We plant and tie tomatoes to a homemade trellis. Our #DIY technology for planting and growing tomatoes for beginners step by step.

00:00 Seedless tomatoes.
00:05 We stick the stakes of the steel trellis into the soil to a depth of 20-25 cm.
00:12 We use steel wire with a diameter of 6-7 mm as supports.
00:33 Double supports are installed every linear meter of the bed.
00:44 The advantage of jute rope is that it is vegetable, it rots in the ground.
00:57 For rigidity, at the end of the bed we tie together four support stakes.
01:16 In our hot climate, a house-shaped trellis provides advantages.
01:21 Cool air is better retained near bushes.
01:29 Plants suffer less from fungal diseases.
01:42 Removing greenhouse arcs.
01:47 Arcs will be useful to us to form the first horizontal row.
01:54 And we form the next second row with horizontal wire.
02:05 In total, we get 3 horizontal rows with a distance of 30-40 cm.
02:26 Leave the ends of the jute rope long enough.
02:34 These ends of the ropes will be useful in the future - for tying up plants.
02:41 Simultaneously with tying, we also carry out pinching of tomatoes.
02:48 We do not tie up low-growing, very early tomatoes.
02:53 And for tall tomatoes we leave from one to three lower stepsons.
03:08 We eventually tie up these main stems.
03:19 When removing the stepsons, we try to pinch them so that the stump remains.
03:59 The first tying is done.
04:11 Tall tomatoes have almost reached the top of the trellis.
04:16 Very early tomatoes are already starting to ripen red.
04:31 Tall tomatoes already have large fruit ovaries.
04:34 There are already quite large fruits.
04:48 For low-growing, very early tomatoes, the planting pattern is several times denser.
04:55 At such a height of the bushes, they protected the soil from overheating.
05:01 And tall tomatoes are planted more rarely.
05:06 Due to the slope of the trellis, the bushes shade the soil well.
05:18 In cool regions, a trellis in the form of vertical rows is better.
05:27 We do tying and pinching tomatoes without fanaticism.
05:32 Now we will only tie it for the second time.
05:44 We tie it up only when there is a clear risk of bushes falling.
05:59 An example of a tomato bush falling due to the weight of the fruit.
06:12 Without tying up, all these bushes would already be lying on the ground.
06:40 We gradually eat the extra-early tomatoes.
06:43 We do not allow full ripening to increase the overall yield.
06:56 We have a lot of tomatoes, although everyone complains that the year is not productive.
07:04 Second tying of tomatoes.
07:16 An example of tying with one rope on both sides of the wire.
07:20 Fold the loop in the shape of a figure eight on one side.
07:22 And we fold the cord in a figure eight on the other side.
07:37 When there is such a mass half a meter above the ground, of course the bushes can fall.
07:51 Several tiers of harvest.
08:03 This time we remove all the stepsons; the formation of stems is no longer necessary.
08:30 Despite the frequent heat, there are flowers and fruits.
08:59 We harvest the crops without waiting for them to fully ripen.
09:13 The tomatoes will be fully ripened in the house.
09:22 Using pinching, we adjust the height and density of the bushes.
09:36 And by tying it we create good ventilation.
10:31 We harvest a couple of times a week.
10:44 By mid-August there were only two tying and pinching.
10:52 And most likely there is no need to tie it up any further.
11:01 Stepchildren grow poorly, so we don’t plan to have any more stepchildren.
11:06 Even with the second tie-up, there were few stepchildren.
11:09 Collected unripe fruits ripen in a few days.
11:29 End of the film.
