Organic Tomato Gardening

By admin

Visualize sinking your teeth into a home picked, wonderfully ripe, delicious and organically grown tomato, with the juice running down your chin. Yummy!

Through organic tomato gardening, you can say goodbye to those shop-bought tomatoes with tough skins, and tasteless, pale flesh. When tomatoes are home grown without chemicals and are naturally ripened, it is easy to pluck a tomato off your plant and eat it without even washing it to get rid of chemical compounds.

In recent times everyone is becoming increasingly aware and concerned about the importance of their health and wellbeing. As a result of this global change in awareness, more and more people right around the world are selecting to explore the option of growing their own organic veg and fruits, including organic tomato gardening. Tomatoes will grow in virtually any kind of soil and after the frosts are over.

Organic tomato gardening in your back garden is incredibly straightforward:

First decide where you want to place your tomato bed, ensuring it is in a sunny spot and away from trees and shrubs, which tend to rob the soil of the nutrients you need for your plants. Tomatoes like 6 to 8 hours of sun every day.

Second, dig over the soil and apply some well rotted compost and manure. If you don’t curently have any on hand, you can purchase bags of compost and manure from your Garden Nursery. Rake over your garden bed and leave for a week or so.

Third is to decide which variety of tomato you want to grow. The small cocktail ones that do well in garden containers, or the plum shaped ones, or maybe even the big beefsteak types. There are plenty of varieties to choose from that are suitable for organic tomato gardening.

Additionally, you’ll need some garden stakes to support your plants as they grow. You can grow from seed or buy seedlings which will save you some time – that’s what I like to do.

Right after going to your Garden Nursery to select the seedlings you need for your organic tomato gardening, the fourth step is to plant them out, sticking to the directions that come with the container. Usually you would plant your tomatoes about two to two and a half feet apart and hammer in a stake alongside to support your plant as they grow heavy and laden with fruit.

Almost done – right now you need to water your plants in well, then stand back and admire your handiwork.

Be sure you keep the ground moist although not soggy and finally when the plants are about six weeks old, it’s a good time to then add cow tea.

This is produced by putting about a quarter of a bucketful of cow manure into an old used bucket, fill it up with water, stir and leave to “brew” for a week or two. Pour off about a quarter of the ‘tea’ right into a watering can, fill up with water and apply to the tomatoes.

You will be amazed at how well your tomatoes will love cow tea and respond. Stand back and await your first batch of organic tomatoes to ripen. Save the rest of the cow tea to apply again in another two to three weeks, always diluting it, or water it into other garden beds.

My personal favorite tomato recipe is to toast some bread, spread with butter, add some slices of tomato and some freshly chopped basil. Season with some salt and pepper. Enjoy – this is simply scrumptious! Nothing beats the fresh, full flavor of home grown tomatoes from organic tomato gardening.
