Plant in rich, well-drained soil that receives full sun. Water the soil regularly to maintain an even moisture level, and mulch to keep moisture in the soil and keep weeds out. To control their fast growth and heavy fruit sets, support the plants with cages or stakes. Use a well-balanced tomato fertiliser on a regular basis. Prune to increase air circulation and get rid of suckers, both of which help stave off illness.Â
