This shouldn’t be the case with your tomato plants, especially not if you are practicing the following 8 tricks before transplanting your tomatoes:

1. Epsom Salt

We all know how beneficial and useful Epsom salt can be, but you could never have imagined that Epsom salt can have positive effect on your tomatoes as well.

Why Epsom Salt? – Epsom salt is rich in magnesium, the most-needed nutrient that makes wonders with tomatoes. So, the next time you wonder what went wrong with your tomatoes, maybe they were lacking magnesium.

What to do? – Use one or two tablespoons of Epsom salt in the hole, before transplanting the seedling in the planting hole. However, it’s best if you cover the salt with a layer of soil in order to prevent the roots of the plants touching the salt directly. You’ll see that the results are amazing and you’ll get the most juicy and delicious tomatoes.

2. Aspirin

Most probably you would have never thought that aspirin can find its use to the gardening as well. However, you thought wrong! Aspirin can be as beneficial for your tomatoes as it is for you.

Why Aspirin? – Due to the salicylic acid in aspirin, your tomatoes will flourish once they get in touch with aspirin. It will be a great solution for increasing the yield as well as fighting off diseases such as blight.

What to do? – Add two or three aspirin tablets in the hole and you can also make your own homemade solution and spray your tomatoes once in a while. You will help your tomatoes to boost their immunity.

3. Baking Soda

Why Baking Soda? – If you like your tomatoes sweeter in taste, then baking soda is just right for you. This is especially true for the ones who grow tomatoes in containers.

What to do? – Just sprinkle little baking soda around the base of the tomato plants. Once the soda absorbs in the soil, it will lower the acidity levels and your tomatoes will have a sweeter taste.

4. Used Coffee Grounds

It seems that the coffee grounds are better off in the soil rather than in the garbage. You’ll see it mostly by the look of your tomatoes once you’ve placed used coffee grounds in the holes before planting your tomatoes.

Why Used Coffee Grounds? – The used coffee grounds can be used even as a mulch. Used coffee grounds improve the soil composition and it’s also a great source of fertilizer. Your tomatoes will produce juicy and healthy fruits thanks to the used coffee grounds.
