Why Some Summer Residents "Treat" Tomatoes with Vodka: You'll Be Surprised

Some people are used to sticking to classical methods of growing vegetables, so they use only appropriate industrial fertilizers.

Others choose natural analogues, believing that this is a more correct approach.

But there are summer residents who use very original methods for growing tomatoes. For example, some use vodka to feed tomatoes, said landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.

What is the purpose of using strong alcoholic drink?

Maturation

If frosts are just around the corner, but the tomatoes are still in no hurry to ripen, you can resort to trickery. Find a syringe with the thinnest needle possible and inject a few ml of vodka into each tomato.

The vegetables will ripen almost instantly.

Taste qualities

Some summer residents are sure that a strong drink can have a direct impact on the taste of tomatoes. To do this, take a small bottle of vodka (250 ml) and dilute it in a bucket of water.

Afterwards, you can start spraying. This unusual feeding is done once a week. They start "treating" tomatoes with vodka in the middle of the first summer month. Four feedings will be quite enough.
