Reading the dacha forums, you are amazed that they just do not come up with to get big harvests. On the Internet, they are vigorously discussing the method from the Terekhins for growing tomatoes. It is interesting to understand whether it is worth following it when growing your seedlings.

Features of growing tomato seedlings

Lyudmila Terekhina widely popularizes on the Internet her methods of growing tomato seedlings for sale and for her needs. She has a wealth of experience gained over the years. Which of her recommendations is suitable in your particular case, decide for yourself.

Seed preparation according to the Terekhin method

Seed preparation according to the method of Terekhina Lyudmila will take more than one day. For the seeds of each variety of tomatoes, you need to sew a small bag of dense fabric and sign the name.

At the first stage, we will process tomato seeds with ash infusion. To prepare it, boil 1 liter of water. 2 tbsp. l. sift ash into a jar and pour boiling water. Let's leave the bank alone for a day. Strain the broth before soaking.

We will visually inspect the seeds, put the whole seeds without defects in separate glasses (small glasses). Each variety is in its own glass. Although you can move away from the original and use small plastic cups instead of glasses, like Lyudmila Terekhina. It is convenient to write the name of the variety on the glasses with a marker.

We keep the seeds in an ash solution for 3 hours, after which 20 minutes in a pale pink solution of manganese. Be sure to rinse tomato seeds treated with manganese and ash infusion in running water and put them in prepared and signed bags.

The preparation of tomato seeds does not end there. We breed "Epin" according to the norm and keep our planting material in it. On other days we send the saucers with seeds to the refrigerator. Processing is complete when the seeds have been refrigerated for 24 hours.

Determine the timing of landing on Terekhina

The Terekhins strongly recommend using the lunar calendar when planning all planting operations. The sky should have a waning moon in the sign of Scorpio. The waning moon has a good effect on the development of roots, Scorpio is the protector of tomato seedlings from diseases.

On a suitable day, we are planting seeds for seedlings. We take the seeds out of the refrigerator and sow them into boxes with soil for Terra Vita seedlings. According to the Terekhin, only in the living soil of this company can healthy seedlings not infected with late blight be grown.

Treatment and prevention of fusarium wilt of tomatoes

Before planting, be sure to spill the soil with a manganese solution. Cover the seeds with a layer of earth, and on top of it with a layer of snow. When the snow melts, first put each box in a bag, then to the battery. The boxes are kept warm for 5 days.

After the emergence of shoots, the boxes must be exposed to light. Put seedlings on the floor every night. This manipulation will provide the seedlings with the required temperature difference (day, night). In this case, tomatoes are not stretched.

We dive tomato seedlings using the Terekhin method

March month, Scorpio in the waning moon, the seedlings already have 2 leaves. When all these conditions have coincided, we proceed to the pick using Lyudmila's technology. Prepare containers filled with "living earth" in advance. Cup volume 100 ml.

You will need cutting scissors. The roots of the seedlings remain in the ground, the stalk is cut under the cotyledon leaves and stuck into the prepared glass. Such a pick stimulates the formation of powerful roots in seedlings.

Moisten the soil in the cups. Put the cups not in the light, but in a cool, dark place. In the dark, the seedlings should stand for at least 2 days, after which they should be placed in the sun and treated with Epin.

It is necessary to light up the seedlings artificially if the sunlight is not enough. Terekhina uses a greenhouse lamp for this purpose. According to her, during the cultivation of seedlings, all plants survive. When the roots of tomatoes get cramped in small cups, transfer to a larger container (200 ml).

Watering seedlings across Terekhina

Take melted snow for watering. Pour a tablespoon into small cups (100 ml), two into large ones (200 ml). Observing this scheme, according to Terekhina, you will forever get rid of black leg tomato seedlings.

How the Terekhins got rid of late blight

They dug up a bed for tomatoes after white cabbage. In the spring, while the snow lay, copper sulfate was thrown in. The day before transplanting the seedlings, holes were dug. A solution of metronidazole was prepared. 4 tablets were dissolved in a bucket of water. Each hole took at least 1 liter. This procedure with Terekhin's metronidazole was repeated for 2 years. Now phytophthora has been absent in their garden for many years.

Before the transshipment of Terekhin's seedlings, add to the hole:

1. Sand - 1 - 2 handfuls.
2. Potassium sulfate - 1 tsp
3. Fertilizers "Kemira" - 2 tsp.
4. Deoxidizer.

Caring for tomatoes after transplanting

The first top dressing and the first watering after transplanting Terekhin is carried out after 10 days. Baikal is used for this. Other fertilizers are not needed yet. Enough for the first 2 flower brushes of those fertilizers that were put into the hole during planting.

When the third fruit cluster begins to form, the plant needs to be given magnesium and boron: magnesium for taste, boron for the ovaries. The preparation "Magnesium Bor" fully satisfies the plants' need for boron and magnesium. You don't even need to dilute it in water - you can just scatter it over the soil.

The Terekhins originally restore soil fertility in their greenhouses. They do not suffer with the replacement of soil, but sow greenhouses in greenhouses, killing two birds with one stone - they improve soil fertility and fight weeds.

Terekhin in caring for tomatoes focus on regular loosening. They believe that loosening improves oxygen access to the roots, and oxygen is the most necessary element for the development of any plant.

Terekhin refused to form bushes into 1 stem for a long time. 2- or 3-stem schemes are preferred, but 2-stem tomatoes are preferred.

Summer residents about the Terekhin method

Judging by the forums, many vegetable growers are trying to grow tomatoes using the Terekhina method. Apparently, such a complex breeding method does not scare them.

Lena, 56 years old, Rostov-on-Don:

“I studied the experience of Lyudmila in tomato cultivation. I tried her picking methods. Of course, I did not cut all the seedlings. To be honest, I was afraid that I might be left without tomatoes. The fears were not in vain.Dived by trimming method two tomato varieties: Wild Rose and the pink elephant. Rosa endured the experiment as it should, and we almost lost the Elephant. I had to spray it a day earlier with Epin, the bushes looked too sad after such an extreme dive. "

Irina, 28 years old, Ulyanovsk:

“In our climate, I see no point in such a pick. We have warm enough days. We plant seedlings in the ground already on May 9. There are never any problems with crops. We dive in our usual way - pinch ⅔ of the root of the seedlings and plant them in a separate glass. "

Conclusion

The method of Lyudmila Terekhina, undoubtedly, is of interest to summer residents. It is not worth cutting all the seedlings when picking, but 10 bushes can be safely used for experiment. This option of growing seedlings takes a lot of time, and not every vegetable grower has it. Experiment if you have enough time and share your achievements with others.
