Tomatoes – Too Much Water
Q: Last year we had poor tomato production due to rainfall and a lack of sunshine. What can we do to prevent problems in our garden before planting this year?
A: If too much water was the problem, increasing the percolation rate of your garden soil would be useful. Try tilling a one inch layer of very gritty sand (granite dust, paver sand, etc) eight inches deep and see if that make the tomatoes healthier.
