After that, they are sprinkled with a substrate and squeezed into the soil by several centimeters.After that, the soil is watered with water and containers with seedlings are transferred to a warm room.
Containers with planted tomatoes should not be placed on batteries, as this can quickly overheat the soil.
Planting seedlings
To begin with, you should make holes for planting seedlings. They are done at a distance of 50-55 cm from each other. After that, they are filled with water and humus mixed with mineral fertilizers.
Before removing the seedlings from the container, it is necessary to moisten the soil.

To get the young tomato bushes out of containers correctly, you need to gently grasp their trunk and slowly pull the plant out of the soil. Then the tomato is placed vertically in the hole and covered with compost.
After planting, you should mulch the soil. To do this, you can use straw, sawdust or grass cuttings.
