  How to Properly Water Tomato Plants

Tomato plants like a lot of water. They will shrivel and die, or at least not produce tomatoes, if they do not get enough. However, they are prone to diseases if watered too much or improperly. As convenient as sprinklers can be, for example, this method of watering is one of the worst for tomato plants. Any method that sprays water over tomato plants, rather than directing it to the soil, is inefficient and promotes blight. In addition, the time of day, the temperature and the amount of water are all important.

 

Instructions

  • Use a garden hose to thoroughly water new tomato plants after they are set in the ground. Water deeply and then allow the soil to dry out--but not parch. A day after watering new plants, test the soil by poking your finger down into it about an inch. If it is wet, hold off on watering for a while longer (how long depends on how warm the climate is). If it feels only slightly moist, water plants again.

  • Lay out soaker hose near the stems of the tomato plants, leaving about 1 inch between the stem and the hose.

  • Turn on your soaker hose system. Leave the water on until the ground around the tomato plants is soaked several inches below the surface. For some soaker hoses with small irrigation holes, this may mean leaving it on for several hours.

  • Water tomato plants in the cool hours of the morning when at all possible. Less water evaporates this way--which means more sinks into the soil, where the tomato plants can actually use the moisture.

  • Water plants deeply every other day--or more often as needed. Soil type and temperature will play a part in how often you need to water. Test the soil daily to make sure it is not too dry.
