    We have a large family, so we plant a lot at the summer cottage. This also applies to tomatoes, which we all love very much. When the bushes grow, they need to be tied so as not to fall. It is quite long, tiring. So I came up with a simple and quick garter.
    Tomatoes are always planted in double rows. Along each row, from two sides I drive in pegs at a distance of about 1, 5 m. I drive them close to the bushes. Then, on each side, I stretch between the pegs a strong tape. sometimes even soft wire somewhere 50 cm from the ground. As the tomatoes grow, I pull the second line, higher. If the tomatoes are very tall, then I make the third line. As a result, the tomatoes stand evenly, like soldiers in the ranks. Only sometimes a little "walk" along the line.

    Such a garter, among other things, is good because it fixes the bushes without injuring them. And before, when each bush was tied to a peg, it happened that with a strong wind the plants broke at the garter point.

    - This year I tried a new method for tomato garter. When planting seedlings in a hole, she laid the end of the string twisted into a loop, left the rest on the surface of the bed. When it came time to tie the plants, wrapped the free end of the string around the trunk and tied it to the trellis. Now I will always do so - very convenient.

    And this season I conducted an experiment. I deduced that if you dilute an 1 aspirin tablet in a bucket of water and pour tomatoes with this solution, they will be more resistant to all kinds of viruses. Maybe this is so. But the weather this summer was already very contrasting. As a result, despite the treatment, my plants became ill with cladosporiosis.
    I had to save them with 1% solution of copper sulfate: I sprayed the leaves every ten days until the fruits began to form. It helped!
