Once planted, the soil must be watered. Then, once a week, loosen the ground, feed, water. If the bush reaches a great length, then it is tied up.
Tomato care
Hybrid planting is always a must. If everything is done wrong, you should not expect high yields.
- Planting seeds should start in March-April. New seeds are used each time, as the seed from the tomato will not produce such good fruits.
- You cannot water such crops with cold water; you should not water the leaves, but the ground near the root.
- Loosening of the soil is done once a week. Sand, hay, humus are added to the soil.
- When the harvest comes, the plant must be fed with phosphorus.
- Dry or brown leaves should be plucked.
- The care list includes cutting off the stepsons from the foliage.
In the southern regions, the bushes usually do not need to cut off the shoots, where the plant copes on its own during full fruiting and growth.
Stealing
In northern latitudes, it is customary pinch tomatoes, since the plant itself cannot cope with the harmonious growth and formation of the required number of fruits.
Stepsons are multiple shoots that arise in foliage. The most mature stepson is chosen, and everyone else is cut off on the main stem. This is necessary so that the bush is not so thick, not completely overgrown with foliage. The food will go into the leaves, and gardeners need the bush to bear many tasty juicy fruits. When there is a lot of foliage, various diseases arise, there is little light for vegetables.
This operation should be carried out at least three times a month, until one stem with several leaves and fruits remains. Basically, shoots are cut off, on which the leaves have not yet had time to fully open. There is nothing difficult in pinning, the main thing is to do everything right.
