- Water newly planted tomatoes until the top 6 inches of soil feels moist
- Irrigate the tomatoes one to two times weekly to maintain the moisture in the top 6 inches of soil.
- During wet, rainy weather the plants may not require supplemental irrigation.
- Mulch conserves soil moisture so the tomato roots near the surface don’t dry out.
- Water tomato plants after any fertilizer applications, to thoroughly moisten the root zone.
- The water dilutes the fertilizer in the soil so the plants can better absorb the nutrients.
