Growing tomatoes is not easy; the crop is sensitive to diseases and pests.
Incorrect watering and sudden temperature changes will negatively affect the quality and quantity of the future tomato harvest.
Soil plays an important role in growing plants. It is impossible to grow healthy plants on poor and infertile soil. Fertilizers solve the problem.
How to properly feed tomatoes
Experienced gardeners apply fertilizers in the fall and dig up the soil for the winter.
For tomatoes, choose potassium-phosphorus fertilizers; lime is added to acidic soils.
When planting tomatoes, you should not get carried away with mineral fertilizers. At this stage, it is too early to activate the ovary of flowers and the formation of fruits.
A day before planting the seedlings, the soil is watered with a yeast solution. To prepare it, take 5 g of fresh yeast per 5 liters of warm water and let it stand for a day. Add up to 200-300 ml of the prepared fertilizer to each hole.
Ash
Wood ash is an ideal fertilizer for tomatoes.
Natural fertilizer contains important minerals: potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium. The introduction of ash will promote the development of green mass and fruiting.
It is enough to pour one handful of ash into each hole.
