2. Prep the Hole

2. Prep the Hole

Dig a hole about 10 inches deep and about as wide as a small shovel. Pour in enough compost to fill the hole, and lightly incorporate it into the soil. Prepare a 5-gallon bucket of water mixed with a water-soluble tomato fertilizer, and pour in enough to fill the hole. Rich, moist soil helps young plants establish faster and keeps them happier longer.
