To grow juicy, delicious tomatoes like those you remember from your childhood (not the waxy, tasteless tomatoes on the shelves of most supermarkets today), add minerals and trace elements back to the soil using an all-natural remineralizing soil booster like Cascade Minerals Remineralizing Soil Booster.<\/p>\n

Why? Because tomato plants require a multitude of nutrients to produce bright-red, rich-tasting juicy fruit. This makes tomatoes excellent benchmarks for determining the health and vitality of the soil that they grow in. Minerals and trace elements (like magnesium, calcium, silicon and iron) are essential to the growth, health and productivity of plants and<\/i> people. If there are not enough minerals in the soil, there aren\u2019t enough minerals in the tomatoes\u2014and you\u2019ll get fruit that is dull in color and in taste.<\/p>\n

So be patient. Wait just a few weeks longer to plant your tomatoes in your garden and follow these tips\u2014and you\u2019ll be handsomely rewarded!<\/p>\n
