Carrying out additional processing measures consists in soaking the seed for 2 hours in a solution with the addition of a drug that stimulates plant growth.

The soil material can be used for growing vegetables or for general purposes. It is not recommended to purchase budget substrates.

You can also make the landing land yourself. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Take ordinary garden soil;
  2. Add compost or peat to the garden soil;
  3. Add sand to the resulting earthen mixture;
  4. Add superphosphate (lighten the soil if necessary).

Plant the treated seeds at a depth of two centimeters, keeping the same distance between adjacent plantings. Fresh plantings should be watered using a spray bottle to avoid soil erosion. After watering, future sprouts must be covered with one of the available materials:

  • transparencies;
  • glass.

In order for seedlings to appear on time, the following conditions must be met:

  • abundant sunlight;
  • maintaining a constant temperature.

The preferred place for germination of seedlings is the southern windowsill, where drafts do not have access.

Important! When the seeds germinate, the film cover must be removed. If this is not done, high humidity will contribute to the infection of the seedlings with a black leg.

How to transplant to an open ridge

May is suitable for planting tomatoes in open ground, since the risk of returning night frosts at this time is minimal. For transplantation into a heated greenhouse, this period is postponed several weeks earlier.

Before planting, the seedlings must be hardened. To carry out this procedure, in the daytime, when warm weather sets in, the plants must be taken out into the open air for 2 hours, gradually increasing the number of hours of hardening to a whole day.

When transplanting to a permanent place, it is necessary to observe a 40 cm distance between adjacent plants and 60 cm between rows. A handful of compost or peat, a small amount of mullein or complex fertilizer should be added to the prepared depression.

A slightly buried root, placed in a hole, must be watered and covered with soil. There is no need to tamp the soil in the root area.When ensuring air permeability of the soil, the presence of swollen areas should be avoided.
