How often do you water your tomatoes after planting them in their permanent location?
Even in such a simple process as watering, you can make a lot of mistakes that will lead to a decrease in yield.
One of the most common mistakes is over-watering the seedlings after planting for a couple of weeks.
Many gardeners begin to water the seedlings abundantly in order to ensure a sufficient flow of moisture, but because of this, the roots of the tomatoes become oversaturated with water and cannot develop normally.
If you keep tomato roots constantly wet, they will not be able to grow properly – sometimes they may even rot.
Excessively frequent watering can lead to stagnation of growth and development, which leads to a decrease in yield.
Therefore, even if the top layer dries out a lot, you should not rush to water. It is also important to take into account the weather forecast.
If it is extremely hot, the amount of water can be increased slightly.
