In the coming months, many summer residents will be growing tomato seedlings.

Around the end of spring, gardeners will begin planting young plants in open ground.

And at this stage, you can significantly increase your chances of getting a bountiful harvest.

To do this, you will need to perform only one simple action.

What to put in the hole

It is known that a lump of earth with sprouts needs to be “installed” in previously dug shallow holes.

It is desirable that at the bottom of each of these holes there is a fertilizer sprinkled with soil (for example, superphosphate, manure, onion peel or eggshells). But you should not limit yourself to using these components.

Sometimes it makes sense to put straw in the hole. The presence of dry stems in the hole is a guarantee that the root system of the garden crop will receive enough air.

This circumstance will have a positive effect on the roots: they will become stronger.

As a result, the plant is unlikely to encounter serious problems during its development.

The chances of rapid growth and formation of a large number of fruits will be very high. You can confidently count on a bountiful tomato harvest.
