Effective planting of tomatoes in a greenhouse

Growing tomatoes on your own plot requires compliance with certain conditions. Many people, especially in areas with not too hot and long summers, grow tomatoes in greenhouses. After all, it is precisely such a room, closed from the influence of adverse weather conditions, that allows you to get a good harvest of tomatoes.

But planting tomatoes in a greenhouse has its own nuances. It is best to plant tomato seedlings in a greenhouse in the first or second decade of May. At this time, the night temperature is still quite low, and during the day the thermometer may not rise very high. When planting tomatoes in a greenhouse at such a time, it is necessary to cover it with a second layer of film, which will create additional conditions for creating the necessary temperature and humidity conditions. This top film can be removed in early June once the night temperatures are warm enough.

Another special feature of a greenhouse designed for growing tomatoes should be ventilation. if the air is stuffy and too humid, then the tomato seedlings, like adult plants, may die.

Beds for tomato seedlings are made along the greenhouse; their number will depend on its width. It is most convenient to make the beds for tomato seedlings 80 centimeters wide. This is how the tomato planting pattern is followed for a better harvest, and with such a width the beds are convenient to process.

The soil for tomatoes in the greenhouse should be prepared three days before planting. It should be fertile and light.In addition, to prevent diseases, the soil can be spilled with hot water (50-60 degrees) with potassium permanganate (1 gram per 1 liter of water) or special preparations can be used.

Of course, it is best to plant small seedlings, but if for some reason they have outgrown and become too elongated, then they must be deepened when planting.

Large-fruited and hybrid varieties are planted at a distance of 50-60 centimeters from each other.

Good luck!
