Tomatoes will be fleshy and juicy: what fertilizer should be thrown into the hole before planting
Experienced gardeners told us about one nuance that should be taken into account when transplanting tomatoes to a permanent place.
The size and juiciness of the fruit depends on the fertilizers that are applied throughout the season. But we must not forget about proper soil preparation.
Some gardeners ignore this rule and then wonder why the harvest is not pleasing. An important nuance concerns fertilizers that need to be thrown into the planting hole.
To make tomatoes juicy and fleshy, you will need compost or manure. Tomatoes love soil that is thoroughly fertilized with organic matter and well drained.
Therefore, when preparing a bed for tomatoes, you need to add a large amount of compost and manure. The latter should be well rotted. Fresh manure can harm the plantings and even burn their roots.
Organic matter in the planting hole will not only provide the plants with nutrition, but will also loosen the soil, and water will not stagnate in the roots, which will reduce the chances of fungal diseases.
