Why experienced growers fed tomatoes iodine?
I always envied neighbor harvest - grandmother Shura. She took out of her old, already sagging teplichke in the garden the whole basket of large tomatoes, which after ripening on the windowsill became scarlet. Once I tasted the tomatoes from my grandmother Shura - they were sugar and sweet. And what flavor!
This year, I still asked her neighbor: "What's the secret?" And Granny told me that using fertilizer... ordinary iodine! And at the same time and told me the recipe, which I will share with you below. I read in the internet for reviews of other growers, and research. It turns out that for tomatoes iodine really works wonders!
