After traditionally growing tomatoes using seedlings and transplanting them into open ground, they need to be fed to give them a good start in growth.
The fertilizer consists of soda, ash and yeast. You don't need to take other industrial fertilizers to get natural, environmentally friendly home-grown tomatoes.
With this fertilizer, even the smallest tomatoes grow as big as a fist.
It is worth starting this type of feeding at the end of May or beginning of June and continuing until mid-July:
Feeding with soda
Once every 2 weeks, starting from planting in a greenhouse or open ground, feed the tomatoes by dissolving 10 teaspoons of baking soda in a 10-liter watering can of water.
Tomato bushes then grow faster, bloom and bear fruit more abundantly, the leaves do not turn yellow and pests do not appear.
This solution can be poured under the roots and on top of the leaves, without sparing. Usually this should be done in the evening.
You can also add some more liquid soap, about 1 tablespoon.
Watering with wood ash
Pour a glass of ash into a 10-liter watering can, fill it with water, mix well and immediately water the soil in the tomato bed.
It is advisable to do this once a week.
Dry yeast feeding
Mix a packet of dry yeast weighing 11 grams in a bucket of water and leave in the sun for 3 hours.
Use a ladle or a jar to scoop the solution out of the bucket and water the tomatoes little by little under the roots. Water the tomatoes with this solution once a week.
Before any fertilizing, the plant should be watered with plain water.
As a result, tomatoes grow large and sweet as honey. But if you feed tomatoes more often than necessary, you can end up with only tops.
