Are there any good sites with help on tomato growing – I want to grow tomatoes using organic wastes?

I am making a compost pile at home that include leaves, twigs all sorts of vegetable peels and some times even spoiled over non veg food items, I want to grow my tomatoes using this and no chemical fertilizer. Will this work? and will the yield be satisfactory … now it is winter over here, and in winter the temp becomes 25-29 degree c ..i live in the middle east by the way … i also want to know precisely how to sow the seeds successfully in a pot using this organic compost and soil.

    Hurray! Thank you for even thinking of organic gardening!
    This may sound weird but a good compost pile is so rewarding.
    Be careful with putting in your compost pile the.."spoiled over non veg food items" … don't want to attract pests of any sort.

    It will work… not sure how your yield will be… that will depend on the variety of tomato that you choose to grow. (I'm not so technical but the ph level of the soil may make a difference too.)
    When we grow tomatoes we have room for different varieties so the yield isn't an issue for us…that's why I can't tell you how it'll be. Hope you have large pots. :-)
    I have had friends who lived in apartments and grew a tomato or pepper in pots… I'm not sure if they did it organically though…they were pleased with their outcome.

    Hope this site will help you… http://www.organicgardening.com/feature/0,7518,s1-5-16-193,00.html
    Good luck!
    I know the tomatoes will taste great! Have fun!

About Author

I've been an avid gardener most of my life and I've always had an interest in organic gardening. My parents always had gardens when I was a child and while I can't say that no chemicals were used, most products and methods used to maintain the garden were natural. Now that I have a garden of my own (past 7 years) I've gone strictly organic. This blog is my attempt to share Organic Gardening Tips with you.
