter black absorbs the sun and help your mix of new plants to warm faster. If the ground is hot, the tomato plants at a faster pace that is growing when the ground is cold.

So this is how your tomato plants in the soil without plowing and retain the best economic results of a loose soil for your tomato plant.
