Alan Titchmarsh says tomatoes will grow abundantly 'anywhere' if you add 1 thing to soil

season is in full swing, and to ensure you get the best growth of your at-home , there's one quick trick recommended by The British gardener and TV presenter has recommended an easy way to get full and juicy fruit, and it all starts with a growth bag.

Young tomato plants are commonly started from a growing bag, and the beauty of it is that it requires little to no space. In an episode of Gardening With Alan Titchmarsh, the expert said: "There is nothing more satisfying than biting into a sweet, juicy, sun-warmed, home-grown tomato. And I'm going to show you how to grow your own, whether you've got a large garden, a small garden, or no garden at all."

He added: "The beauty of a grow bag is it can go in any garden or no garden at all. So if you've got a balcony, a terrace, a patio, a yard where it's concrete, this is your man. Because just lay it on the concrete, plant into it, and you've got an instant pocket border."

A grow bag can fit in any , or even in no garden at all, and will still thrive whether on a balcony, a terrace or even a patio. But what many don't know, is that using grow bag canes will help your plants to thrive like never before.

You can grow a variety called bush tomatoes, which don't grow tall and therefore don't need support. The kinds that require some structure, however, are called cordon tomatoes that tend to have one long stem.

The majority of these bags will work well for the likes of tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers and melons but can also be placed pretty much anywhere. Whether it's a greenhouse, on top of a bed of soil or on a hard surface like concrete, all your plant needs are stored inside.

Titchmarsh's "nifty little trick" of using these cane supports for the bags can be easily slotted around the bag neatly. You may need to do a bit of jiggling to get the bag in inbetween the support's bars, but they should be able to slide through and sit nicely around the bag.

Cordon tomatoes are the variety known to grow tall and therefore require some canes, but it's these that the expert believes to be "the best croppers". He said: "One, a red one called Shirley, and the other, a sort of orange-yellow called Sunset. I like a bit of colour on the salad plate, and those two should do very nicely."

Tomatoes are all full of flavour, and unlike the others, you can get cherry tomatoes which grow on long vines rather than a bush or tall plant. Other types of tomato plants can give you a whole variety of results, from red to orange, yellow, striped and some even black.

Other gardening enthusiasts suggest that your tomatoes need rich, moisture-retentive soil and thrive in warm, sun-filled spots. They should be planted deeply and evenly spaced apart, according to their seed packets, which should indicate the exact spacing needed.

The right spacing between your plants not only allows for more light to reach them but also helps to improve the airflow in and around the soil. This can help to avoid any disease problems you could otherwise get.

How to grow tomatoes in grow bags

Step one: Carefully cut slots out of the bag to expose the compost as small windows in which your plants will sit inside.

Step two: Use a trowel to scoop out a decently sized hole and take the plant out of its original pot to then place it in the hole you've just made.

Step three: It's time for your canes for added support. Jiggle the support beams over your bag of compost so it sits nicely in inbetween two, stabilising it on any surface.
