- Temperature range for seedlings and tomato bushes:
- Temperature 23-25 From until germination in a box under a film;
- After seed germination, the temperature is reduced to 20-22 degrees;
- Daytime temperatures should be 5 degrees higher than nighttime temperatures, which are 14-15 degrees;
- 1-2 weeks before planting in the soil, the seedlings need to be hardened, gradually increasing the presence of seedlings in the open air in the evening, or cloudy weather.
- Sowing seeds is carried out in light fertile soil. It is good to add ash to tomatoes, about 0.5 liters per bucket of soil.
- Watering the seedlings is necessary only as the topsoil dries up.
- It is better to plant seedlings in a permanent place when the seedlings reach 25-30 cm. It is impossible to allow overgrowing and thinning of seedlings, this will lead to a loss of yield.
- For 1 sq. m it is optimal to plant from 3 to 5 bushes of tomatoes. Thickening of the planting leads to a loss of yield.
- The beds should be carefully prepared for planting seedlings. Warm beds have proven themselves well:
- cardboard is laid at the bottom of such a bed;
- then a layer of sawdust about 10 cm is loaded from above;
- hay or fresh grass is laid on sawdust, compacted with a layer of 30 cm;
- sifted humus or compost mixed with ash and soil from the site is the top layer of the bed. It should be about 20-30 cm, but more is possible.
Warm beds only need to be watered. They work great for 3 years without adding any additional fertilizers.
