It can be said that of all the important activities in the garden in summer, the most important is watering the plantings. It is worth paying attention to this issue because improper watering is not much better than its absence.
We will tell you how to water tomatoes correctly in hot weather.
In hot weather, tomatoes are among the crops that require careful and regular watering.
But this does not mean that you need to pour water onto the garden bed with buckets or from a hose.
How to water tomatoes correctly
In hot summer, tomatoes are watered at intervals of once every two days.
Water consumption can reach ½ a bucket per bush, but everything depends on the air temperature and soil condition.
If the garden bed dries out while you are away from the dacha, then water the tomatoes more often, but pour no more than one liter of water per bush at a time.
With each new procedure, which is carried out after the moisture has been absorbed, the volume of water per bush is increased by approximately 250-300 ml.
This technique allows you to fully water the tomatoes and saturate the soil with moisture.
And if you pour out the entire volume of water at once, it can quickly be absorbed into the soil and not help the plants.
