HOW TO POLLINATE TOMATOES BY HAND

how to pollinate tomato plants for maximum yield so there are two ways to pollinate tomato plants that we will see today the first technique is very easy you don't need any tools for it all you need to do is use your hands to pollinate the tomato plants and there is another way by using a battery-operated toothbrush to pollinate the tomato plants out of these two methods the second method works the best in my opinion but let me show you both these methods and then you can see which one works best for you so the first method is to just use your hands to shake off the pollen on the tomato flowers so just take a flower or two and shake them so that the pollen drops on the stigma which results in a fruit being formed so the second method to pollinate tomato flowers is what I recommend is to use a power toothbrush you can get these power toothbrushes anywhere they're pretty cheap I think I got this for like two or three dollars it's not those kid two toothbrushes so basically what you do is turn the toothbrush on there should be a button somewhere at the bottom and once you turn it on the toothbrush starts vibrating so that's what you use to pollinate the flower now if you're wondering why we use it toothbrush vibrating toothbrush is exactly what a bee does to a tomato flower in nature now you might have bees near your place you might not have enough so this is another tomato flower growing in a container and it has a lot of blooms as well so let's take this toothbrush and start pollinating a few of these flowers so by manually pollinating the flowers we make sure that most of these flowers turn into fruit that's the whole idea let the bees do their job and then you do your job by manually pollinating the rest and this will ensure that you'll have a nice bountiful harvest so I hope this tip helped you and hope you have a great harvest this season I'll see you soon next time until then happy gardening you
