Transplanting seedlings into the main soil is a responsible and important moment.

Therefore, it is not surprising that summer residents try to make this moment in the life of tomatoes as comfortable as possible.

This method is considered to be the best option for caring for tomato seedlings. We are talking, of course, about nitrophoska. It is customary to take no more than ten grams per hole.

Sometimes a summer resident does not have the opportunity to plant tomatoes on time. Sometimes it seems that in such a case an adequate harvest cannot be expected.

You just need to put a spoonful of urea in each hole. If desired, urea can be safely replaced with ammonium nitrate.

For elongated seedlings

If you notice that the tomatoes seem to be somewhat long, then it is worth adding one large spoon of superphosphate to each hole when planting.
