Sweeten Tomato Plants w/ Baking Soda


Just sprinkle a small amount baking soda on the soil around your tomato plants being careful not to get the soda on the plant itself.  (you can also use 1 tsp in a gallon of water and water the plants that way!)
The baking soda absorbs into the soil and lowers the acidity levels.  This will give you tomatoes that are more sweet than tart.
