Many experienced gardeners feed tomatoes with iodine.
Such gardeners understand that the product brings enormous benefits to the crop.
Why feed tomatoes with iodine
There are two reasons. First: an alcohol solution of iodine can act as a great fertilizer.
Thanks to this component, the fruits will ripen very quickly.
The second reason: iodine is not only a fertilizer, but also a remedy against one serious disease.
We are talking about late blight, which tomatoes encounter quite often.
Thus, the correct use of iodine in a tomato bed is a guarantee of obtaining a huge amount of absolutely healthy, large, fleshy, juicy and sweet fruits.
How to make a tomato remedy from iodine
Take a standard bucket and fill it with plain water.
Add a little iodine solution from a bottle taken from the first aid kit to the liquid. Do not overdo it with the component: four drops are enough, no more is needed.
Next, water the tomatoes with the prepared solution. Each plant should receive two liters of liquid.
For reference
Tomato is an annual or perennial herbaceous plant, a species of the genus Solanum of the Solanaceae family.
