In the final third of summer, gardeners should follow a certain strategy for watering tomatoes..
It is still not worth doing the procedure during the daytime, since many August days (like July) can be quite hot..
Therefore, daytime watering can lead to rapid evaporation of water and serious problems with the garden crop.
Based on the above, it becomes clear that during the third summer month, it is advisable to water tomatoes either in the morning or in the evening.
But what time of day is more suitable for the procedure? This question was answered by our magazine’s expert, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
When is it better to water tomatoes in August
The specialist emphasizes: during this period, it is advisable to replenish the moisture deficit in the tomato bed only in the morning.
The fact is that morning watering will have a positive effect on the condition of the plant that ‘survived’ the night.
But in August, the air temperature at night can be quite low!
Using warm water in the morning helps to warm up the soil. As a result, the garden crop receives great benefits.
Important reminder: watering tomato bushes should be done exactly at the root. Droplets of liquid should not end up on the fruits and leaf blades.
