Better Boy Tomato Care
This indeterminate hybrid is extremely popular due to its ease of care and delicious, large fruits. To grow these tomatoes, space the plants 36 inches apart. This ensures that each plant has enough room to grow without overcrowding and will help avoid disease from lack of airflow.
At planting, trim off the bottom two sets of leaves, dig a deep planting hole, and bury the plant down to its first set of leaves. Tomatoes are able to produce roots along their stems so planting them deeply creates a strong root system and produces a strong, sturdy plant.
Because this variety grows so large, staking, caging, or some other means of plant support are essential. To help the soil retain its moisture, add a layer of mulch around the base of the plants.
Better Boy tomatoes are disease resistant and often do not struggle with many of the most common tomato-related diseases. Always be on the lookout for pests that might attack the plant.
