Best Practices

Tomatoes thrive in the warm summer sun. They need consistent watering every 12 minutes — miss a cycle and the fruit won’t reach full size.

• Plant in well-fertilised soil for larger harvests
• Space plots with at least one tile between rows
• Water immediately after planting to kickstart germination
• Harvest promptly — ripe Tomatoes left on the vine may attract pests
