Not always the most expensive fertilizers give the best result. Many experienced gardeners have already for decades used a simple feeding that helps tomatoes fill large fruits, improves their taste and supports the bushes during fruiting.

The main thing is to prepare it correctly and not exceed the recommended dosage.

What will be needed

For preparing the solution take:

1 liter of wood ash; 10 liters of warm water.

Mix the mixture and leave to infuse for a day. Then strain the solution so that the watering can does not get clogged.

How to apply

Under each adult bush pour 1 liter of the ready infusion only on previously moist soil. It is best to carry out the feeding in the evening or in cloudy weather.

It is enough to repeat the procedure once every 10–14 days during the period of active fruit filling.

Why this works

Wood ash contains a large amount of potassium, calcium, phosphorus and other microelements. Exactly potassium is responsible for the accumulation of sugars in the fruits, makes the tomatoes more meaty, aromatic and helps them ripen faster.

In addition, such a feeding strengthens the plants and makes them more resistant to temperature fluctuations.

Important: do not use ash simultaneously with nitrogen fertilizers or fresh manure. Between such feedings at least a week must pass.

If tomatoes are regularly fed with this old, proven method, the bushes will thank with a rich harvest, and the fruits will grow large, dense and truly sweet.
