Tips to Grow Little Bing Tomato:

  1. Arrange good quality of Little Bing Tomato nursery plant with good quality root ball.
  2. The soil should be well-drained in nature, neither too wet nor too dry. Add organic matter such as manure, peat moss or garden compost until the soil is loose and easy to work. 
  3. Dig the hole up to two times larger than the root ball and deep enough that the plant will be at the same level in the ground as the soil level in the container. 
  4. Add a 3-inch layer of mulch around the plants for better growth.
  5. Remove vegetables as soon as they mature. Leaving them on the plant any longer than necessary can affect flavor and texture, and mature fruit steals energy from younger developing fruits.
