new pots

My tomatoes finally got new bigger pots :) There was a lot of fun with coconut substrate and soil! Smell of wet soil and tomatoes' leaves is very nice and re-potting was fun and relaxing :) At the end of the day I've made them a family photo ;) They need to stay in tonight because it's going to be too cold, but I'll get them out in the morning.

potting substrate

I didn't fancy caring kilograms of soil, which I need to put my tomatoes in bigger containers! So, I bought just a small bag of soil plus a package of a potting substrate (peat free) made of coconut husk :) It is very simple to use. You just need to put some in a pot, add water and the substrate gets bigger within a minute - good fun! :)
