Important feeding for tomatoes in May: how to get 20 kilograms of fruit from 1 square meter with almost no effort
In order to harvest abundant tomatoes, it is important not to ignore the process of feeding them.
During the season, it is necessary to feed the plants 4 times to get a luxurious result.
Together with the expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , we will figure out what kind of fertilizers your tomatoes need.
Four types of tomato feeding
To get a great tomato harvest, be sure to feed the vegetables during the following periods of their growth:
- 2 weeks after transplanting into the ground;
- before flowering begins;
- before the appearance of ovaries;
- during fruiting.
If you want to remove 20 kg from one square meter of the plot, use proven organic and mineral fertilizers.
An effective organic solution is a mullein infusion. It is prepared as follows: 1 kilogram of manure is placed in a ten-liter bucket, filled with water, and left for a week. After that, all that remains is to strain and dilute with water to 10 liters, and then water the roots.
Tomatoes also need superphosphate and potassium sulfate. The first fertilizer is prepared at a rate of 5 tablespoons per 3 liters of warm water, the second - 1 tablespoon per 10 liters.
