how i doubled my tomato production by fixing one simple mistake

For years, I planted tomatoes the way the internet told me: water often, fertilize every two weeks, cage them, hope for the best. Then last year I discovered why my yields were mediocre — my plants were drowning. Overwatering is the #1 tomato killer. So I changed everything: I watered deeply once every 4–5 days. Added 3 inches of mulch to keep soil cool. Pruned the bottom 8–10 inches for airflow. Used one tablespoon of crushed eggshells in each planting hole. The results? I harvested twice as many tomatoes. Fruit was bigger, skins didn’t crack, and I barely had any blossom rot. My neighbor asked what fertilizer I used — I told him it wasn’t fertilizer at all. It was finally giving the plants the right environment, not more products. #Gardening #Tomatoes
