Growing Features

After 55-60 days (approximately in the middle of May), seedlings are transferred to open ground to a depth of 4 centimeters.

Inside the holes, it is not superfluous to lay manure or chicken droppings.

To get a decent crop, there is no need to add peat and expensive fertilizers to the soil in large quantities. Systematic loosening, watering and top dressing of the earth will suffice.

Watering is best done after sunset or in the early morning. If you do this during the day, then only in cloudy weather. Fertilizing the earth is carried out twice during the growth of the plant. The first time this is done when the ovary appears (nitrogen and potassium fertilizers are used). The second time - with the appearance of tomatoes (phosphorus and potassium mixtures are used).

For aeration of the roots, it is necessary to loosen the soil in a timely manner. This will help in the fight against pests that affect the root system of the tomato. Weeding the beds is recommended weekly. Otherwise, crop losses can be up to 30 percent.
