About, how to plant tomatoes, we can say the most basic thing that will help you get a considerable harvest. The main thing in this matter is to properly grow the seedlings, which will ensure further normal growth of the tomato.
Firstly, for cultivation it is necessary to use tubs filled with light soil mixtures. Prepared from humus and turf soil. It is also necessary to add rotted sawdust and sand in equal quantities. When seedlings are grown in tubs, they need much more water than those growing in open ground. Fertilizing is carried out once a week, when the fruit is ripening.

To protect seedlings from wind and low temperatures, tubs with seedlings are placed at home, but if there are a lot of seedlings, then it is worth build greenhouses and greenhouses on the site.
Seedlings can be grown in various ways:

Seedlings are planted when the flowers in the first cluster have already bloomed.
