Tomatoes... to pinch the laterals or not? What do you do?
Join the Cockatoo Sustainable Food Project to have your say and find out more.
We had a great debate on the pros & cons of each at our first workshop back at the community house today! Our top tip from the workshop... Water the base of the tomato plant not the leaves. This helps reduce the risk of disease and maximises water efficiency.
Tomorrow - How to Train Your Tomato! All the tips and tricks for growing tomatoes, how to stake them, should you prune them out, what's the best fertiliser and more! Followed by a general gardening Q&A. At the Community House 11.30 - 12.30.
Registration is necessary - message us to book in.
