Sometimes a summer resident wants the fruits on tomato bushes to ripen much faster.

And it is quite easy to achieve such a result.

There is no need to experiment with feeding, watering or removing any parts of the plant.

It is enough to simply put one thing under the tomatoes.

What thing are we talking about?

The most common food foil helps to speed up the ripening of tomatoes.

The fact is that this metal “paper” easily reflects the sun’s rays, which are necessary for the full growth and development of garden crops.

Thus, if foil is placed on the soil under the tomato bushes, the garden crop will receive more light.

There will be no problems with fruiting. Moreover, the vegetables will form quite quickly.

It is also worth emphasizing that the use of foil is encouraged when growing tomato seedlings.

If there are “mirror” walls around the container with soil and sprouts, the seedlings will be quite strong.
