Title: Tomatoes - Potting on
Post by: Paulines7 on April 01, 2006, 09:22:22

My tomato plants are now about 2Â½" tall and I want to pot them on into 3Â½" pots. If I use multi purpose compost, will it have enough nutrients to get them to the stage of planting out in their permanent positions?

I was wondering if I should make up my own compost using 3 parts multi compost and 1 part compost from a growbag. What do you all use please?

Multi-purpose is fine.

These are my first - done yesterday.

What's the best time to do it: when there's two true leaves?
