Before transplanting to the garden bed, they are fed with complex fertilizers containing potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and hardened. They are transferred to the greenhouse in April-May, to open beds - at the beginning of June. Humus, peat, wood ash are introduced into heavy soil, and a mixture of humus and compost is added to looser sandy loam substrates. Before planting, the earth is watered with a solution of potassium permanganate, and after transferring the seedlings to the ground, with warm water.

The tops of the heads are pinched at a height of 1.5 meters (or at any other height optimal for the plant), the lateral shoots - after 3-4 brushes. The lower leaves are removed. The bush should not grow too much. Watered often, but little by little, at the root, early in the morning or late in the evening.

Watering tomatoes is not difficult. After planting, the plant is watered at such intervals that the soil remains moist. In dry weather, when it does not rain for a long time, watering can be carried out every day, but usually the beds with tomatoes are irrigated 2-3 times a week.
The methods of tying tomato bushes can vary significantly, depending on the availability of available material, the method of fixation, and also the variety.
