Are you thinking about growing your own tomatoes on your balcony or terrace? Then we congratulate you on this relaxing and rewarding idea! Tomatoes are an ideal choice for growing in small spaces and thanks to the Boum app, you will find it easy to keep your plants happy and healthy. Let's take a closer look.
1. The perfect place for your tomatoes
Tomatoes love sun, so a sunny spot on a balcony or terrace is ideal for them. Make sure they get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for best results.
2. Preparation is the key to success
Before you start planting, you need to ensure the quality of your soil. Tomatoes prefer a neutral to slightly acidic pH and well-drained soil. You can add compost or organic fertilizer to improve the soil. Now you may be wondering, "How often do I need to fertilize my tomatoes?" That's where the Boum app comes in to tell you exactly that!
3. Fertilize as needed
Tomatoes are heavy feeders and need regular fertilization during the growing season. The exact timing and frequency of fertilization depends on many factors, including the quality of your soil and the growth phase of your tomatoes. In any case, Boum fertilizer is suitable for all Boum plants, vegetables, herbs, trees or flowers.
The good news is that the Boum app sends personalized notifications when your plants need fertilizing. With the Boum app, you never have to guess or remember when to fertilize - just select the plant and forget it!
4. Automatic irrigation
Regularly watering tomatoes can sometimes be a challenge, especially if you work or plan to travel in the summer. This is where the Boum automatic watering system comes into play. It waters your plants exactly as needed and informs you via the Boum app when the water level gets too low - a perfect help for growing tomatoes on the balcony or terrace!
