How to water tomatoes

At the end of summer, tomatoes that grow in open ground do not require much water. The fact is that they remain in the beds until the fruit ripens.

Watering is carried out only if the plants have completely drooped.

Tomatoes in greenhouses are watered less frequently and at the same time the amount of water is reduced.

It is believed that it is enough to water them once a week.
