Have you ever noticed that some people's tomatoes ripen in bunches like grapes, while others' tomatoes wither before they even have time to set?
It's not about magic fertilizers or expensive varieties, but about how you treat your plants from the start.
Imagine: you plant seedlings, water them, but instead of growing upward, they begin to bush out, forming dozens of new shoots.
Each of them turns into a separate branch covered with flowers in a month. Sounds like science fiction? In fact, this is an ancient technique that modern summer residents have forgotten.
We are talking about side shoots - removing extra shoots. But there is a nuance here that changes everything. Most people advise to tear off side shoots when they reach 5-7 cm, but the real secret is to do it... without doing it at all.
Or rather, do not touch the first two stepsons that appear at the base of the plant. They, contrary to all recommendations, become the basis for a powerful bush.
If you let them develop, the tomato will begin to grow not upwards, but outwards, forming more clusters.
Of course, such a bush requires garters and more space, but the result will be stunning: you can collect up to 10-15 kg of fruit from one plant.
The main thing is not to forget to feed it once every two weeks with a mixture of ash, iodine and whey.
