How To Pot On A Tomato Plant

Potting on tomato plants helps them grow and ensures a better crop. Brona Keenan, a gardener at Pitmedden Gardens in Aberdeenshire, Scotland shows you how to do it.

You Will Need

  • tomato plants in modules
  • garden compost
  • 1 pot

Method

Fill the base of the pot with compost. Gently tease the tomato plant from the module and pot it into the pot at the same level as it was in the module. Add some extra compost around the sides. Fill the pot to just below the top and tap to allow the compost to settle and remove any air bubbles. Make sure you leave a gap at the top of the pot for watering.
