  1. Plant tomatoes and cucumbers in different beds so that the cucumber shoots do not block the light from the tomatoes.
  2. When planting, do not make the plants too dense so that they do not experience a lack of light during the growth process.
  3. When planting, it is better to add hydrogel to each hole.
  4. Mulch the soil to prevent moisture evaporation.
  5. If a lot of condensation forms on the walls, ventilate the greenhouse. Inspect the plants for diseases and water them according to their needs, not together.
