What soil is suitable for growing tomatoes?

Tomato Introduction

Tomato is a perennial or annual herb of the genus Solanaceae, 0.6-2 meters tall, with pinnate compound leaves or deeply pinnately lobed leaves, often with 3-7 flowers, and the berries are nearly spherical or oblate, fleshy and juicy.

What soil to use for growing tomatoes

Tomatoes have strong adaptability to soil and are not very demanding on the soil, but crop rotation is necessary, otherwise diseases are likely to occur. Tomatoes are most suitable for loam or sandy loam with good drainage, deep soil layer and rich in organic matter.

The most suitable soil for tomatoes is neutral to slightly acidic, with a pH of 6-6.5 for higher yields. However, cultivation in overly acidic soil is prone to nutrient deficiencies and ear rot, and growth is slow when cultivated in saline-alkali land.

Tomato nutrient soil preparation

You can prepare some river sand and ordinary garden soil as the nutrient soil for tomatoes. Mix them evenly in a ratio of 2:1 or 3:1 and you can use it. This kind of soil has high permeability and is not easy to accumulate water.
