What cannot be fertilized with Tomatoes, otherwise you may be left without a Harvest at all

You can talk and argue about what you need to fertilize tomatoes for good fruiting, it seems endless.

But it is not so often in popular science articles for gardeners that fertilizers, instead of promoting the yield of tomatoes, can damage their cultivation.

So it turns out that some, like me, learn from their own bitter experience! And I hope my view on harmful fertilizers will be useful to someone.

Yeast

This means simply yeast diluted with water and poured under the root. In theory, yeast is beneficial for tomatoes - as a means of stimulating them to more actively absorb nutrients from the soil, enhancing the processes of photosynthesis.

But yeast itself does not contain minerals valuable for any vegetables, and therefore, if nothing else is fertilized except for them, they will begin to wither.

Fresh manure

An excellent fertilizer for applying during the autumn digging of the site. If the gardener applies manure in the spring, he thereby supplies the tomatoes with a huge amount of nitrogen.

As a result, vegetables begin to fatten. This means a plentiful increase in green mass, which occurs to the detriment of fruiting. In addition, an excess of nitrogen reduces the tomato's immunity to one of the main diseases of this crop - late blight. All this has to do with manure of any origin - cow, horse and goat.

Jam and sugar

Fermented berry supplies and sugar are often advised to be added to folk remedies with yeast and green grass. Indoor plants do not perceive this badly, but in the garden, open ground or a greenhouse is a special world that exists according to its own rules.

Sugar does not in any way improve the fruiting of tomatoes, but it can powerfully contribute to the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms in the ground, as well as lure some insect pests.

Peat

It is important to emphasize that this fertilization is appropriate for tomatoes only in the middle of summer, when the air temperature stably above + 15 ° C on most days.

When peat is applied as a garden fertilizer in cold weather, it decomposes too slowly, the soil accumulates some specific substances.

Tomatoes from this can form few ovaries or begin to absorb water worse during watering and then the quality of the crop decreases due to the tendency of the fruits to crack.
