Basic mistakes when planting tomato seedlings
The main mistake gardeners make is ignoring a procedure called hardening.
Secondly, many gardeners forget to water the seedlings a day before planting. As a result, the root system is damaged during planting.
Thirdly, not everyone waters seedlings correctly when planting. It is necessary to water not only the plants after planting, but also the holes immediately before planting.
The fourth mistake is planting in cold soil. The soil should warm up to +15-18 degrees, the air temperature should be +19-22 degrees.
However, tomato seedlings cannot be planted in hot weather.
In addition, seedlings should not be planted in infertile soil. Fertilizers must be added when digging the soil or into the holes when planting.
