As you know, water is essential for all living things on Earth, and tomatoes are no exception.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what kind of water should be used for watering tomato beds in order to get a decent tomato harvest.

As the experience of gardeners who have seen this life shows, crops grown in the garden, including tomatoes, should only be watered with warm water.

It is better to avoid using liquid extracted from a well or a water supply system, since its temperature is usually only +4… +7 degrees.

If you ignore this requirement, it means that you will subject the plants to stress, which may cause their growth to stop.

It is possible that in such conditions, capricious plants will even begin to get sick.

So here's some advice for you - get yourself a large barrel that you fill with water and place it in a well-lit area. This way you'll always have plenty of water at the right temperature for watering.

Another important rule: you should water tomatoes at the roots, trying to avoid splashes that can get on the delicate leaves and cause a burn.

In addition, drops of moisture on the stem and leaves often lead to the development of fungal diseases.
