Soil with a pH that's too low can lead to your tomato plant getting too little calcium. To prevent overly acidic conditions, perform a soil test and apply lime at the recommended rate to raise the pH to the 6.0 to 6.5 range. Do this two to four months before you plant.
There are 40 acres in a parcel, which has four sides that measure 1,320 feet each. A square mile is 640 acres, with each side measuring 5,280 feet in length.
An acre equates to the following: It is important to realise that an acre can be measured in any shape - from rectangles to circles or even hexagons - so long as the total area of land is 43,560 square feet. The most common shape for an acre is 1 furlong by 1 chain, or 660 feet by 66 feet. If you're struggling to get your head around just how big that area actually is, try visualising 60% of a soccer pitch, 75% of an American football field or 16 tennis courts in a 4x4 formation.
