Types and Textures. Loam and sandy loam soils are best for tomato production, but these plants will grow in almost all soil types except heavy clay. If you your soil has lots of clay, you can improve the texture by tilling the soil and incorporating sand, sawdust, peat moss or other amendments before planting.
Step 3. Prepare the soil before transplanting the tomato plants to promote the most growth. Till the soil with a motorized tiller, or double-dig. Double-dig with a shovel by digging a second time below the top level of the freshly broken soil.tep 4. Fertilize the soil before planting the tomatoes. Dig well-aged manure, which can be purchased at a gardening store, into the top 6 inches of the soil. Do not use chemically-based fertilizer if you want the tomatoes to be organic.
