During the ripening of fruits, it is extremely important to water the plants properly.
This is especially true in the middle of summer, when the heat sets in for a long time.
Let's figure out what nuances need to be taken into account when watering plants.
How to water tomatoes
As soon as you see that the leaves of the plants have begun to droop, this is a sign that they urgently need watering.
It is best to water in the first half of the day, since the evaporation capacity of tomatoes decreases in the evening.
During the hottest part of the day, plants need to be watered twice a day. This can be done in the morning and in the afternoon.
And to ensure that moisture stays in the soil longer and your tomatoes avoid drying out, it is better to mulch the bed with straw or hay.
It is not recommended to use tap water due to its high chlorine content and low temperature. For watering tomatoes, settled water at room temperature is perfect.
The optimal volume of water required for each tomato bush is 1.25 liters.
