This article will guide you on how to use a weed blocking mat in your tomato garden.
Instructions on how to use a weed blocking mat in your tomato garden
Before using the mat, you need to prepare the soil and the garden. Then, measure the size of the garden and place the mat on the ground. Use pegs to secure it and plant tomato plants. Using a weed control mat helps eliminate weeds, minimize effort, and increase productivity for the tomato garden. Below is the process you can refer to.
Determine the planting season:
Tomatoes are a seasonal crop, so you need to plan and determine the accurate planting time. Make sure that during the growth period, the tomato plant can develop. In Vietnam, the tomato growth season is divided into three seasons, but the determination of planting time depends on many factors such as geographical location, climate, tomato variety, planting purpose, and planting method.
Prepare the soil:
Tomatoes can grow on many types of soil, but the most suitable ones are sandy soil, loam, or well-draining soil. Tomatoes can be grown in rice paddies, or intercropped with garlic and onions. The soil pH should be between 6.0-6.5, and lime should be applied. The soil should be prepared one week before planting. Remove weeds, rocks, and stones from the tomato growth area. After cultivation, we proceed to create rows and furrows for tomato planting.
The distance between tomato rows should be about 60-90cm, depending on the tomato variety and planting purpose. This distance will allow the tomato plant to have enough space to grow, provide enough light, space for watering and fertilizing the plant, as well as make it easier for farmers to harvest and take care of the plant. However, you need to learn more about the specific tomato variety you are growing to get the most suitable distance.
Choosing tomato varieties:
There are many different types of tomatoes to choose from on the market, including black tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, pear tomatoes, and more, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on your personal preference. You can also buy seeds or collect them from ripe tomatoes.
Preparing the garden:
Before laying the mat, you need to create rows and set the appropriate distance between the plants. If you want to use pre-purchased weed barrier fabric, measure the size of the tomato garden to make sure the fabric is the right size.
Laying the weed barrier fabric:
After preparing the soil and garden, you need to lay the fabric on the ground. Make sure it is in the correct position. If you want to keep it in place, you can use pins to fix it.
Using pins for the mat:
Use pins to keep the weed barrier fabric in the right position. Make sure the edges of the mat are pinned down tightly so that weeds do not grow in areas around the tomato plants.
Planting the tomato plants:
After laying the weed barrier fabric and using pins to secure it, we proceed to plant the tomato plants. Remember that tomato plants need to be watered adequately and provided with enough sunlight to grow well.
