Instead of fruits you will get only greens. Don't repeat these mistakes when growing tomatoes

To grow tomatoes with good fruit, you need to put in a lot of effort.

But it's worth it if you get a rich harvest of juicy, tasty tomatoes.

However, gardeners often make mistakes, as a result of which they see only greenery instead of fruit.

What are these mistakes and how to avoid them?

This question was answered by an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Mistake number 1

The soil is too nutritious. Tomatoes don't like this kind of soil.

To avoid excess, do not add manure, including in the fall, or cow dung.

With an excess of nutrients, tomatoes will more actively grow green mass, while the fruits will disappoint with their scarcity.

Error number 2

Excessive watering is also harmful for tomatoes, and in the first 2-3 weeks of planting, there is no need to water the plants at all.

The water you poured into the holes when planting is quite enough for them during this period.

Watering should be moderate until the fruits begin to set on the first cluster.

However, do not allow the soil to dry out, so that the plants do not stop growing and the flowers do not fall off.

When the fruits begin to fill out en masse, you can increase watering.

Error number 3

Overfeeding with nitrogen. Avoid excess nitrogen fertilizers.

The fact is that nitrogen stimulates the growth of green mass, while fruiting, on the contrary, will be very modest.
