Baking soda is a simple and effective gardening hack to improve the flavor of home-grown tomatoes by lowering soil acidity. By changing the soil pH, baking soda facilitates better nutrient absorption, leading to sweeter tomatoes. It is recommended to apply about ¼ cup of baking soda around seedlings and repeat this as the plants grow. Additionally, baking soda can help control fungal infections in tomatoes, making it a multi-benefit addition to any gardener's routine. This technique can also be used for existing plants to boost sweetness and health.
Using baking soda in the garden changes the pH of the soil, lowering acidity, and yielding sweeter tomatoes, aiding nutrient absorption and enhancing overall flavor.
Baking soda not only enhances the sweetness of tomatoes by altering soil chemistry but also helps in the control of fungal infections.
To boost tomato flavor, apply about ¼ cup of baking soda to seedlings and repeat during growth, sprinkling it on the soil, not the plant.
Starting with baking soda at the seedling stage can improve fruit sweetness, and even established plants can benefit from applying it to the soil.
