Growing tomatoes is a relatively difficult task for a gardener, as this plant requires care.
Many summer residents try to grow beautiful tomatoes in large quantities.
They monitor the condition of the soil, pay attention to fertilizers, pests, temperature conditions and other factors.
Expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds us of the benefits of green manure.
What plants can be planted before tomatoes
Green manure for tomatoes loosens the soil and enriches it with nitrogen. They also deliver minerals from the depths of the soil to the crop.
Tomatoes may benefit from pre-planting with phacelia, which grows quickly, prevents weeds from growing, and decomposes quickly after mowing.
Also suitable as green manure are all legumes and cruciferous crops, as well as cereals - wheat, oats and rye.
Green manure plants have a huge impact on the yield and general condition of crops, including tomatoes.
