Why Tomatoes "Get Fat": Plants Will Start Forming Fruit After This Trick
A miscalculation by summer residents can lead to the loss of almost the entire harvest.
If tomatoes have started to "grow fat", then you need to act as quickly as possible. Just one trick will make tomatoes bear fruit uncontrollably.
To understand that tomatoes are "getting fat", you need to pay attention to the leaves and stems. If they are very thick, then we are talking about an excess of nitrogen.
Tomatoes overfed with this macronutrient will not set fruit if you do not take care of the harvest.
Externally, such tomatoes look strong and healthy. It seems wrong that they will soon be covered with fruits. But instead, the bushes form new stems and leaves.
It is difficult to stop the process of "fattening" right now. But it can be done and it will not cost much.
You need to cover the tomatoes with sawdust. The bacteria that will process them will draw excess nitrogen from the soil. The tomatoes will stop "getting fat" and fruits will gradually appear.
