An impressive harvest is a mixture of experience, hard work and mastery of secret techniques that 90% of summer residents are unaware of.
In the case of tomatoes, one of the main tricks concerns the formation of bushes.
The secret is simple: extra brushes take away nutrients, which is why the harvest is several tens of percent less than it could be.
The subtleties of forming bushes differ for a greenhouse and open ground.
There is less space in a greenhouse. Here the plants are kept in more cramped conditions, so experienced gardeners grow them in one or two trunks.
In this case, there is much more space, so gardeners leave 3-4 trunks. The plants will have enough light and air.
1. There are exceptions. There are hybrid varieties that only have two stems left in both the greenhouse and the open ground. But this is usually warned about on the seed packaging.
2. Each summer resident starts from the territory allocated for the garden. But the optimal planting of tomatoes is considered to be at a distance of 40 cm from each other.
3. Bush formation and distance affect the yield. But taste and color always depend only on the variety.
