How to tie tomatoes and why do you need to do it? This method will help to avoid many problems, and tomato seedlings will “thank you”
Tomato tying should begin as soon as the seedlings are planted. Thanks to this, the plant develops better. However, if you haven’t done it yet, prepare the necessary things and immediately go to or on the balcony. It is worth tying not only the main shoot, but also the individual twigs on which the tomatoes develop. Thanks to this, the plant will be stable, and the twigs will not bend so much under the weight of vegetables. JIf we leave it alone, the twigs will quickly touch the ground, the tomatoes will bruise and rot, and you will reap a much smaller crop. Tie up the twigs will also make the plant grow more luxuriantly, and the tomatoes will be able to draw from it much better what is most valuable. Such a treatment will make them riper, bigger and much tastier.
What string for tying tomatoes will work best? The best gardeners have been using this technique for years
To tie up the tomatoes, you need wooden stakes, PVC tubing, metal rods or bamboo poles. It is not worth using the string, which can damage the delicate parts of the plant. However, it is worth tying twigs with foil or wider strips of material.
It is enough to stick the wood into the ground near the seedlings, and then tie the main shoot and some twigs to it. It is especially worth securing the ones on which the tomatoes develop so that they do not fall down and do not hit the ground. It has been assumed that plants up to 50 cm long are enough to be tied in one place, and taller plants in two or even three places, so that the tomatoes grow really stable. Remember to allow the tomatoes to grow freely when tying, but only provide them with a perfect support, thanks to which they will develop better.
