The same as you do in soil
with seeds and dirt
tomato
no, tomatoes grow on plants about 5foot tall which have small yellow flowers that die off to grow a tomato.
yes i tryed it trust me
I have given a healthy dose of the regular Miracle Grow to my new tomato plants and the leaves and stalks are strong, thick and green, but I have no buds. I have a feeling that all of the nutrients are going to the leaves, but not to the buds/tomatoes.
Every bloom on a tomato plant CAN in fact produce a tomato. I polinate my plants by going from bloom to bloom and "tickling" them. My wife laughs at me for "fondling" my plants, but it works!
too much watering in the beginning.
To make the plant grow faster?
They can grow either way: in small clusters or singly. It also depends on the type of tomato. Cherry tomatoes grow in small clusters.
You can encourage tomato plants to set fruit rather than over grow by making sure the plants are getting the right temperature. Tomato plants should be set in an area where the daytime temperatures are under 80 degrees F and the night time temperatures do not fall below 55 degrees F.
Tomato plants are not picky eaters. However if you want to grow the biggest, tastiest tomatoes then you will want to use a fertilizer specifically formulated for tomatoes. Espoma makes a product called Tomato-tone that has been tested by universities as an outstanding tomato fertilizer.
There is seldom a need to prune tomato plants. I've grown them for decades and never bothered. Other than removing dead or damaged parts of the plant, I just let them grow.
