00:00Nine gardening methods to get high yields of cherry tomatoes.

00:04Use mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. A two-inch organic mulch layer retains moisture,

00:10suppresses weeds, cools soil, and attracts earthworms and bees that aerate roots.

00:16Prune suckers for better airflow. Snipping suckers below the first flower cluster directs

00:21energy to fruit, improves airflow to reduce disease, and aids pollination.

00:26Implement succession planting. Stagger transplants every two weeks to extend harvest.

00:31Avoid pests and pair different age vines for consistent canopy and natural allies.

00:37Train and support with cages or trellises. Guide vines with sturdy cages or trellises

00:42so fruit stays off ground, reducing rot, easing harvest, and improving sun exposure.

00:48Establish a drip irrigation schedule. Use early morning drip irrigation or

00:52soaker hoses for slow deep watering to 8 to 12 inches, promoting root health and preventing rot.

00:58Select high-performing varieties. Pick proven, disease-resistant cherry tomato varieties

01:04like Sun Gold and Sweet 100 for high yields and fewer chemical treatments.

01:09Amend soil with rich compost and organic matter. Incorporate several inches of well-aged compost

01:15or manure before planting to foster microbial-rich soil that enhances nutrient uptake sustainably.

01:21Rotate crops annually. Rotate tomatoes to a new spot every three years and follow with

01:27legumes to disrupt diseases and replenish soil nitrogen. Utilize row covers for early season growth.

01:34Cover seedlings with lightweight row cloth to raise soil temperatures, encourage early flowering,

01:39deter pests, and attract predatory insects.
