Tips for Growing Great Tomatoes With AGGRAND Natural Organic Liquid Fertilizer

History: The tomato belongs to the plant family solanaceae, the same as potato, eggplant and pepper. It is native to South America and was first cultivated on the west side of the Andes in Ecuador and Peru. It eventually migrated up the coast and was intensively cultivated by Mexican Indian tribes. The Spanish were responsible for its introduction into Europe.

Culture: It is best to start tomatoes indoors under lights or in a greenhouse. After six to eight weeks, when they have developed four to six leaves, they can be transplanted into the garden. The best time to transplant is during cloudy weather after the soil has warmed to at least 60 degrees F. A black or red plastic mulch, planting in old car tires, wall-o-water (a water-filled plastic ring) or on the south side of a building will increase yields in cool marginal climates.

Transplantation

Dig holes 2 - 3 feet apart, 8 - 12 inches deep with 3 - 6 foot row spacing (narrower for staked plants).

Steps:

Pinch off all except top two or three leaves at the stem.
Plant in hole up to those leaves (burying most of the stem).
If soil is shallow, plant horizontally with tip bent gently

Fertilization:

Till in a layer of compost in fall or early spring (2 inches). Use 2:1 soil/compost to fill holes when transplanting.
Mix two ounces AGGRAND 4-3-3 with one gallon water, and soak the bottom of the hole before transplanting; right after transplanting, water plants with same tea.
For highest yields, use two ounces AGGRAND 4-3-3, two ounces AGGRAND 0-12-0 and one ounce of AGGRAND 0-0-8 gallon at planting.
Sprinkle with AGGRAND fertilizer tea at first bloom, full bloom and during fruit set as cooler nights set in.

Disease:

Blossom end rot (black rot on the bottom of the fruit): Till in one quart AGGRAND 0-12-0 per 1,000 to 2,000 square feet before next growing season.
Radial cracking (cracks radiating from stem caused by uneven moisture): Use mulch and keep soil moist by watering with 1-2 gallons of water 2-3 times/week.

Proven Varieties:

Early: Northern Exposure, Early Girl, Cascade.

Medium to Late: Better Boy, Fantastic, Beef Steak

Cherry: Sweet 100 - Paste: Roma

Banding in the Row: A Proven Technique To
Jump-Start Your Garden

When you're reading through label directions on AGGRAND products, you find that there is more than one way to apply AGGRAND fertilizer to any given crop. Soil, as well as foliar (leaf) and banded applications are usually specified.

A fall fertilizer application prior to tillage promotes the breakdown of crop residues and helps provide nutrients and organic matter for spring-planted crops. In spring, banding or "banding in the row" is used on some row crops. The best way to band fertilizer is to dig a trench slightly to one side and beneath where the seed will be planted (one to two inches below and two to four inches to the side of the seeds). The fertilizer, mixed with water, is then dribbled into the trench. The trench is covered, and a furrow is formed next to it for the seed.

For more information about specific garden-fertilizer applications, consult the AGGRAND Gardening Guide (G-1292).

AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer has gained certification into the USDA BioPreferred Program.

Under the USDA program, products are considered biobased if they are composed wholly or significantly of biological ingredients - renewable plant, animal, marine or forestry materials.

Products certified in the program carry a label icon that helps consumers make informed choices. The icon is easy to recognize and consumers can have confidence in the label because claims about the presence and amount of biobased ingredients are third-party certified and strictly monitored by the USDA.

USDA BioPreferred Program Goals
The core goals of the USDA BioPreferred Program first were introduced in the 2002 Farm Bill:

To spur the development of the biobased industrial base through value-added agricultural processing and manufacturing in rural communities.
To enhance the nation's energy security, by substituting biobased products for fossil energy-based products derived from imported oil and natural gas.
To reduce the nation's environmental impact by promoting products that may be more benign to the environment.

This new 100 percent biobased product certification is another benefit of using AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer.

Our purpose is to meet your lawn, garden and agricultural fertilization needs.
