Farmer Dean here, and I’m planting tomatoes today in my container. These are ones that have grown. I’ve lifted them so that they’re down there deep. I’ve got a hole dug. I’ve got to put in one of my hacks, about half a cup of eggshells. I’m going to put that right in there and cover that up with dirt.
Then we’re going to take the Epsom salts, which is another hack of mine. That’s for root growth, and that’s for the magnesium. Now all I have to do is one other thing, put companion plants in here to keep those darn horn worms off from the tomato plants.
Two companion plants that I’m putting in are:
- Basil, if I can get it out of the pot, and we’re just going to put that in here.
- Garlic, which also deters bugs.
So there’s only two more things to do:
- I’ve got to use my mulch. Got to have mulch in there so that we keep that moisture in there. I’m going to put at least an inch on them, maybe a little bit more.
- I’m going to water it in, but I’m also going to give it a shot of fertilizer. This is from Acro Thrive. It’s one of the many that you can buy. I like this one. I’m going to water this in really hard.
