What product kills tomato seeds to keep them from growing back in the garden?

Our plants are finished producing for the summer and i don't want the seeds to fall into the garden and continue to grow tomatoe's. I want to clear the garden and get ready for fall planting. Is there a product (NOT weed killer, etc) that works, at say walmart or a local feed store???

Let them grow. You do not have to clear the garden yet. Why would you want to grow where you sprayed to kill something?

Tomatoe seeds are indestructible you can see that at your seage treatment plant its full of seeds and if they spread the now treated dung they still grow.
Reply:Yes! a hoe is what you need. Have you ever heard the saying "you have to give to get" I think this applies to your question. Leaving the old rotten tomatoes and other earth friendly edibles over the winter will help enrich your soil. If you plant every year without giving back to the soil, your soil will become tired and your plant production will decrease. So, I say give the old unwanted tomatoes to your gardens soil and in the spring turn your garden and plant your plants.


Watch if grow with glee.. and see what the garden gives back to you.
Reply:Honestly, if you use a product that will kill off tomato seeds, you will also be killing other things and making the soil contain a product that will be there next year, stunting or inhibiting the growth of other things...aside from potentially being in the stuff that you will grow and eat.





Just make sure that you discard the tomatoes that dont make it off the vine. If you haven't done this, and have allowed the fruit to rot into the ground, you are out of luck this year...do it next.
Reply:Roundup is the best, because it is a short term weedkiller. You can plant after 2-3 weeks. I prefer leaving my tomatoes in the ground as I get seedlings for the next year.
