Opinions of gardeners

This summer season I planted new Alpha tomatoes. An early ripe tomato gave a good harvest 90 days after planting. There were no problems with cultivation. Watered in the evening, fed 5 times over the summer, loosened the soil. Planted 5 bushes per 1 sq. meter. Next year I will try to plant more, 8 bushes per 1 sq. meter. The tomato is compact, does not require a garter. I did not find any cons for myself.
