The secret is to carry out the right procedure at the right time.
Most gardeners fertilize tomatoes during the process of planting seedlings. They throw fertilizers directly into the hole.
Some use folk remedies: raw fish, yeast, eggshells or banana peels. Others use complex mineral compositions.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told when it is best to feed tomatoes.
To ensure that your tomato harvest is enviable, it is better to fertilize the plants not when planting seedlings, but when the fruits have already set.
The thing is that, if tomatoes end up in very nutritious soil, they can start to "grow fat". The bushes will grow powerful foliage, stems, and there may be few fruits.
At the initial stage, the seedlings will have enough nutrition to take root, strengthen the vegetative mass and set fruit. When this happens, the plants will need additional feeding.
Then it is worth adding nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium. Thanks to these minerals, tomatoes grow large, juicy, sweet and get sick less often.
