Once, in the beginning of his career gardener, I, having read all sorts of clever ideas and enriched with valuable Knowledge in output came to my mother, to personally observe the correct seedling tomatoes.
Everything was much easier than it usually is described in special articles and books. Mom did not bother much with the selection of land and soaking seeds. Any difference between science and practice for all these years, she did not feel, so that the seeds in the ground it puts dry and disinfected in a potassium permanganate. And the harvest we lacking in abundance.
As for the earth - usually taken earth from the garden, is mixed with compost, all this soak for 12-15 hours and la Voie - soil is ready for planting.
The emergence of seedlings
But the trouble with seedlings, of course, more. It can not pour or nedolivat, keep the sun or hide in the shade, to create heat or kept cold, feed and even a bunch of what "can not".
But here are the basic things that do not recommended if you want to get a strong healthy seedlings!
1. You can not dive seedlings ahead of time
Repot the plant can not be hatched as long as they do not appear 2-3 real leaf. Otherwise, the plant can not survive for a long time, or sick.
2. You can not pour tomato seedlings
can not fill the seedlings at any age. This will lead to root rot and death of the future carrier beneficial fruits. Aha, now the tomatoes - the fruit :)
3. Do not hold the tomatoes in the crush.
One plant - one pot. Logical. After all, until the plants grow, they get tangled roots. In the meantime, we will unravel them (to break), tender roots tear. As a result - the plant will again have to spend time and energy to restore the broken root system ..
4. should not rush to feed the seedlings
Small plants is enough nutrients in the soil. Fertilizing green kids will remind zakarmlivanie own child kilograms of oranges, especially if he is allergic to orange fruit.
5. Do not create too tomatoes greenhouse conditions
It is better to gradually accustom them to a fresh atmosphere. On our sunny south side of the mid-April boxes with seedlings on day move to the glazed balcony, and in May - are there to spend the night.
By the way! And here in the photo was the most experimental pepper. Remember, I told both sowed conventional stores peppers from the refrigerator dry seeds with boiling water, and he went up together already on the 7th day! Who else knows about this most interesting triple my experiment, read about ithere.
6. You can not ignore the light regime
Do not give them too much sun leaves from the abundance of light start to fade, the plant - to be ill. Again, on the south side we hung large sheets, which falls on a bright day, creating a very light shade. Those who are less fortunate (the north or west side) can not be deprived of light seedlings, can not do without fitolampy. And it would be good to make light accrue to everyone equally. Therefore, small plants are moved closer to the sun, and tomatoes are put behind the teenage kids.
7. It can not be too early to plant the seedlings in the ground
They simply may not have the strength to survive in the harsh conditions of the wild (slightly cultivated) nature. A frost in central Russia happen until June. Of course, overgrown seedlings - is also not good. Therefore, we plant the seeds in several stages, so that if the first batch will not survive, could be to plant new plants strong. The remaining surplus distributed to the neighboring areas.
In principle, all these "impossible" is quite logical and simple. And the use of wise counsel has never stopped anyone. Do not forget to share a note with his friends in their social networks.
