The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
Sowing seedlings is best done in early to mid-March. Planting in a permanent place should be done when the seedlings are 60-65 days old.
Growing tomato seedlings is an extremely important process, because it largely depends on whether the gardener will be able to harvest at all. All aspects must be taken into account, from seedbed preparation to planting in the ground.
Landing scheme
Seedlings should be planted according to the scheme 70x40 centimeters.
Growing and care
First, you will need to prepare the soil for planting seed. In this case, you can prepare the mixture with your own hands, for this they mix garden soil, peat and mullein. Sometimes steamed sawdust is also added there.
As top dressing, you can add a little ammonium nitrate and superphosphate. If you do not want to prepare the soil yourself, you can purchase it ready-made from a garden store.
It is important to choose the right container for seedlings. Most often, special peat pots, disposable plastic cups are used.
Seed material should be prepared before planting. To do this, you must first disinfect the seeds. They are wrapped in cheesecloth, which is pre-folded in several layers. After that, everything is placed in a solution with potassium permanganate and left for 30 minutes.
Then the seeds are taken out and washed thoroughly with clean water.They will also need to be dried. The previously prepared earthen mixture is laid out in containers. Seed material is laid out on top. It is slightly deepened into the soil.
The soil must be moist. A drainage layer can be placed at the bottom of each container. When the first small leaves appear, the plants begin to be planted in a permanent place on the site.
Remember that you cannot plant tomatoes in places where nightshades previously grew, as parasites can hide there. For cultivation, it is better to choose a well-lit place that is reliably protected from the winds.
This culture prefers loose, slightly acidic soils. If the soil is too acidic, then lime can be added. The selected area is dug onto the bayonet of the shovel. It is imperative to remove the roots of old plants, stones, lumps.
Organic fertilizing should be added to the planting pits. You can use complex fertilizers. Then young seedlings are carefully placed in the planting holes, the root system is buried. The soil needs to be tamped lightly. Then the near-trunk circle is watered abundantly.
The first two weeks after planting it is not necessary to moisten the soil. After that, watering is carried out as the top layer of the soil dries out. And also the culture will need additional feeding. In this case, the first foliar dressing is used already a week after planting. Boric acid can be added (0.5 teaspoon per 10 liters of water).
Fertilizers are applied at the root two weeks after planting. In this case, a mineral complex, which can be purchased ready-made in garden stores, would be an excellent option.
Do not forget about mulching. This will keep moisture in the soil and also prevent possible overheating. As mulch, you can take straw, dry peat, rotted sawdust, cut grass or hay.
It is important to form the bush correctly. Moreover, it is worth doing this already from the second week after planting. It will be necessary to remove the stepsons. At the same time, the grown stems are tied to a support, most often simple pegs are used.
Remember that in adverse weather conditions, it is recommended to cover tomatoes with special agrofibre. Other non-woven fabrics can also be used. Most often, they cover the culture at night, in the morning they take it off.
A plant needs different micronutrients at each stage of growth. All fertilizers can be divided into two groups: mineral and organic. Folk remedies are often used: iodine, yeast, bird droppings, eggshells.
It is important to observe the rate and period of feeding. This also applies to folk remedies and organic fertilizers.
