🍅Insider Secrets to Big Juicy Tomatoes

from Mountain Gardener with Ken & Lisa · host Ken Lain

Hey gardeners, Ken Lain here! Want sweet, juicy tomatoes and flavorful herbs?   It starts with the soil. While manure is good, it's not enough. Remember N-P-K: you need phosphorus (the middle number) for fruits and roots. I sprinkle super phosphate under my tomato plants for a game-changing harvest.   Use Aqua Boost polymer crystals to prevent tough skin and cracking, which is especially crucial in our arid climate. They regulate moisture, ensuring consistent hydration.   And don't forget calcium! Our alkaline soils can cause deficiencies, leading to blossom end rot. That's why I created Watters Fruit and Vegetable Food (6-4-4-7), packed with calcium for bigger, tastier produce.   Follow these tips for a truly delicious and successful garden!   Subscribe for The Mountain Gardener updates!   🍅Ken Lain, The Mountain Gardener   #WattersGardenCenter, #TheMountain Gardener, #GardeningTips, #KenLain, #VegetableGardeningTips, #TomatoGrowing, #SoilHealth, #Fertilizer,
