Trellis for tomatoes

In summer cottages you can often see luxurious tomato bushes with a lot of leaves, but the harvest from such bushes is not at all large. But in greenhouses you can see the opposite picture - the bushes are almost without leaves, but are strewn with tomatoes. What is the reason for this? It turns out that the point here is not at all in different varieties, but in the fact that if you use a trellis for tomatoes, then you can collect much more fruit from the bush, and if tall varieties of tomatoes are grown without a trellis, then the harvest will be half as much.

Some summer residents do not like to bother with trellises and tie up bushes, so they choose low-growing varieties of tomatoes that can grow without support and do not require special attention. But there is also a drawback to such cultivation: you should not expect large fruits from low-growing bushes, the harvest from such plants is meager, and the taste of tomatoes leaves much to be desired.

A tomato trellis helps to significantly increase the yield per unit area, and also guarantees a harvest even in unfavorable weather. This device is especially advantageous to use in an area with a limited area where trees and shrubs grow.

When growing tomatoes, you should remember that they do not like shading; shaded bushes without a trellis begin to fight for light, the stem lengthens, the foliage grows, and the number of fruits decreases.

If you use trellises, you can plant 3 tomato bushes per square meter.If you pinch the top leaves a month before the last harvest from the bush, you can speed up the ripening of the fruits, they will become larger, but the yield will decrease.

Tying tomatoes to a trellis is usually done in greenhouses; this is done to give the tomatoes a vertical position in order to save space.
