•Spacing ranges from 3 x 3m to 4 x 4m depending on variety.
•Plant seedlings at the same depth as they were in the nursery bag and water to settle the soil around the roots.
•Avoid shading any part of the tree especially the lower part.
•Inter-planting at least two cultivars is beneficial since most cultivars are cross-pollinated.

Tomato farming
•During compost making, the organic matter need to be covered to prevent leaching and volatilization of nutrients.
•Tomato is a heavy feeder and does well in soils with high organic content (manure)
•Based on the results of the soil analysis, prepare adequate compost for application.
•The compost should be broadcasted then worked into the soil (incorporated) preferably using a hoe.
•Manure/Compost should be applied 1-2 weeks before transplanting the tomato and incorporated into the soil.

How to boost tomato seedlings growth rate.

A good seedling gives a good yield every other things being equal. However, unattended seedlings would surely produce poor yield.

1. Organic manure.
In preparing your seed beds or nursery trays, it is expected that you already added dried old organic manure in small measure. As for direct seed bed sowing method, when your seedlings are 2 weeks old, you can add manure in form of paste in furrows in-between the seedling rows. The paste form of manure makes the liquid part of it to be easily absorbed into the soil & enhances its immediate effectiveness. If you can bury it slightly without affecting the seedlings position, it is even better.
