Perhaps, somewhere deep down I'm a perfectionist - like when the house is clean, the garden order, and in the garden - smooth and beautiful tomatoes. But I, probably like many gardeners, often cracked tomatoes collected from your siteThat I, of course, not happy. First, they had to eat in the first place, and secondly, tomatoes with "defect" were unsuitable for salting, and in the third - from a purely aesthetic point of view, they looked not so.
Of course, I started looking for a way out of this situation, because such a prospect for the future I have already not happy with - well, do you remember who I am by nature. So, through trial and error, as well as by the method of "magic spear" I was able to calculate the two errors that are allowed in the process of growing tomatoes. As soon as I get rid of them with beds disappeared tomatoes with cracks. So now I will share with you my observations, I hope they will help many.
The first thing I noticed - watering. Yes, I admit, I myself have sinned excessive pouring tomato beds when there was the opportunity to escape to the country during the week. But, as it turned out, watered "with a stock" is much worse than not water at all. And all because lishnyaya moisture is just the same negative impact on fruit - they burst and become watery. But if in my tasteful tomato everything was normal, as soon as I stopped to fill the beds, tomatoes are no longer to crack.
By the way, problem with irregular watering, I decided to help mulch - so the soil remains wet for much longer, creating a comfortable environment for plants growth, so to fill the beds for the future just does not make sense.
The next item - feeding. I have to say, with tomato gardener began my life, so it is with them, and there was quite a lot of neponyatok. At that time, I just did was fascinated by the study of feedings, so that your favorite recipes tested in their own tomato beds. All anything, but in this matter the main thing - to stop in time, because dressing can be applied only until the fruit. It is this error was the main cause of cracked tomatoes that are just from an overabundance of "chemistry" grew unevenly, resulting in their shell just could not stand - cracks appeared.
It would seem a trifle, but these little bugs can thoroughly spoil our crops. So analyze your work in the garden and you - so it's easier to work on the mistakes and get the perfect crop in the future.
