As soon as it priges the first spring sun, it becomes animated in the country areas - someone looms the land, someone is digging. Everyone wants to assemble a rich harvest in the fall. Sades lovers are doing everything possible to grow tomatoes. Everyone is different in different ways - some collect tomatoes in large quantities and do not know what to do with them, and some people have several fruits on a bush.
Why it happens? The opinion of many people is based on the fact that tomatoes "love" or there is no place and a person who cares for them. In fact, it is not. To grow this unpretentious garden culture, it is important not only to prepare the soil, it is still necessary to feed plants, often watered, because tomatoes are 80% consistent with water, as well as in time to paesing and properly tipped. It is from how much this part of the work will be performed correctly and the future harvest depends.
What is necessary to tie tomatoes
Most of the gardeners are theoretically know and even adhere to some rules for growing tomatoes. Most manage to collect a good harvest, but you can make efforts, allocate some time and pay more attention to the cultivation of tomatoes. If you do everything correctly, then since the beginning of August and ending in late autumn, you can collect a good yield of tomato.
If, with how to grow seedlings and packing tomatoes, we have already become familiarized, then not everyone knows how to properly tie tomatoes.
For what it is necessary to tie tomatoes:
- it is important that the fruits do not fall on the ground and have not touched it;
- it is necessary to support not only tall, but also the lowest varieties of tomatoes;
- when tapping the plant, it is undesirable to use a thin rope, a fishing line or wire, as they can damage the tender stems of tomatoes. It is better to use kapron tights or cut into strips old sheets;
- it is impossible to leave the garter material since last year to tie tomatoes next year - so you can infect plants.
What else should the tomatoes need to be taught? According to experienced summer residents, even if you have a low-spirited variety of tomatoes and bushes are low, then when you properly suspend them, you can strengthen the growth of the root system. This means that it will become stronger, get more nutrition, which will then give the fruits.
An important rule that is desirable not to miss back at the first stage - landing of tomatoes seedlings. As soon as you leave seedlings, prepare pegs in advance. They need to be installed at a distance of 10 cm from the future bush, and then immediately perform the garter in the form of the number "8". In addition, when tapping, you can use the trellis, then there is a chance to save on the consumption of garter material (ropes or tissue stripes).
And yet, properly tied tomatoes will be good fruit, the bushes will become stronger, but it will not break. Those plants that ripen and rest on pegs will be protected from slugs. In addition, if the summer was rainy, the tomatoes can be saved from posting. It is also very important a gap and to ensure normal ventilation of plants - they will be well ventilated and warm evenly, and to spray them in order to protect against phytoophulas, do not need a lot of effort.

Material for garter of tomatoes
Wooden pegs can serve as a support for gate plants, a conventional stuffing stick or choplera. You can also use metal reinforcement as a support.
Most often, summer residents give preference to tapping tomatoes on a chopler. This is a support specifically designed for the garter of curly garden and garden crops. The design may differ - it can be vertical supports of metal or wood, between which the plastic grid is stretched. By the way, the grid can be different, metallic or woven independently from a solid rope. The grid can be replaced with wooden pegs that are driven into the ground. But the best option is still the finished design for growing tomatoes on the chopler.
By the way, you can adapt and grow tomatoes directly near the buildings, for example, planting tomatoes near the greenhouse, and use one wall as a support. To do this, you need to pull on the wall of the greenhouse with a high plastic grid on one side, and on the other hand, if you planted tomatoes in several rows, set the support pegs and also pull the grid.
As a "dressing" for plants, you can accommodate old underwear, sheets, or use categories. This material will endure the 1st season, and maybe several. If you are planning in the new season to use the former material for the tomato garter, then it must be processed. For this, the tapes are erased in hot water with a household soap or simply boil a few minutes. It is necessary to prevent the infection of young bushes of tomatoes pests, as they breed very quickly and the larvae can stay on the tape for a long time.
How to independently make a simple design set
There is nothing complicated in the garter of tomatoes. The main thing is a desire and some free time.
What materials will need:
- wooden supports;
- reiki;
- nails;
- wire.
First you need to prepare 3 supports, it can be a wooden column or metal. The height of support over the ground - 3 m. The columns are set in 1 row at a distance of 4 m from each other. If you have a big tomato plantation, then the columns need to prepare more.
We will also need wooden rails to connect the upper part of the supports and nails. Reiki nail nails to supports as hard as possible.
Next, we take the wire. It must be fixed in the top of the rail and pull through each meter. Bill wire brackets that can be made from ordinary nails.
The end of the wire is fixed on extreme supports. We are doing this job further, with a step in 1 m. If we took 3 pcs of the supports, then we should get 3 wires, at the bottom it will be held at a distance of 20 cm from the ground.
That's all, we prepared a frame for a sleeper. Now the next stage is the installation of the frame. We will need a soft wire, a rope or a caprochy thread. The material must be cut into equal segments, a length of 4.5 m. Now proceed to work - it is necessary to fix the free end of the rope on the support and tighten on the wire 1 time so that the rope is not shifted. Every 20 cm, we screw the next rope on the transverse wire to the nose itself. Our task is to "spare" the grid, which will have the same cells. All such woven "panels" we will need about 6 pcs.
This part of the work can be performed in the fall when the harvest is collected and the primer is preparing to the new season. Just at this time, a small trench can be pulled out (width of approximately 60 cm), the depth of the trench is half meter. The soil, which we dig, are far away, it will be needed.
Now our actions are as follows: we take 6 identical parts of the manure (preferably horse) and a cowboy, 3 pieces of wood pure (without impurities) ash and goat litter and 1 part of chicken. All this connect, mix and put in the prepared trench to the edges. And now we will leave our natural fertilizer with soil. Just in the winter, the trench will be slightly at the spring and in the spring you can begin to work.
What we do in the spring: prepare the groove for planting tomatoes seedlings. The depth of the groove is approximately 15 cm. Tall varieties of tomatoes are planted directly via the holder.
To care for plants simply - as they grow up, they are guided up to curly around rope or wire. In order not to hide the ground, the beds can be covered with leaves or dry grinding straw.
As a result of such a tomato garter, with 1 bush, you can collect a bucket or a little more tomatoes. As a result of growing vegetables on a chopler, you can get rid of many diseases, the bushes will be well ventilated. In addition, collect harvest is one pleasure.
Advantages of the Tomato Garter Tomatoes:
- you can walk between rows to care for the aisle and collect harvest;
- tomatoes will be well ventilated, which means the leaves (especially lower), will not "sweat" and rotate;
- disputes of mold (phytoofluorosis) will not multiply, since there are no favorable conditions for breeding bacteria;
- tomatoes are in sight and are well visible, and the harvest will be harvested much easier, because it is not necessary to turn and tilt the branches.
How to tie tomatoes on support stakes
Metal fittings, plastic tube or wooden stick are suitable as the support pegs. The height of the support depends on the variety of tomatoes. For tall plants, there are enough 2 m lengths (sometimes 3rd), and 1 m will be enough for short.
The pegs need to be driven into the ground so that they remain firmly and not loosened, because as the plant grows, the load on the support will increase. Therefore, we swing the pegs to a depth of 20 cm. The distance between the plants is 5 or 10 cm. The pegs should be driven simultaneously with the seedlings.
Further, after the supports are installed, immediately need to tie the liner rope (tissue) or make the ribbon size from the old sheet. The rope wreation around the support and the Tomato bush will be covered, and then fasten on the support so that it does not unleash.
Tomato Garter on Linear Trelliers
Note the place of the future bed. From both sides, set the supports (it can be stakes, tubes or wooden thick sticks). Support height - 2 or 3 m. Between the supports you need to install the crossbar or pull the rope (only not thin so that it does not damage the stalks of the plant). At the crossbar, we bring the rope so that each plant has its own support, through which the tomatoes will wake up as stretching. The bottom end of the rope must be tied to the stalk of tomatoes.
How to tapping tomatoes in the greenhouse
Take the tomatoes in the greenhouse need a little different. For example, you can install once for many years in a row Metal bar from each edge of the bed. Then combine them with each other with wire or other durable material.
Next to each bush on one side and the dressing material is tied to the wire so that the bush is located vertically. When tomatoes are gradually stretched, the rope pulls up. The task of adjusting the rope is to align the bush so that it is located vertically.
It is impossible to use hard and thin garters, as well as a wire, since this material can damage thin, still rapid stems and young shoots. The dressing material is better to take soft and thick. Once the old sheet is suitable, any thin knitted things (T-shirts, T-shirts, underwear).
You can not stretch time so as not to miss the moment of tapping, otherwise the bushes will grow crookedly and then they cannot be straightened.
There is another way of garter when a small peg is installed next to a bush, and it immediately ties seedlings. Next, the calf needs to stretch the tape or rope to tie a plant. If the landing is thick, then the loop when tapping should be free. Typicize individual tomato branches in the chopler. You are categorically prohibited to pull the shoots with each other. Tomatoes should grow freely, and so that they do not break and do not fall out, just need a gate.
If you have chosen the Tomato Garter Helping Method, then when growing tomato in the greenhouse you need to remove the lower sheets. Humidity in the greenhouse is high and plants can be infected with the phytoofluoro.
In an adult tomato, the lower part (30 cm from the Earth) should remain free.
If nevertheless the plant has become a phytoofluoro, then the leaves need to be removed from the bottom completely, up to the brush. If everything is in order, then the leaves need to be removed sequentially, every 3 days 1-2 leaves.
It is important that the bandage is free both when growing tomatoes in the greenhouse and in the open soil. Cut into the stem and literally cut it, the material should not. So do not save on the rope or old sheets. And if you have no time to do this, go to a specialized store, there you can purchase devices for tapping tomatoes - clothespins, rings or large-scale plastic grid. Such a material will serve you for many years.
