  Soil and requirements for planting seeds

  When planting seeds, gardeners usually buy ready-made soil for tomatoes in stores. But for various reasons, this is not always the case: someone does not trust the purchased mixture in the store, someone lives far from the stores.

  For planting seeds the soil should be:

  • Loose ;
  • Fertile .It should be added the optimal amount of organic matter and minerals;
  • With a neutral level of acidity and live microflora;

  Planting seeds and growing characteristics of seedlings

  Tomato seeds Gulliver

  Due to the fact that the variety is early ripe , seeds must be sown 80-90 days before the start of ripening. To seedlings soak faster, you need to let the seeds hatch. To do this, put them on a damp cloth, then in a plastic bag and put them in a warm place on the battery, periodically checking the humidity.

  Seeds show sprouts usually for 4-5 days. After you have prepared the nutrient mixture and seeds, you need to start planting directly. To do this, pour in a plastic container drainage in the form of expanded clay, then the ground and pour it.

  Seeds sow into each container two pieces of for warranty. At the same time, for convenience, pre-make recesses. We cover with a film and expose on the window sill, on the lighted place. As soon as the seedlings appear, the film must be removed.

  When growing seedlings, it is important to observe three conditions: soil moisture, temperature( first 23-24 degrees, then 17-19 degrees) and illumination for 12 hours.

  Planting seedlings in the ground

  The Gulliver variety is early maturing and it is intended mainly for the to plant in the greenhouses , so let's dwell on this. It is better to renew the land in the greenhouse and then process it with copper sulphate( 30 grams per bucket of water).Ventilate the greenhouse, then dig up the ridge with humus.

  Gulliver seedlings should be planted in the greenhouse.

  Fresh manure cannot be added to the soil in the spring, since all the nutritional power will go to the tops. Planted in an unheated greenhouse can be May 15-20 , when the temperature there will be about 25 degrees.

  Seedlings before planting need hardened .To do this, take it 4-5 days into the air, gradually increasing the time.

  The optimal period for seedlings is a period of one and a half months, since during this time the root system manages to form well. The holes are made according to the traditional scheme 45 × 50 cm .When planting, it is important not to deepen the growth point in the ground( approximately 15 cm).After transplantation, the plants must be watered abundantly, but not to damp.

  Care In order to get a good crop of tomatoes, you need to follow a certain agricultural practices. By this is meant:

  • Hilling .Spud the first time you need on the 10th day after planting, then do it every two weeks;

  • Pastage .Regularly remove the axillary inflorescences, after forming a bush on one, two or three branches;
  • Watering .It is necessary to water as the soil dries, in the evening and with warm water( heated in a barrel).

  Watering is done as the soil dries out - in the evening and with warm water.
