What do you need.
How do I get started?
-
1Sow the tomato seeds.
-
2It is best to start in a small pot or container and let the seeds germinate until they are a little stronger.
-
3Fill the Elvea cans with a layer of potting soil.
-
4Place the seedlings in the tin.
-
5Top up further with potting soil so that the plants are firmly established.
-
6When the sprigs grow larger, place a wooden stick in the pot.
-
7Carefully tie the branch to the stick so that it does not sag and can grow nice and straight.
-
8If the plant eventually gets too big, you can transplant it into a larger Elvea can.
-
9Afterwards, it can continue to grow in a larger flower pot if necessary.
Ideal: tomato plants in a tomato can! 🍅
