If, while analyzing the growth of vegetable beds, you notice that the tomatoes have started to crack, you need to urgently determine the cause.
It will be impossible to store or prepare such a harvest.
It is always important to remember that tomatoes will not "crack" without a reason.
What should you pay attention to?
Don't "flood" tomatoes with water
Many people think that during the fruiting period, tomatoes' need for moisture increases. Therefore, they begin to increase the volume of water.
As a result, the tomatoes crack right in the garden.
Remember that the only signal for watering can be the condition of the soil: as soon as the soil becomes dry, we begin watering. There is no need to increase the volume of water.
You can't "overfeed" tomatoes
It is not without reason that experienced gardeners have schemes for applying fertilizers. If you add more nutrients than required, the results can be unpredictable.
At best, the tomatoes will crack.
However, there are cases when tomatoes become a real chemical table, so eating them is simply dangerous to your health.
