  1. Soil acidity - 5.5-6.5 pH. With excessive acidity, the tomatoes will be sick: a fungus, an attack of microbes and viruses. On alkaline soils tomato leaves turn yellow - chlorophyll is poorly formed. How to rectify the situation? You can “acidify” the soil with lime, and lower the acidity with sulphate granules.
  2. Known the highest quality and popular varietiesare the most resistant to diseases "from the outside." But we must not forget about the survival of varieties in different regions of Russia.
  3. Tomatoes love space. Between the bushes should be about 40-60 cm, and between the beds - 90-1 meters. So the rhizomes will take enough water and nutrients, not depriving each other. The fruits of this, of course, will be reflected in the best way.
  4. But it is not enough to give freedom to the roots, still need to eliminate competitors - weeds. The more often tomatoes because of them "starve", the harvest will be poorer.
  5. To make new roots - this is how the root system develops, which improves the nutrition of the plant, - it is necessary to spud tomato bushes.
  6. The younger the seedlings, the more often they need to be watered.. Quite young - every day, without wetting the leaves and stem. Then - less. In the hot and dry period - once in 7-10 days. And so that the soil does not crack and does not lose oxygen, you need to loosen it, but only when the water is well absorbed and the soil is dry, but not before watering.
  7. You also need to not miss the moment of tying. Strongly overgrown bushes break under the weight of their fruits, which can be immediately considered lost.
  8. Chicken droppings, ash is what most gardeners feed tomatoes. Get it is not difficult and not expensive, especially in the village.
  9. It is better to allocate a place in the garden for different varieties: first - early, then - mid-season, and then - later. So the season of picking tomatoes will last all summer.
  10. Do not plant tomatoes after corn and potatoesand also next door to them. It is better if it will be asparagus, carrots, celery, cucumbers, onions and peppers.

If you do not relate to the cultivation of fruit "slipshots", then they will bear fruit for glory. There are many more tips on this topic, but the main thing never changes.
