Sometimes gardeners notice that tomatoes, despite favorable growing conditions, fill with color quite slowly.
There is one simple way that will help the owners of the plot to speed up the long-awaited harvest.
Let's figure out what needs to be done to make tomatoes turn red faster.
How to speed up the ripening of the crop
In fact, the secret is in watering. If you see that tomatoes do not fill with color for a long time, you should try to reduce watering.
This method allows the plant's growth to be artificially slowed down, causing it to redirect its energy to the ripening of the fruit.
However, it is important to take into account the fact that plants may begin to experience a lack of moisture as a result.
In this case, mulch will come to the rescue; you can even use simple grass mown on the site as mulch.
Mulch is laid in a layer of at least 15 centimeters on the beds where tomatoes grow. It is recommended to change the covering material at least 2-3 times per season.
