How to use

Directions for Use:

Dig a circle slightly larger than the Tomato Crater, about 1.5 inches deep.
Loosen soil 6–8 inches deeper and plant your seedling.
Lock the two halves of the crater around the plant with a slight twist.
Firmly pack soil against the outer edge to secure and seal in moisture.
Optionally, fill the center hole with soil for added support for tomatoes, peppers, etc.
Use the slots on the bottom for three-wire plant support cages or additional stakes.
Add water and plant food as per soil conditions to promote growth.

Tomato Growing Tips:

Choose disease-resistant varieties suited to your growing zone.
Select plants with well-developed root systems, especially in shorter growing seasons.
Rotate planting locations annually and avoid areas previously used for potatoes or eggplants.
Ensure 6–8 hours of sunlight daily and use well-draining soil.
Water plants from the base, keeping leaves dry.
Use peat moss for better drainage if needed.
Support vines with cages or bungee cords, leaving room for growth.

Maintenance:

Set the Tomato Crater slightly below ground level with soil packed firmly around the edges.
Water deeply, ensuring moisture reaches 6–8 inches in depth.
At the end of the season, wash and store indoors for long-lasting use.

About Tomato Crater

For many years, we watched as gardeners planted tomatoes inside coffee cans, pots, containers and milk cartons with the bottoms cut out. Although this helped with cutworms, there were few other benefits vs growing tomatoes in pots or in tomato planters. Our goal in creating Tomato Crater was to develop a two-piece plant protector with additional plant BENEFITS that was simple and easy to use by gardeners of all ages and abilities. We reached that goal!
