Take a 1 gallon milk jug

Fill it with water add 1 tablespoon epson salt and 1 tablespoon baby shampoo

Saturate each plant with this. give it about 4-5 days and watch what it does.

Tomatoes like well drained soil,but like to be wet.

Also if you start over. Add a tablespoon of sugar in the hole before you add your new tomatoe start.

Taste the difference.

The solution I posted is for plants that need a pick me up.

Never tryed it with new cuttings.

If one is going to take and make a clone from and old plant.

Try rootone it is a rooting hormone.I use it to get clones from all of my plants great results.

Side note on the solution I posted after 4-5 days. Depending on how tired your plants are add another gallon of the solution.

Tomatoes like the magesium in the epson salt.

If your tomatoe plants leaves start to turn yellow add calcium.

Egg shells, powdered milk to the plants.
