The homegrown TOMATOES are so delicious, and when you pick them fresh and eat, the delightful taste you get is just unmatchable.
To get a bumper harvest of large and tasty tomatoes, put these things in the hole before planting it!
1. Baking Soda
It works and is really a good trick if you want sweeter tomatoes. Simply sprinkle a small amount of baking soda around the base of your tomato plants. The baking soda will be absorbed into the soil and lower the acidity levels, thus, giving you tomatoes that are more sweet than tart.
2. Fish heads
Fish heads have been used as a natural fertilizer in the garden for a long time. Their decay releases nitrogen, potassium, many essential trace elements, calcium and phosphorus. The only problem with burying fish heads is that critters may dig them up. To avoid this, bury deeply, at least a foot.
3. Aspirin
Drop 2-3 aspirin tablets in the hole either whole or ground; this is to boost plant immunity, it also helps to ward off diseases like blight and increases the yield. The salicylic acid, a compound in aspirin is the reason why it works.
4. Eggshells
Eggshells boost the calcium content in the soil. And just like us, Calcium is one of the important components that plant needs for growth. It also helps to prevent blossom end rot. Whether you’re planting tomatoes in the garden bed or containers, you can always put eggshells before planting.
5. Epsom Salt
Tomatoes suffer from magnesium deficiency that is why it’s a good idea to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt while transplanting the seedling in the bottom of the planting hole. Cover this with a thin layer of soil; this is to make sure that roots are not directly touching Epsom salt.
6. Kelp Meal
Kelp meal provides complete nutrients for plants, the addition of kelp gives tomatoes a turbo boosted start. One cup-full of kelp meal is adequate for the plant at the time of planting.
7. Bone Meal
Similar to kelp meal, bone meal is also a good addition to the tomato hole. A handful of bone meal is essential for growing quality tomatoes since it provides the much-needed phosphorus to the plant which is one of the most vital components for healthy tomato growth.
8. Used coffee grounds or tea
Add well-composted coffee grounds or used tea leaves to the planting hole when transplanting tomato seedlings to improve soil composition and provide a source of slow-release nutrients to your plants. It is an excellent source of fertilizer and can be used even as a mulch.

Watching this brought back memories of my dad planting his garden. Seeing a few of these tips he used.
I toss eggshells and coffee grounds in an old cake pan in the oven. After baking something, I crush the shells and put the shells/coffee grounds through my Waring blender to pulverize the shells and mix everything. I add this to all my plantings.
The fish heads need to stick out a bit so they can see how the tomatoes look.
You made me think of the old medieval dish known as Stargazey Pie 😅 If you've never heard of it, look it up! 😂
So they can watch the raccoon coming to dig them and the plant up.
Dad and I would always go fishing and catch a whole bunch of sunfish always had 6' foot tomato plants.. amazing
i use cans of sardines if I can't go fishing.
Thanks
Epsom Salts can be dissolved in a water can and applied after planting. You can do it on a regular basis , maybe every ten days . Just add two tablespoons in a two gallon watering can with a shower head and fill the can using a garden hose with a whatchmacallit on the end of the hose ,the pressure will dissolve the Epsom salts , just sprinkle it directly on the tomato plant . I used to do it in the evening when the sun was going down so it wouldn’t burn the plant .
Thank you❤
Friend of mine goes up to local seafood place and gets all the fish guts he wants. Digs a nice hole and drops them in.. some of the most fertile ground you’ve ever seen!! The tomatoes are beautiful!!!
Fish have been used as fertilizer for over two hundred years. Your right they have to be buried deep or you will have every cat , raccoon and possum in the neighborhood digging up your garden .
I usually go to a dollar store and buy cans of sardines in water 1 can in each hole with a hand full of bone meal and I have a tomato jungle
Great idea!!! Thanks ❤
Nice video and thank you for sharing.
Very quickly..Is it cooked or fresh iced fish?
Also do I need to use all the combination of aspirin,fish head etc
Aspirin needs to be boiled for 10 mins to release its goodness or just use bark of the white willow.
Are these for planning tomatoes only or other vegetables also
Great Content !
Nice advice
I use sardines
I don't know where to get some of the ingredients
BAKING SODA RAISES PH LEVELS IN SOIL!!!
Is that good or bad??
Can you put a few of these items all at a time or separate..
Just the one you have.
Should we put all 8 ingredients one time!
did you get a reply?
I would definitely say that's Overkill
My question too
Perhaps in very small quantities, or mix them all up first! I’m just about to try that. I also add seaweed and all the other things including a nice sea bass head my son caught yesterday
@@geoffol i think he clicked all keys..😅
I used all of that except the fish heads and i used manure
You mean you apply all ingredients in the planting holes at same time?
How's it looking now?
Worm castings
Hi and thank you God bless
Now I will not be fish heads I be feeding tomatoes.
do you ever add bone meal to your tomatoes?
Every person has a opinion on how to plant tomatoes. Tomatoes somehow produce a crop regardless of the different things people put in the planting hole . Why not do a soil test so you won’t be shooting in the dark
Kindly reapet the recipe sor
How about banana peels?
They work well if you bury them at the base.
I use mosquito manure.😉
@@geoffol
Hahahahahha
How much is a 50Lb bag??? Does Tractor Supply carry Misquoto poop???
@@ronmounts8075
😅👍
be sure to water the leephs because they drink thru their leafs
Tomatoes do not need much nitrogen. At least half of this is passé info.
Look up other, more up to date info to be sure what you need to do. Tomatoes need less nitrogen and more of other two minerals.
You forgot the blood meal and banana
yea, potassium deficiency is no joke, i lost a whole grown plant cuz i wasnt aware of that
They mentioned bone meal
Has anyone tried any of these?
@@annefricker8474 No. They are not necessary if you have decent soil and good quality fertilizer.
I wish to see your tomatoes from using this combination
Of fertilizer. Not just talking !
It helps en you pee on the plant
build up you soil and these additives wont even be needed
While true, these also help build up the soil. At least some of these…
Fish heads do nothing except attract pest that will dig up your tomatos
That is not true it's a natural fertilizer all the way back to the Indian days I don't know did they get it wrong😅
Most of these are old wives tales👎
