Tomatoes need to be watered quite frequently.
If we are talking about a cool period, then the procedure should be performed twice a week. Each bush should receive about 5 liters of liquid.
During hot periods, it is advisable to water tomatoes once every 2 days or more generously.
What should a summer resident do if he doesn’t have the opportunity to visit his country plot so often?
Such a gardener can use one little trick, which was told by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Lifehack with tomatoes and a plastic bottle
Take several large plastic bottles. Ideally, containers with a capacity of 5 liters each.
Cut off the bottom of each bottle. Bury one container near each tomato plant.
All containers should be inverted. In other words, the neck should "look" down, not up.
Fill each "funnel" with plain water. Eventually the soil will slowly begin to soak in the liquid.
The root system of tomatoes will have constant access to moisture.
As a result, there will be no need for constant watering of tomatoes. The summer resident will not have to come to the country plot too often.
The positive result of the life hack is worth securing. Cover the soil with mulch.
The main rules for effective watering of plants were listed earlier.
