When growing tomato seedlings, as well as any other crop, soil plays a key role.

Experienced gardeners do not recommend using purchased soils for this purpose.

For sowing tomato seeds, use a composition that includes fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium instead.

Nitrogen promotes the development of green mass, and phosphorus and potassium affect root growth.

As a result, you will not have to feed the seedlings, and the seedlings will grow strong with a well-developed root system.

In addition, to get strong trunks with green leaves and developed roots, you can add humus or bird droppings to the soil.

Alternatively, use wood ash, which is rich in minerals and trace elements necessary for plant growth.

All these additives should be thoroughly mixed into the soil before sowing the seeds. This will provide the seedlings with the necessary nutrients and help them grow healthy and strong.
