Mandatory feeding Tomato during flowering, which I use from year to year

There are no minor trifles in growing tomatoes - the timing of planting seedlings, removal of stepchildren, pest control... For a rich harvest, you need a whole range of agricultural techniques!

But it is especially important to take care of this crop during the flowering period. The fact is that valuable substances coming to tomatoes at this time have a powerful effect on the viability of plants, their immunity and future fruiting.

Having tried many advertised means, I decided to act smarter - I turned to books written for professional vegetable growers, looked into scientific articles on botany. And I realized what kind of top dressing is necessary for flowering tomatoes!

Many gardeners know the benefits of herbal infusions - they enhance the processes of photosynthesis in fed crops and have a positive effect on the number of ovaries formed, strengthen the stems of the bushes.

If you add manure to this, it will have time to decompose to a form that is easily digestible by tomatoes and will contribute so that the maximum energy of the bushes is directed to the ripening of fruits, and not to maintain green deciduous masses.

Naturally, before the flowering period, it will not be superfluous to thin out the tomato bushes, fighting thickening.

Wood ash is useful in that it normalizes the acidity of the soil, and also reduces the risk of fungal diseases that can ruin all prospects of the crop during the flowering period.

I prepare nutritional supplements from the described components according to the following recipe:

1. I put 2 buckets of nettle in a container with a volume of 100 liters.

2. I add 0.5 buckets of cow dung or 2 times less chicken dung.

3. I fall asleep 5 glasses of wood ash.

4. I pour in 1.5 liters of milk.

5. I fill it up to the top with water as much as it can fit.

6. I mix everything well, cover the container with a lid and leave it for 10-14 days, periodically opening it to allow gases to escape and mix.

After the specified time, the infusion can be filtered and without diluting, used to feed tomatoes. Spending 1 liter per bush.

Milk may seem completely superfluous - but it is needed in the recipe in order to enhance the ongoing fermentation processes and suppress the development of bacteria that are pathogenic for plants.

Naturally, it is necessary to apply the product after the usual watering - this way the plants absorb valuable elements better and there is no risk of burning their root system.
