The ideal is to put the plants in the ground at the beginning of March, when there is no longer a risk of frost, because the tomatoes can suffer a lot.

It is best to plant them in fine soil with rich organic compost and/or organic fertilizer. Select a disease-resistant VF-1 hybrid variety or one that best suits your needs and climate zone. Try to carry out the transplant during cool hours, in the morning or at night, so that the plants do not experience a sudden change in temperature or environment during the process.

How to use: the “horsetail” plant can be used in its entirety (the root and the flower), submerging it in water for three days. Use approximately one liter of mash for 10 liters of water. This mixture will then be used to sprinkle the  fruits , but also the roots of the tomatoes, so that they become larger and juicier.

The effect will be visible during maturation. In addition, thanks to this natural compost, tomatoes will benefit from a necessary amount of phosphorus and potassium. Thus blooming and well nourished, you will enjoy a very fruitful harvest of beautiful, fresh and tasty tomatoes!
