Question by chef_renee: What is the best Soil blend to grow Tomatoes and Fresh Herbs in?
Now that I’ve gotten my beds all cleaned out (new homeowner, totally gutted the old landscaping) and want to use what I plant, so I’m going with Tomatoes and fresh herbs. I have a bit of clay but some pretty good soil that’s been tilled but I think I’ll need some Soil too, what would you suggest? Thank you very much and have a wonderful Spring evening!

As long as you don’t have to much clay, and your soil is loose and easy to dig in , you shouldn’t have any problems. You can add leaves or composted manure to your soil to keep it loose. Feed your plants a fertilizer with a higher middle number.

add some sand and compost I would work in some 10-10-10 and mulch with leaves or straw not hay and you should be ready to go keep your garden as weed free as you can you will do great just research every thing you grow and join a garden forum have fun Good Luck
Get a bag of potting soil , a bag of cow manure {home depot} and a bag of sand . Mix all together and you have the best mix for tomatoes , If you have sources to a cattle ranch then you could get it for .Water and away they go , dont add any fertilizers yet untill they are rooting. You could add vitamin b for shock . dig you bowls large for water and dont water to much or you will get all vines and no fruit, plant 5 feet apart due to tomatoes spreading. you could stake the outsides and in betweens and string the middle and top , this is how the commercial growers grow their tomatoes
