Want a bumper crop of delicious homegrown tomatoes and vegies this season? Angie shares a simple plan to get your vegetable garden off to a strong start this weekend.

• Prepare the soil – Before planting, improve your soil with Yates Dynamic Lifter Plant Food & Soil Improver, containing natural ingredients including chicken manure, blood and bone, fish meal and seaweed.
• Feed for growth – Regular feeding helps support healthy foliage, flowering and fruiting. Apply Yates Dynamic Lifter Tomatoes, Vegies & Herbs around the root zone every six weeks to encourage strong growth and a bigger harvest.
• Keep an eye out for pests – Check plants regularly for chewed leaves, holes and other signs of insect activity, particularly on tomato plants.
• Protect your plants – Yates Tomato & Vegetable Dust helps control common pests including aphids and caterpillars, while also treating diseases such as leaf spot and powdery mildew. Apply every 7–10 days.
