Do you dream of growing tomatoes that will please you not only with their taste, but also with their size?
It turns out that this is not a myth, but a reality available to everyone. According to the magazine "Gardeners' World" , there are several proven methods that will help you achieve giant fruits.
One of them is the correct formation of the bush. Leave only one or two stems, removing all the side shoots. This will allow the plant to direct all its energy to the development of large fruits.
It is equally important to feed tomatoes correctly. Gardening expert James Wong recommends using potassium fertilizers during flowering and fruit setting.
They help increase size and improve taste. Also, don't forget about magnesium and calcium, which prevent blossom-end rot.
Another secret is mulching. A layer of straw or compost around the plants retains moisture and protects the roots from overheating.
According to gardeners, this significantly increases yields.
Regular loosening of the soil also promotes better oxygen access to the roots.
Don't forget about regular watering. Tomatoes like moist soil, but not overwatering.
Use a drip system for even moisture distribution.
Water plants in the morning or evening to avoid moisture evaporation in hot weather.
Another important point is protection from diseases. Spray tomatoes with a milk solution (1 liter of milk per 10 liters of water) to prevent late blight.
