Planting tomato seedlings in a greenhouse

Tomato is the most common crop planted through seedlings. But the time comes when you need to plant tomato seedlings in a greenhouse.

Before planting, the seedlings should already be slightly hardened, i.e. you need to take it out of room temperature and into a colder room.

The first step is to prepare a place for planting. To do this, we dig up the bed, make small ditches at a distance of 20 cm from the side. We scatter fertilizers along the rut, then water them with water. If necessary, you can add compost to the ditches and then fill them with water again. This whole procedure must be done early in the morning, because later the temperature in the greenhouse will be high.

The actual planting of tomato seedlings should begin in the evening.

First you need to mark the bed. This process is creative, as they say, whatever your heart desires, but you need to roughly imagine the “future picture” and maintain the distance between the bushes, because they will increase in size.

Remember, tomatoes prefer moist soil rather than moist air.

After freeing the seedlings from the container, watering them in advance, you need to remove excess leaves. Then we lower the ball of roots into a ditch, along which we place the stem, adding earth from the sides. Only the crown with 3-4 leaves should remain above the ground (the extra ones were removed). We cover the trunk with earth no more than eight centimeters.

You can then cover the bed with mulch from grass clippings. It is better to water from a bottle.

And don’t forget that seedlings are future plants that may or may not bear fruit.This will depend on how you treat her.
