Water young tomatoe plants
« on: March 09, 2012, 09:29 »
My tomato plants are now 3 weeks old and seem to be going ok.  I'm just not sure how much and how often to water them, can anyone please give me some advice on this as I don't want to drown them.

Just keep them moist, don't let them dry out.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

if your worried about overwatering yout toms, put them in a saucer of water, for about 10 minutes and then take it out again.

As said above, dont ever let them dry out and put them into a tray of water for a while until you can see the damp surface. When planting them out ino the final pot i always give each one a pint of water and leave them for a week. Meant to encourage roots to go in search of water and establish quicker

10 minutes is unlikely to be enough - make it 30-40 minutes then drain well.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
