Experienced gardeners always put these 2 things in the hole before planting tomatoes: That's why they resist blight and bear fruit until autumn
The time for planting tomatoes has begun, and experienced gardeners have their tricks, which we bring you in this text
TL;DR
- Tomatoes require special care for abundant, delicious fruit.
- Experienced gardeners add compost to the planting hole to provide long-term root nutrition and improve soil health by increasing organic matter and water retention.
- Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with tomato roots, increasing their surface area significantly, which enhances water and nutrient absorption, improves drought and disease resistance, and reduces the need for mineral fertilizers.
- Tomatoes can develop roots along any part of their stem, so planting them deeply or even sideways, with part of the stem buried, encourages a larger root system.
- Removing leaves from the lower part of the stem and burying it, either laid sideways or straight down, promotes a stronger plant with increased yields and better resistance to drought and pests.
