I have 2 grape tomato plants that I just transplanted. They are about 10" high at this point and starting to fill out. This is my first try at raising tomatoes. I read somewhere that they like acidic compost and I have plenty of pine needles, but I don't want to overdo anything and lose them.
Here's what thier planted in:
1/2 whiskey barrels
1st layer: about a foot of pine bark & cedar mulch on the bottom. (recycled dog house bedding)
2nd layer: about 8" red clay/sandsoil w/leaf, cow manure and top soil mixture.
I thought of adding the pine needle mulch on top.
