Planting Tomatoes in Your Rion Greenhouse

Most tomatoes will grow in any kind of soil that you have in your area and by adding compost and manure will also help the soil with nutrients. If you haven't started your tomatoes by seed then you will want to visit a garden nursery and buy already established tomato plants for your Rion greenhouse. Once you have your tomatoes carefully remove them from their containers and gently spread out the roots if they are at the bottom of the container and lay them in your pre-watered hole that you have made for it. Leave about two to three feet of space between the tomato plants, you don't want to over crowd plants in your greenhouse as this will lead to plant disease and unwanted garden pests. Make sure you water your tomato plants well and regularly to get nice full fruit. As your tomato plants grow you will need to stake them up to prevent breakage. Tomato cages work well for this. Another method is putting a above the tomato plants from one end of your greenhouse to the other and tie a string onto the tomato plant being careful not to tie it to tight and then tie the other end to the wire for support. Fertilizing your tomatoes on a regular basis will keep them growing healthy. Be sure to clean up after your self to avoid any clutter and put your gardening tools back on your storage sheds garden shelf. Enjoy your tomato planting!
