If tomatoes are grown outdoors, watering is completely stopped during the rainy season. During severe drought, their number is increased up to 2-3 times a week. Only warm, settled water is used for irrigation.
- Loosening the soil. The purpose of the procedure is to enrich the soil with oxygen and stimulate the growth of the bush.It is carried out after a thick crust appears on the surface of the earth. This most often occurs after heavy rains.
- Tying. Although the bushes are not tall, they are best tied to a wooden or iron support. This will allow the seedlings to take root well. The stakes are driven in at a distance of 10-15 cm from the stem to a depth of about 35 cm.
- Top dressing. Usually, feeding is carried out three times per season, but sometimes it is necessary to do them every 2 weeks. As a fertilizer, the soil is fed with a complex mixture of organic and mineral substances. The main thing is that the nitrogen concentration is low. The most commonly used are ammonium nitrate, mullein, superphosphate, bird droppings, potassium chloride. When the tomatoes bloom, be sure to apply root dressing from boric solution.
