    i have just sown some tomato seeds in a tray.

    when i put them in the grow bags in the greenhouse is there anything natural (eg garden waste) i can put in the bottom of the hole before i plan the mature plant to make them healthier?

    Keeping them healthy is all down to you G G. Making sure they are fed and watered properly and kept pest free.

    Make a natural feed by letting nettles sit in water for a few weeks, drain off the liquid then feed the toms with this.

    It works wonders - you'll see !
