The weather at the end of summer is not very stable and gardeners are the ones who react most sharply to temperature changes.
At the end of summer, you really want the harvest to ripen and not die from cold or disease, especially when it comes to tomatoes.
To ensure that several months of work are not wasted, you can speed up the ripening of tomatoes using available or even improvised means right on the bushes.
This is what summer residents are advised to do with tomatoes in August.
Iodine supplementation
Experienced gardeners assure that the most common iodine, which is available in any pharmacy, can help in this matter.
At this time, it acts as a stimulant on plants, causing tomatoes to turn red faster.
How to proceed
To prepare the nutrient mixture, add 30 drops of iodine to 10 liters of water.
Mix the solution, pour it into a sprayer and spray the bushes with it.
In addition to the fact that the solution is a stimulant for the ripening of tomatoes, it will protect seedlings from diseases and pests, strengthening the plant's immunity.
