How to properly prepare and grow seeds
Buying seeds from a specialized store is the best choice, usually guaranteeing high quality seed. If you use your own or unverified ones, then good preparation should be done for them.
- The seeds must be placed for some time in a special solution that neutralizes all harmful microorganisms in them. To do this, you can use half a teaspoon of baking soda, diluted in one hundred milliliters of water. The seeds should lie in this solution for a day. Also suitable is 1 gram of potassium permanganate, diluted in one hundred milliliters of water. The seeds need to be in such a liquid for about half an hour. And finally, half a teaspoon of phytosporin, also diluted in one hundred milliliters of water, can also perfectly play the role of an antibacterial solution. It is better to keep the seeds in it for two to three hours.
- After the seeds have been in the solution for the right time, a new "pool" awaits them. The material should be placed in the juice of grated potatoes and kept there for 12 hours.
- As for the land, the garden soil is home to bugs, bacteria and other pests. Therefore, before planting seeds in it, the earth must be subjected to good temperature treatment. For example, you can do this in a conventional oven: 40 minutes at 90 degrees. You can also rid the soil of pathogens by using freezing or a solution of potassium permanganate of a burgundy hue.
- After any of these manipulations, the soil needs to rest for about 3 weeks so that its microflora is fully restored.
Then, when the soil is resting, you need to fill it with nutrients. For this purpose, it is necessary to add rotted humus to it.
- Next, pour this earth into plastic cups and plant two seeds in each of them.
- After that, our seedlings need to be placed in a warm place with good lighting so that the seeds receive enough light and germinate successfully. Watering is not necessary very often, otherwise the root system of tomatoes will rot, but it is also necessary to maintain the optimal amount of moisture.
- Now you need to prepare the soil at the site of the future planting. To do this, you need to give the soil a sufficient amount of useful elements in the form of any fertilizers and then plant future tomatoes on the beds in a checkerboard pattern. It is important that the distance between the shoots is about sixty centimeters.
Now let's talk about the most important aspect of getting a good harvest of tomatoes - proper care for them.
How to care for tomatoes
In order for the tomatoes to grow actively and give a good harvest, it is necessary to make a special liquid that will need to be applied from the very planting of the vegetables to their ripening.
How to make a watering solution:
- in a three-liter jar you need to pour two and a half liters of melted or settled water;
- pour warm water into a glass and add one hundred grams of yeast there. You also need to pour granulated sugar into this glass in the same volume;
- add this mixture to the water, which is in a three-liter jar, cover with gauze and send to a place with sufficient heat, then wait until the fermentation process is completed. The special solution is ready.
In ten liters of water, it is necessary to add the resulting liquid so that a solution of the desired concentration comes out. They should water the tomatoes three times in the summer:
- three days after the culture was planted and managed to take root;
- during flowering;
- when the first tomatoes start to appear.
Important! Under each bush, you need to pour at least one liter of a special solution so that the tomatoes not only grow well and give a bountiful harvest, but also to protect the fruits from external irritants. Tomatoes that were fed with such a liquid have the following positive properties: to a lesser extent suffer from late blight, are less susceptible to ultraviolet radiation, and more easily tolerate the hot summer the weather.
But do not forget to fertilize tomatoes with other useful substances and preparations. And also pay special attention to a good irrigation regime, which will protect tomatoes from the appearance of bacteria, pests and diseases.
