just replanted my tomato plants into the soild from pots and they have wilted and dont look like their going to make it, any tips to bring them back to life or prevent the next lot from dying
If they're just wilting immediately post transplant then plenty of water should buck them up, if they're still wilting 24-48 hours after planting then probably on the way out - my routine for all planting out is:
Water pots moderately before depotting
Don't touch roots with hand during transplant
Water heavily again after planting
don't let them totally dry out, but don't over-water them either; you'd be surprised how easily you should be able to revive them.
You can bring them back. give them a good water and keep them away from direct sunlight. make a polythene cover to keep them shaded and create some moisture, some coat hangers and plastic bags will do it.
make sure you plant anymore in good soil/growbags, and keep them away from direct sunlight. and keep the soil moist, not wet
Give them a good wash, get a local seamstress to fix any faults- they should last a few more months.
why do you have tomato PANTS? 😆
But do you not think the replies make good sense for pants too?
Tomato liquid feed and a bit of patients. I transplanted mine from pot to grow bag a couple of weeks ago. I lost 6 plants in the windy weather about 3 weeks ago but this week the others have come on leaps and bounds.
Good luck.... i hope they make it 🙁

Don't feed them before the first small fruits appear or you get massive great leafy plants that can't support their own weight.......

Tomatoes have two types of roots, feeding roots and drinking roots. In an ideal world they can be separated using a special pot sunken into the soil allowing the feeding and watering to become a seperate operation.
If they are looking really sad and wilted use a thin plastic bag that fits over the plant, wet the inside and cover the plant until it recovers from the disturbance,
