When growing tomatoes outdoors, you should choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil to give them the best chance of healthy growth. Tomatoes are best suited to warm temperatures and a great amount of sunlight, so choosing a good planting location is essential. Tomatoes grown outdoors can be more susceptible to blight and other diseases as opposed to indoor varieties. So, choosing plants from our blight-resistant tomato plants can prevent your crops from being affected.
Tomato plants will need a good amount of water—enough to keep the soil moist but not so much that it becomes soggy. To help keep the soil moist, adding a mulch made of natural matter is highly beneficial as well as being a good way to prevent weeds. They are also heavy feeders, so will benefit from a high-potash fertiliser, such as D.T. Brown’s Tomato Fertiliser and Biostimulant No 7 or well-rotted manure to give them the nutrients they need.
