Even if the tomatoes grew beautiful and healthy, this does not mean that they will please you with their taste.

To get a decent harvest, you need to provide the plants with enough sunlight - for this, you should plant tomatoes rarely, be sure to tie them up and take care to remove side shoots and excess leaves.

And, of course, we won’t be able to do without additional feeding.

The first time you should add fertilizers that contain a large amount of nitrogen. To do this, dilute a mullein scoop in 10 liters of water and leave it to infuse for 5-7 days.

For irrigation, the resulting concentrate should be diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 5.

The next feeding is done before flowering using green fermentation. To prepare it, you will need to pour water over fresh grass and leave it for 5-7 days.

Dilute the infusion with water in a ratio of 1 to 10 and you can start watering.

When tomatoes start to flower, they need to be sprayed with boric acid, and during the filling and ripening of the fruits, use ash - it will saturate the plants with phosphorus, potassium, boron, manganese and copper, which are responsible for the sweetness of the fruits.
