We suggest finding out what is the best way to feed tomato seedlings when planting them in open ground.

In the garden bed, dig planting holes in a checkerboard pattern, then pour into each one 1 tablespoon of wood ash, 1 tablespoon of bone or fish meal, 1 tablespoon of phosphorus-potassium fertilizer and mix everything with the soil.

Thanks to wood ash, seedlings will receive the magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium they need. It can effectively reduce the acidity of the soil.

Bone or fish meal contains useful microelements - nitrogen, iron, phosphorus, zinc and others.

Phosphorus-potassium fertilizer contains micro- and macroelements that are vital for the intensive growth of tomatoes.

After this feeding, plant the seedlings in the planting holes and water them with slightly warm water.

Such feeding and timely watering of seedlings will allow tomatoes to grow quickly, and then you will get a rich and tasty harvest.

Next, install a frame on the bed and cover it with film or agrofibre to avoid recurrent frosts.
