Dear Judith,
 
From my humble opinion  it is the episiotomy that encourages a deeper tear. I am definitely not an expert though.
Taking up the point of the other listers, Perenium massage is the way to go! Like any muscle tissue of the body you have to stretch it to make it supple.
 
All the best wishes for another homebirth!
 
Darren
