There are basic rules that regulate the correct care of tomatoes.
They include proper lighting, fertile soil, and the absence of negative neighbors that could infect vegetables or deprive them of nutrients.
But following these recommendations may not be enough to get a rich tomato harvest.
What are 3 important tricks you should know?
Hilling
Not all summer residents carry out this important procedure, which is an omission. Not everyone remembers that hilling performs the most important task of significantly strengthening the roots of the crop.
If the root system is of high quality, then the harvest will be appropriate, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , landscape designer and agronomist, expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
Trimming
Experienced gardeners always carry out side-sonning so that tomatoes develop correctly. It is also important to remove leaves in a timely manner.
Most often, it is recommended to remove dry foliage. It is also important to remove the lower leaves in midsummer.
The moment of fruiting
Some gardeners feed tomatoes at the early stages of development, forgetting about adding nutrients at the time of fruiting.
This is a flawed methodology.
On the contrary, during this period, nutrients are important for the vegetable. For example, you can simply add regular ash once every 14 days.
