You know what fertilizers are, but it is not always possible to apply these or other, because when the bushes start to see fruits, it is absolutely impossible to use chemistry for spraying, so you will not get an ecologically clean harvest. How to make, let's look. You must first prepare the soil in the fall, after planting the seedlings in the ground. It is also necessary to give food to the seedlings so that it increases the green mass and is not thin and brittle, otherwise the tomatoes will sit for a long time and not give the ovary, and already after doing the processing of the tomatoes during flowering.

If the soil is poor, then feed 3-4 times a little, you need 5-6 times per season. If you are applying organic, then mineral fertilizers should be used in smaller quantities. At a permanent place, when the seedlings began, the nitrogen in the feed should be minimal so that the bushes do not outgrow. Complex drugs contribute every 14 days. You can spill them first, after organic alternating. When the fruits begin to ripen, it is better to cancel all chemistry, and use natural food or popular advice, so as not to spoil the harvest.

Tomatoes grow poorly. How to feed?

Of course, the plot you have to cook in the fall. After the harvest has been removed, it needs to be dug up and fed, it is best to use potash and phosphorus-based fertilizers at this stage.The first ones contain chlorine in the composition, it is harmful for tomatoes, but during the winter it will go deep into the soil, and phosphorus will also become so shaped that tomatoes will absorb it well. You can dig the soil with weeds. Further, you will make feeding, when you plant seedlings, and it is better to use the nitrogen species here, because you need a green mass now so that the stems do not stretch out.

You can make and organic during digging - at the rate of square meter you bring eight pounds of the mixture - in equal parts litter, manure, compost, peat and 50 grams of superphosphate. You can also bury weeds or plant green manure plants.

In the seedling phase of the house, you can apply 2-3 times a solution of dry yeast - five grams per five liters. While planting in the soil you already add a more serious feed in the form of superphosphate - a complex of nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and sulfur. This feed reduces acidification, gives immunity and nourishes your tomatoes. One of the most sought after and effective tools.

After two weeks in a permanent place

So, your seedlings should already be well received. It is time to make a complex mineral fertilizer and this is nitrophoska. In its composition in the optimal balance of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. One liter uses half a teaspoon of fertilizer. Under the bushes need at least 500 grams of fertilizer. Also, about a week after planting the seedlings to a permanent place, you can shed the area with a weak solution of manganese, which will help the seedlings and save you from the pathogenic environment, which also may prevent your tomatoes from growing and developing.

Feed throughout the season for flowering and ovary

Two weeks passed after the first watering of the seedlings at a new place, it is time to apply fertilizer once again. In a bucket of water dissolve a tablespoonful of potassium sulfate, 500 grams of litter. Under the bushes to pour such food in the amount of half a liter.

Or there is another option to feed a tomato during the flowering period. In a bucket of water, dissolve the nitrophobia a tablespoonful and pour a liter for each tomato. In the same period, you can also apply spraying from the defeat of diseases that also inhibit the growth and development of culture - pour calcium nitrate with a spoon in a bucket of water and spray the bushes.

To make the ovary begin to form better and faster, use this recipe - in a bucket of water (hot) dissolve two liters of ash and 10 grams of boric acid, let the mixture stand for 24 hours, and pour a liter under each bush. This feed also helps well from parasites in the soil. Make sure that the ground under the bushes is slightly wet every day, but not wet and with a crust, so the risk of developing diseases and reproduction of parasites will not increase, which will affect flowering, ovary and future crops.

You can also sprinkle tomatoes with boric acid on the ovary - 10 grams of acid dissolve in a bucket of hot water, then spray the ground next to the bushes, first pour the tomatoes first so that the roots do not get burned. This recipe helps a lot. If you want to spray the bushes with this solution, then do not take more teaspoon of tea boric acid on a bucket of hot water, so as not to burn the leaves.

You can also add 2-3 times this fertilizer - dissolve in a bucket of water mullein 15 grams and potassium sulfate - 20 grams. You can take and chicken droppings, which are bred in a ratio of 1:20. You can alternate all these feeds, remember that we told you about the finished products, which can also be used to feed tomatoes during flowering and tying, but follow the intervals of 2-3 weeks.

When tomatoes already form fruits, then chemistry is better not to use, you can spray the bushes and spill the infusion of nettle, which wandered for a week. You can also drop 3-4 drops of iodine into a bucket and use it for spraying.

All these feeds can help you get a great harvest, the results can be seen very soon after you have fertilized.
