1. Plant them deep
Put the plant in the ground 2/3 of the plant. It might sound weird, but tomatoes are a bit different from other plants. When the plant is well buried in the earth, the roots develop better, especially on the stem. As the tomato plant will be better established, it will be much stronger and more able to produce robust fruits. Also remember to space two plants sufficiently between them.
2. Plant them on the side
If you can't dig deep because the soil is too hard, (or if you don't want to), plant the tomato on the side. Tilt it slightly to form an angle of about 45 °. Just make sure the foot is buried 15cm deep. It will thus make new roots on this buried part.
3. Place them in the sun
Tomatoes love (love!) Light, especially direct sun at the best times of the day. It is therefore essential to plant them in a sunny place so that they can soak up the sun during their development.

6. Protect them from slugs
To protect young plants from slugs, it is recommended to crush eggshells or spread coffee grounds on the ground. In addition, it makes the soil richer in nutrients. For an extra boost, you can also put a mixed raw egg in the bottom of the hole before burying the tomato root.
7. Remember to maintain them regularly
Remember to keep a close watch on your tomato plants. How? 'Or' What ? It's easy: remove rotting fruit and leaves. Also remove any leaves lying around on the floor. Also make sure that the heads of your plants are not too heavy. Be aware that some people cut the sweet tooth, others don't. It's up to you to see what works for you!
