Heirloom Vegetable Seeds - Burnley Surecrop Tomato
Developed in Melbourne, so suited to our specific growing conditions, this is a tall and vigorous tomato that produces medium sized, round fruit. Disease resistant.
Soil
Tomatoes are very nitrogen- hungry, so prepare the soil by integrating nitrogen-rich pea or broad bean plants into your soil as a green manure. Alternatively, mix compost and chook manure through your patch a fortnight prior to planting.
Soil pH Level 5.5–7.5
Position
Choose a sunny, well-drained spot in your patch, preferably a place you haven’t grown tomatoes in the previous season.
How to Plant
