THE "DRY LAW" FOR TOMATOES

Has become a familiar pattern, when the summer vacationers coming weekend in their garden plots, primarily in a hurry with the lake to the greenhouses to water the tomatoes. The lesson is, especially for elderly people, quite debilitating, results in harvest because of their diligence, often scanty. Tell about his method of growing tomatoes without irrigation.





The method consists in the following:

When periodic watering (albeit rarely — once in one to two weeks, as I usually do most gardeners) stimulus for growth at the roots of the tomatoes, until the beginning of fruiting, no — moisture and nutrients for the development of the stem and the leaf surface in the absence of fruit is enough.
The roots begin to grow a mass of fruit, i.e. with a considerable delay. As a result, the fruiting is delayed, and harvest reduced.

In the absence of irrigation, the roots seek moisture well before the start of fruiting, grow in all directions, in a timely manner develop a strong root system, is able to nourish the plant, not only during the growth of stems, but also during the ripening of the fruit.

The harvest in this case is always higher than the plants with the watering.

Of course, not all so is simple as it seems at first glance. In the conventional planting, especially in greenhouses, and in hot dry weather, the plants may not survive and die. But this is a rare exception.

Let's do an experiment: Cut tomato plants, some escape, for example stepson, and zaglubit it into the soil to half of the stem, from top to pour water for compaction and wetting of the soil.
This stalk does not dry up, over time, will take root and will develop normally.
Why? Yes, because the stem (recessed part) in the landing has replaced the functions of the root. So, we need to make fuller use of this biological feature of the tomato when it is growing.
 

• When planting seedlings with the lower half I cut all the leaves, dig under a Bush oblong hole is the groove slightly longer in length pastable.
• In the groove pour half a bucket–a bucket of compost (compost prepared without clearence its layers of mineral fertilizers, therefore, put his needs, without fear of overfeeding), a handful or two of wood ash, 1 gram of potassium permanganate. Carefully mix everything. Pour in the grooves on half a bucket of water.
• After absorption of moisture the lower part of the stem is placed horizontally, holding the tops to the North.
• If seedlings are planted without a lump of land, then necessarily breed clay mash, dipping her pollable, then powder coating by dry land (for a better connection with the soil).
• Sprinkle a layer of soil 3-5 cm
• The upper part of the stem almost at a right angle to the tie immediately hammered the stakes (or subsequently tied up to a trellis). From top to pour under a Bush still half a bucket of water, trying to avoid getting moisture on the leaves.

That's all — more shrubs not watered during the entire season until harvest.

It should be remembered that if you plant the plant deeper, the effect of planting will not be as at a depth of 10-15 cm micro-organisms are virtually absent, and they are in the ground and nourish the plant.

The first time after planting the plants are pleasing to the eye, almost do not fade even in the sun.

But after, drying in the holes of the earth, notice how the leaves of the tomatoes shrivel slightly. And I want them at this time to water. And caring grower here, of course, not stand — gives the plants moisture.

And in vain.After all, what happens to the appearance of the plants — quite naturally. The drying of the soil in it is a struggle for survival. The plant searches for water, the roots are hard to grow it requires energy, plastic substances, which at this time has not yet fully replenished.

But it will take some time, tomatoes will grow stronger, your Pets will come alive to delight the eyes.

The value of the proposed methodology lies in the fact that it allows you to grow a good crop of even the most seemingly worthless of seedlings hill or extensions.

After 2-3 weeks any "dead" seedlings is similar to a palm tree. It is only necessary to master difficult to overcome the psychological barrier and to keep from watering.

Tomatoes without irrigation can be grown on any soil with any level in the site groundwater. In some greenhouses with muddy soil, the earth dries up and turns to dust. In such places even the weeds dry.

Then sometimes, about once a month, are committed to maintain moisture plants are planted.

In General, if you want to get the maximum yield of tomatoes, you can begin watering no earlier than at the time mass fruit when the plant is already mostly formed root system.
But I still don't water, otherwise the fruit becomes watery and less tasty. And without that tomato is growing so much that we process only juice, and harvested enough for a family for a whole year until the next harvest. published
