Nothing beats the satisfaction of plucking ripe, homegrown tomatoes straight from your raised beds. Join us on this sunny morning at Frank Liske Park as we demonstrate simple techniques for maximizing your tomato yield in raised bed and container setups.
Why Raised Beds Work Wonders for Tomatoes
- Better Drainage & Aeration: Roots stay healthy and vigorous.
- Warmer Soil: Early planting and extended harvest seasons.
- Pest Control: Easier to install row covers and barriers.
Quick Tips from the Field
- Choose the Right Variety: Cherry and patio tomatoes are container-friendly.
- Support Your Plants: Use cages or trellises to prevent sprawling.
- Mulch Well: Retains moisture and suppresses weeds.
- Feed Frequently: A balanced, organic tomato fertilizer every 2–3 weeks keeps blossoms blooming and fruits swelling.
