When tomatoes begin to actively gain weight, it is time to apply fertilizer.

Thanks to additional nutrition, the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh is sure that the fruits will not only be large in size, but also have a sweet taste.

The first feeding should be done when the fruits have just begun to grow.

For this, you can use a solution prepared from 10 liters of water, 20 g of ammonium nitrate and the same amount of potassium sulfate.

The same composition should be added a month after the first feeding.

But to improve the taste of tomatoes, a fertilizer containing a large number of various microelements, for example, "Cytovit", will help. In this case, about 1.5 ml of the preparation will be needed for 3 liters of water.

The Cytovit solution should be used once every three weeks for spraying.

Finally, sweet tomatoes will need to be fed with a solution based on wood ash.

Mix several glasses filled with wood burning residue in 10 liters of water, and the next day, when the solution has infused, water the beds.
