Planting tomatoes in the garden is a wonderful thing. What many rely on are tomato houses. But how useful are they?
Tomatoes are delicate
Tomatoes belong in every garden. The smell of the plants alone is wonderful. And only the taste of the fruit! But tomatoes are delicate. In particular, late blight and brown rot cause problems for many gardeners. This occurs when the leaves are wet, when the humidity is very high and when the temperature falls below 18 degrees. The spores are carried over many kilometers and can infect any tomato plant. So quite a stubborn disease.
Tomato houses - How useful are they?
The so-called tomato house offers protection against such diseases. This is a superstructure closed on three sides with a roof made of UV-resistant greenhouse film and creating ideal growing conditions for the tomatoes. The open side should always face away from the weather side. Completely closed houses, on the other hand, are unfavorable, since the humidity would be too high here and condensation would form. You can buy these tomato houses ready-made in stores, but you can also make them yourself with a little skill. In this way, the tomatoes are always well protected and fungal diseases have little chance.
