To grow full-fledged tomatoes, sow seedlings. In order for the seeds to develop comfortably, it is necessary to prepare the soil composition. Sawdust, which is added to the soil, is pre-poured with boiling water. Then the mixture is poured with a urea solution. Eggshells, half a liter of wood ash, superphosphate or high-quality potassium phosphate are added to one bucket of ready-made earthen mixture. After thorough mixing of the soil composition, the soil is poured with a hot solution of potassium permanganate. Completely cooled soil is poured into containers. Sowing seeds is carried out in March. The prepared seeds are scattered over the surface of the container, sprinkled with a small layer of soil.

Sprout care

After the sprouts appear, caring for them continues.To slow down the growth of young tomatoes, a pick is made twice. This variety responds well to the procedure. The first watering is carried out 4 days after the beginning of the active sprout of seedlings. After the formation of the first three leaves, the volume of water is increased from two tablespoons to 100 ml per bush.

Planting and care in the open field

Ready, hardened sprouts are planted at the rate of 4 bushes per 1 sq. m. A support peg is driven in near each sprout. The place under the tomatoes should be well lit by the sun. When planting, a distance of 50 * 40 cm is observed. Excessive thickening of the sprouts leads to a decrease in yield indicators.

A few weeks later, young bushes are tied up. As needed, pinching is carried out, after the formation of the brushes, all actions are stopped. When the delicious Olya tomatoes, whose characteristics were described a little higher, begin to ripen, they stop watering for a while so as not to harm their taste.

To keep the tomato bushes strong and yield high, gardeners feed young sprouts. Compositions containing potassium and life-giving phosphorus are suitable as a recharge, to maintain bushes during flowering and fruit formation.

Important! At the same time, it is important to observe the measure with the introduction of fertilizing for tomatoes, since an excess of fertilizer leads to an increase in green mass, the fruits become smaller, the content of harmful nitrates in them increases.

It is important to properly organize watering for sprouts in the open field. The irrigation system is organized in such a way that the water jet falls directly on the soil, and not the stems and delicate leaves of tomatoes.
