Mulch tomatoes• Mulch tomato plants to keep dirt from splashing up on
to the fruit and leaves. This prevents diseases.
• Mulch tomatoes to keep moisture in the soil during the hot summer.
• Mulch to keep the soil cooler during the summer heat.
Put mulch down after weather is hot. Use rotted leaves, straw, hay, or
compost.
Start thinking about YOUR garden.
Planting starts in the greenhouse next month.
