You have your tomato seeds in the soil and they are starting the germination process.  The next step is gathering materials for the organic compost hill that you must build! The organic compost hill is the most important part of this challenge and the most important part of growing a monster tomato plant.  Most gardeners do not know this trick and most are too lazy to even build the hill, but if they put in the effort for their plants, the plants will do amazing things in return.

Composting Materials:

1.  You can use ANY table scraps that you may have.  It doesnt matter if the table scraps are from organic produce or not.  Use anything.  Pizza crusts, apple cores, peelings, pulp that is left over from your juices, egg shells, chicken bones.  Easter/Passover is coming up, save the table scraps!

2.  Gather some leaves from the fall.  If you have mowed your lawn, gather the grass clippings!

3.  Go the extra mile for your tomato plant, find some cow or horse manure!  Do you know of any horse stables around your area?  They would LOVE to give you some horse manure.  Do you live in a city?  Well most cities have mounted police men and there are horse stables that need cleaned, ask the station if you can have some manure!

4.  Do NOT use potato peelings or onions in your compost hill.  Its possible they could begin to grow in your compost pile and they would steal nutrients away from the tomato plant and stunt its growth.

The main goal here is to gather as much nutrition as you can so your tomato plant can feed off of it all summer long.

The more nutrition you provide for your plant, the BIGGER and BETTER tasting cherry tomatoes!
