By feeding tomatoes with certain fertilizers when planting, you can significantly increase the yield.
We tell you what to add to the holes before planting tomato seedlings to get an excellent harvest.
How to feed tomatoes when planting
A week before planting the seedlings, it is necessary to water the soil with a solution of Fitosporin (10 grams per 20 liters of water).
Place a handful of onion peel, a tablespoon of fish meal, a handful of chopped nettle and half a tablespoon of superphosphate into the hole.
Mix the ingredients, add a layer of soil (3 centimeters), and plant the seedlings.
A few hours before planting, the seedlings must be watered generously.
In this case, watering is stopped a week before planting. The soil can be moistened only if the leaves are wilting.
For better survival, you can treat the seedlings with a growth stimulator before planting.
It is advisable to mulch the bed immediately after planting the seedlings.
This helps reduce moisture evaporation and slow down the growth of weeds.
When it gets cold, tomatoes are covered with film/spunbond. Treatment with a growth stimulator will help save frozen tomatoes.
Seedlings should be planted in the afternoon, closer to evening.
