i would get proper manuer from a local farm and dig this in well now. i should tell them to start with very easy things to grow like lettice and cabbage and potatoes. they need to get a few books and have a good read, also join an allotment club.

Every bag of fertilizer gives the ratio of fertilizer to use per square footage. Since there are different ratios depending the type of fertilizer used, follow the specific instructions given on the bag of fertilizer to be used.

I just scattered the cheapest quick release fertilizer, then tilled and watered............good to go...............It will probably have a higher first number which is the nitrogen content of fertilizer...although you may be able to find a 5-5-5 or more expensive 10-10-10

From the image it sounds like a customary plant which desires help. Use a cane and tie the plant loosely to it. Nip out any facet shoots because of the fact the plant grows. do no longer over water. whilst vegetation start to bloom on the plant somewhat mist of water helps to set the fruit. as quickly as the 1st truss of fruit instruments use a proprietary tomato nutrition. The training are on the bottle. in many situations as quickly as a week. Nip out the turning out to be tip of the plant whilst 5 instruments of vegetation have shaped. because of the fact the plant grows some leaves on the backside could start to brown off. that's no longer something to rigidity approximately yet they're no further use to the plant and could be nipped off to permit easy onto the fruit. Any unripe fruit left over on the top of the season could be ripened by skill of putting them in a brown paper bag and putting them in a drawer out of the easy, yet DONT forget they're IN THERE. relish your tomatoes, there is not any longer something like them clean off the vine, yummm!

you have to rake up the dirt or till it, then rake it really well into the soil, and if you put some on again later, make sure you dont let it get on the plants, cause when the sun comes out, it can burn the leaves.
then also make sure you water it in just a bit to get it started.

go with organic fertilizer better safe than sorry. protect mother nature as much as possible. use a 10.10.10 or less.
