Even experienced gardeners are sometimes not immune to mistakes in growing crops, but this does not mean that they can be corrected.
Before the new season begins, it is quite possible to analyze your shortcomings.
It is worth paying attention to the five most common mistakes in matters of growing tomatoes, says the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What do they consist of?
Buying new varieties
Sometimes everyone wants to experiment, and we give in to the temptation to buy an unusual variety of tomatoes. For the sake of curiosity, you can plant a small number of bushes.
If you plant the entire tomato crop of unknown origin, you could end up "burning out".
Lack of diversity
You shouldn't rely on just one variety of tomatoes: sometimes the weather may not be suitable for their correct development. It is best to combine 2-3 varieties.
In this case, the probability of a good harvest increases.
Quality of seedlings
Many people think that there is no point in “messing around” with seedlings: it is a labor-intensive and energy-consuming process that can be avoided by buying ready-made seedlings.
But this is a mistake.
To be sure of the quality of the seedlings, you should take care of the seedlings yourself.
The dangers of nitrogen
Many people forget that the introduction of nitrogen compounds should be limited in time. If you notice that ovaries are starting to form, you should forget about this type of fertilizer.
Fear of industrial complexes
Many people, for various reasons, use only natural fertilizers, avoiding industrial complexes. This is a mistake.
There is nothing dangerous in industrial fertilizers, but they can guarantee a high-quality harvest due to their balanced composition.
