Therefore, try to pick up a piece of land so that it does not blow all the winds. Further, in order to plant the tomato seedlings into the soil was successful, the vegetable garden should not be located in damp, swampy terrain. Of course, tomatoes like moisture, they need it. But the excess of it will lead to decay of the root system, and the tomatoes will simply disappear. As for the composition of the soil, then the chernozem and loamy rocks are perfect. As a top dressing, organic and mineral fertilizers are needed. Of course, it is not always possible to plant tomato seedlings in the soil at a place where nothing has grown before. But, picking up plots, it is better for tomatoes to master those where before this grew beans, peas, other legumes or roots, greens. It's better not to plant tomatoes after potatoes - the land is already depleted. And the last nuance: the soil can be infected with various kinds of pests, for example, a bear.

And only on the eve of disembarkation, about 6 hours before that, generously pour. It is also necessary to transplant in moist soil and then it is necessary to "drink well". Planting seedlings of tomatoes in the open ground should be carried out either on a cloudy day, or earlier in the morning, or already at sunset, when solar activity is running low and will not damage plants. Even the even better: a cool night will allow the seedlings to acclimatize, recover before a long light day.

The landing should be done not closely, but at a distance of approximately 50-70 cm. And between the rows leave space of half a meter. The earth, naturally, should be soft, dug up and "fluffy". For the seedling, a small pit is digged, where the root is placed, and a part of the stem is dripped to the first leaves. The earth should be pressed lightly for ramming. Each sprout is well watered. Beside each bush, peg pins 80 cm high - they will soon be needed for the garter. Look after the seedlings carefully, and a good harvest is provided to you!
