Tomatoes respond well to additional feeding, which careful summer residents carefully apply during the gardening season. Ash is a nutrient for tomatoes. But you need to use the feeding correctly.

Details

First of all, you should not take the ash that remains after burning household garbage or an old fence. The material left over from ordinary logs will do.

Ash is used in dry form. There are three periods when its use is permissible: growing seedlings, transplanting into the soil, and fruiting. This will protect plants from fungal diseases and provide seedlings with additional microelements for nutrition.

During the period of planting seedlings, the soil can be fertilized with ash in advance. You will need 200 g per 1 sq. m. The permissible option for applying ash to the hole is 2 tbsp. l. per seedling.

During flowering and fruiting, the soil around tomatoes is sprinkled with ash. The procedure is carried out after rain or heavy watering. 50 g of ash is allocated for each bush.
