Planting tomatoes in greenhouses and greenhouses
Tall varieties
These varieties save space in the greenhouse, allowing you to grow the maximum yield with a minimum of plants. 1 bush can give about 10 clusters, on which 5 tomatoes or more ripen. Such tomatoes do not interfere with each other's growth, do not create shade and do not require careful maintenance.
The order of planting seedlings: the distance between the beds is from 70 cm to 1 m, the distance between plants is 50-70 cm.
Adult bushes must be tied to wooden or metal trellises so that the stems do not spread over the ground, which contains not only nutrients, but also fungi.
Medium-sized varieties
Such tomatoes are planted a little closer than the previous ones:
- passage between the beds - from 70 to 80 cm;
- the distance between the bushes is from 55 to 60 cm.
If necessary, the indicated values can be slightly adjusted. If you create optimal conditions for tomatoes, at least 7-8 kg of ripe tomatoes can be removed from 1 bush.
Low-growing varieties
Because most of them are early ripening, such tomatoes are in great demand among gardeners. They can be planted close enough to each other. This will save space in the greenhouse and plant more bushes:
- the distance between the beds is from 25 to 30 cm;
- step between seedlings - from 45 to 50 cm.
If you plant tomatoes in a checkerboard pattern, at least 10 seedlings can be placed on 1 m². From 1 brush, you can collect at least 3-4 ripe fruits.
Growing tomatoes in greenhouses and greenhouses
Before planting, you should first mark the beds and paths between them. For structures with a width of 2.5 to 3.5 m, 2 planting options can be applied.
1-pass method:
- 2 beds - 90 cm wide;
- passage - 60 cm.
Having one pass can be inconvenient for high-quality plant care, but it makes it possible to save space in the greenhouse. When planting seedlings, it should be borne in mind that about 30 cm² of soil should be allocated for 1 plant. Row spacing is 50-60 cm, and between seedlings - 35-40 cm.
2-pass method:
- 3 beds - 65 cm wide;
- passage - 77 cm.
2 paths allow you to freely perform various agricultural work inside the greenhouse. But since bushes in the middle bed may not have enough light, it is recommended to plant tall bushes of tomatoes here.
For structures more than 3.5 m wide, there is another landing method:
- 2 side beds - 50 cm wide;
- 1 central bed - 120 cm;
- passage - from 50 to 70 cm.
It is better to plant hybrids in 1 row in narrower areas, and high varieties - 2-3 seedlings on wide ones, located closer to the central part of the greenhouse. Medium and low crops should be planted near the walls of the greenhouse so that they can receive enough sunlight.
Placing tomatoes in open areas
When planting outdoors, the gardener is not limited by the framework. The main thing is to choose a well-lit area with fertile soil, protected from strong winds.
Parallel landing method:
- the width of the beds is 100 cm;
- the passage between them is 90 cm;
- step between seedlings - 60 cm.
Checkerboard landing method:
- the width of the beds is 1-1.2 m;
- the passage between them is from 90 cm;
- step between seedlings - from 50 cm.
Conclusion
Before planting, it is necessary to remove vegetation and debris from the beds, and then apply organic fertilizers. To do this, you can take humus (for 1 m² - 5 kg). The staggered order of planting tomatoes in the future will simplify the process of caring for adult plants and harvesting. The greater the distance between the bushes, the better for tomatoes, because each of them will receive the necessary portion of light and heat.
If the area of the garden allows, do not save on soil. The larger the passage between the bushes, the lower the risk of contamination of crops with various tomato diseases and fungi. When caring for adult crops, it is necessary to regularly remove dried lower leaves and shoots, which take up most of the nutrients.
