Here are your 10 top tips on how to plant tomatoes.

1. It is entirely in the ground work so they say, a good tip is to rotate your soil during January and February. You will be surprised how many insect eggs have been hidden in the ground during the winter and if you expose them to the frosts with any luck you will have less pests during the year.

2. Groundwork of your earth is essential. You can push the boat out and test your soil for PH and add chemicals or supplements correctly or you can add some well rotten compost which typically is just as successful at balancing the soil out

3. Mulching your dirt is the finest way of reducing the weeds around your plants in addition to adding nutrients, maintaining the warm soil and retaining moisture

4. If you are growing tomatoes from seed it is a good idea to choose a selection so you have late and an early yield. You can also have cherry and plum ones These are perfect for creating sauces which will give you a wonderful crop which will see you throughout the season

5. Seedlings require sunshine and warmth to mature into strong plants. Leggy seedlings can be planted deeply when planted up as this will allow them to produce stronger stems

6. When growing tomato plants do not fertilise your plants either too early or too much as you can cause a build up of chemicals in the plants leading to problems with leaves and fruit creation. Only begin to add fertiliser after the plant begins to blossom and then only 1 each week

7. Diseases can certainly affect your plants if they are kept too humid or become diseased. "Know the enemy and be prepared". Companion planting will prevent some pests and is environmentally friendly

8. Supporting your tomatoes as they grow is essential as tomatoes which aren't tend to become damaged leaving fruits trailing on the earth. Using either cages or stakes and strong but gentle ties will stop damage and ensure a well supported and productive plant

9. Watering correctly is always a crisis, too much can lead to fruiting problems too little can lead to fruiting problems. Try not to let the plants to dry out if they are in either pots or grow bags as when you do water them it will simply run off

10. When thinking of the finest tomato growing tips the most feasible is perhaps the storing of your wonderful stock of tomatoes. This is valuable as well as cost effective. You can easily make sun dried tomatoes and thick rich sauces which you can freeze and use all the way through the winter months reminding you of summer and tasting so much better than those bought at your local shop

Better garden tools will result in better results in your yard and garden without having to rely on substandard equipment. There may be many tools that could accomplish the same task but better garden tools will make that task easier on you comfort-wise.

Cordless grass shears are by far one of the best tools to have, especially when you need to put the finishing touches on your lawn.

You may call them vintage, old or even antique garden tools but the fact of the matter is that if you or your family has anything that looks old hanging around the garden or tool shed and it is still in operating condition, consider yourself lucky.

At this time of year I look out at the garden, mainly the lawn, and think "here we go again". It is now spring time, time for the first cut and to begin to care for the lawn, as well as fight those pesky weeds which seem to appear out of nowhere.

Have you ever wondered about when to prune fruit trees? If you have just entered the tree growing world, you have no doubt heard the term "pruning" tossed around by the more veteran growers. Well, I have something to admit.

Growing grape vines can be both a rewarding and an enjoyable experience. It can give you many fruits for years. But if you are thinking about starting a vineyard, keep in mind that it will need a lot of 'TLC'.

If you are growing an organic garden and enjoy composting, having your own compost tumbler can provide many great benefits. Compost tumblers can make the process of composting much easier.
