How to Grow Juicy, Highly Mineralized Tomatoes with the Soil Sorcery Calcium-Based Organics Fertilizer Kit

Tomatoes are the crown jewel of any home garden. Bursting with flavor, rich in nutrients, and endlessly versatile, they reward careful growers with armloads of vine-ripened goodness. But growing perfect tomatoes requires more than sunshine and water — it demands healthy soil, strong roots, and balanced nutrition, especially calcium.

At Soil Sorcery, we’ve developed a Calcium-Based Organics Fertilizer Kit that solves some of the most frustrating tomato-growing problems — from blossom end rot to poor fruit set — with a boost of plant-available minerals, enzymes, and living microbes. Here's your complete guide to growing tomatoes from seed to harvest using our signature fruits and veggies mix fertilizer kit.

STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR VARIETY

The first step to a successful tomato season is choosing the right type for your space, taste, and growing zone. Here’s a breakdown:

Heirloom vs. Hybrid

Heirlooms (like Brandywine or Cherokee Purple) offer rich flavor and diverse colors but can be more disease-sensitive.

Hybrids (like Early Girl or Celebrity) are bred for vigor and disease resistance, perfect for beginners or humid climates.

Indeterminate vs. Determinate

Indeterminate: Keep growing and fruiting all season (e.g., Sungold, Beefsteak).

Determinate: Grow to a set height and produce a single large crop (e.g., Roma, Bush Early Girl).

Tip: Grow both! Romas for sauce, cherries for snacking, slicers for sandwiches.

STEP 2: STARTING SEEDS

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date.

Fill trays or pots with seed-starting mix.

Sow seeds 1/4" deep, 1–2 per cell.

Keep warm (70–80°F) and moist until germination (~5–10 days).

Once sprouted, place under grow lights or a sunny windowsill for 14–16 hours/day.

Transplant to larger pots when seedlings have 2–3 sets of true leaves.

Before planting outside, harden off seedlings by gradually introducing them to outdoor conditions over 5–7 days.

STEP 3: PREPARE THE BED /  LARGER POTS

Tomatoes are heavy feeders, especially of calcium, which is essential to prevent blossom end rot and support healthy cell walls.

Use the Soil Sorcery Calcium-Based Organics Fertilizer Kit:

Apply the fruits and veggies mix fertilizer kit to your garden soil or raised bed before planting. This blend includes:

Micronized bones and natural calcite for bioavailable calcium

Organic matter, greensand, and humates for water retention

Mycorrhizal fungi and microbes for better root uptake

Incorporate well into the top 6–8 inches of soil a few days before transplanting.

STEP 4: PLANTING & STAKING

Space tomatoes 18–24 inches apart.

Dig deep holes and bury 2/3 of the plant, including the stem — it will grow roots!

Install stakes, cages, or trellises at planting time to avoid disturbing roots later.

Water deeply after planting.

STEP 5: FEEDING, WATERING MAINTENANCE

Healthy tomatoes are well-fed, evenly watered, and supported through their growth.

Watering:

Allow soil to dry completely between waterings.

Deep water 2–3 times per week in hot weather.

Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease.

Feeding Schedule (with the Soil Sorcery Kit):

Every 2–3 weeks, work an additional 2-3 tbsp of fruits and veggies mix fertilizer kit into the top 3-5 inches of soil staying around 2-3 inches away from the base of the plant.

Pruning:

Remove suckers (small shoots between main stem and branches) on indeterminate varieties for better airflow and bigger fruit.

Trim bottom leaves once fruit starts forming to reduce disease pressure.

COMMON ISSUES & PEST CONTROL

Even with healthy soil, tomatoes can face challenges. Here’s how to stay ahead:

Blossom End Rot

Caused by calcium deficiency + irregular watering.

SOLUTION: Use our calcium-rich fertilizer kit and mulch to retain moisture.

Leaf Spot / Blight

Fungal diseases triggered by humidity.

SOLUTION: Water at base, space plants properly, and use copper-free organic fungicides like Greencure (Potassium Bicarbonate) if necessary

Pests

Aphids: Blast with water or spray with neem oil.

Hornworms: Handpick or introduce beneficial wasps.

Whiteflies: Use yellow sticky traps and companion plants like basil or marigold.

STEP 6: HARVEST & STORAGE

Tomatoes are ready when they are fully colored, slightly soft to the touch, and fragrant.

Harvest in the morning when temperatures are cool.

Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Refrigeration can dull the flavor.

Tip: Gently twist or snip fruit from the vine to avoid plant damage.
