My nana knew a thing or two!

Baking soda is another simple trick that can enhance the flavor of your tomatoes. By sprinkling a small amount of baking soda around the base of your tomato plants, you can reduce soil acidity, which in turn can lead to sweeter tomatoes. The alkaline nature of baking soda counteracts the acidity, allowing the natural sugars in the tomatoes to become more pronounced. However, it’s important to use baking soda sparingly, as too much can disrupt the soil’s pH balance and harm the plants.
