Vibrating Tomato Flowers. What Does The Science Say? Why Vibrating Tomato Flowers Harms Flavor/🔺🍅

Is it worth vibrating tomato flowers to increase pollination? This Gardening In Canada video looks at vibrating tomato flowers and what the science says. The results of one study were pretty shocking showing a decrease in flavour and seed count for those flowers that were vibrated. The reality is that vibrating tomatoes grown outside in the garden is pointless. If the tomatoes are grown in a controlled environment you will want to consider some form of manipulation to help with pollen dispersal.

👩🏻‍🦰 A B O U T M E:
Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.
