How to properly tie tomatoes

From early spring, summer cottages literally come to life, people dig, loosen, plant in order to get a good harvest in summer and autumn. Any gardener wants to grow a rich harvest of tomatoes that will be the envy of all his neighbors; some succeed, while others do not. Summer residents often say that some crops love them and grow well, while others don’t like them and don’t grow at all. But the point here is different, you need to know how to care for the plants, what to feed them with, how often to water them, if you want to grow large and tasty tomatoes, then you need to know how to properly tie up the tomatoes.

In theory, amateur gardeners know when to plant, how to grow tomatoes, and are often even satisfied with the result of their work, but if you do everything correctly and master some tricks, you can increase your tomato yield significantly.

If everything is more or less clear with growing seedlings and planting time, then few people know how to properly tie up tomatoes.

There are several important points here.

• care must be taken to ensure that the fruits do not come into contact with the ground;
• even low-growing tomato bushes need to be tied up;
• for tying, you cannot use wire, fishing line or thin ropes; it is better to cut old nylon tights, of which every woman has plenty;
• do not use ropes from last season for tying to avoid possible infection.

If you tie up even small bushes, they begin to form a powerful root system, they become stronger, therefore, more nutrients are delivered to the tomatoes. The peg must be driven into the ground when planting tomatoes, approximately 10 cm from the bush, and immediately tied with a figure eight. You can also use trellises to tie tomatoes, in this case the consumption of rope will be reduced.
