Soil also plays an important role in growing tomatoes; it should be well fertilized in the fall, adding humus and digging it over for the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fertilizers for tomatoes:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Potassium and phosphorus fertilizers are poured onto the surface of the soil and dug in;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • if the soil is acidic, add lime;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bird droppings are one of the most effective fertilizers, as they contain nitrogen, organic matter, and other beneficial substances. Spread them over the soil and dig them in;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Wood ash and compost are also very useful for the growth, development and fruiting of tomatoes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    When planting tomato seedlings, avoid using mineral fertilizers, as they stimulate flower set and fruit formation, and at this stage, it’s still too early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is advisable not to apply fertilizers when planting vegetables in the spring; it is better and more effective to fertilize the soil in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Before planting the seedlings, a day before, water the soil with a solution of potassium permanganate and yeast (10 g of yeast per 10 liters of water).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let the solution sit for 24 hours. Pour 220 ml of the solution into each hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wood ash contains a lot of potassium, so we pour 100 g of ash into the holes, add a layer of fertile soil on top and plant the seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ten days after planting the seedlings, water them with a solution of water and manure in a ratio of 1:15. Sprinkle with ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Onion peels, which you place in handfuls into the holes, protect tomatoes from pests and diseases, strengthen them, and activate growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can pour boiling water over onion peels and let the solution steep for 10 hours. Before watering tomatoes, dilute the solution with water 4 to 20 \u2013 this will protect against fungal diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The same solution should be used to spray plants during the fruit setting period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Eggshells also enrich the soil with nutrients. Crush them and sprinkle a small amount into the planting holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Helpful tips:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • July is the month when the fruits fill out and are ready to ripen. Don’t water more than once a week;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • to make tomatoes ripen faster, add 1 cap of ammonia to the water;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A nutrient solution of yeast \u2013 50 g per bucket of water in June \u2013 will help vegetables protect themselves from diseases and strengthen their root system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
