How should you plant?
Early ripening hybrids in the middle lane are sown for seedlings from 15 to 20 March. The soil is prepared by mixing humus with river sand, peat and turf soil in a ratio of 2 to 1. The soil is disinfected in 3 ways in the form:
- freezing;
- steaming;
- calcination.
Dino tomato seeds do not need to be germinated or treated with chemicals. In a peat pot, 2 grains are placed at a depth of 1.5 cm, sprinkled with earth on top of them and sprinkled with water. When the first leaves appear, they begin to dive, thereby strengthening the roots.
In open ground, seedlings are sent along with the pot, cutting off its bottom. They do this when frosts are no longer expected, and the height of the tomato shoot is at least 20 cm.
Care rules
The place of the tomato bed is selected on an area that is well ventilated and illuminated by the sun all day.Tomato bushes are planted at a distance of 40 cm. The land on which they are located needs to be loosened after 2 or 3 weeks, and the weeds must be weeded, otherwise insect pests will start and the bushes will thicken.
It is necessary to water the hybrids at the root, make sure that no water gets on the leaves and inflorescences. Humidification of tomatoes is done once or within 7 days. In order for the nutrients to go into the formation of fruits, stepchildren are regularly removed.
During the season, tomatoes are fed 4 times with mineral and organic fertilizers, the bushes must be spud. Tomatoes are harvested by hand.
