Dishes for seedlings

Now a lot of different specialized dishes for growing are on sale. But it is worth considering that at first the seeds are planted in a seedling box with a height of about 12 cm, and then during a dive, the seedlings are transplanted in separate containers with volumes of at least 200 g .

Therefore, it is possible to adapt for the seating boxes:

• Milk and juice boxes;
• Cropped 5 liters.plastic bottles;
• Wooden boxes.

Disposable cups with a volume of 200 and 500 grams are well suited for a container in which they are transplanted about pickled sprouts.

For planting seedlings, containers with a height of about 12 cm are needed; after diving,

Required soil composition

After selecting the pots, you should choose the right ground where you can plant the seeds. First of all, it must be nutrient and loose .Therefore, you can buy soil in the appropriate store.

• The seeds of are germinated on a wet napkin, and as soon as the sprout spout comes, it is planted in a glass with the ground.

Seed viability can be determined by sprouting on an

napkin. Seeds purchased from reputable companies have already been tested for germination and have been treated with growth stimulants, so they should not be soaked.

How to sow the seeds in the ground

Prepared soil is poured into containers and moistened with the help of bottom watering. After the excess water leaves on the surface of the soil, small trenches with an depth of less than 5 mm are made, it is convenient to do it with a ruler, so the rows are exactly. In the trench put the seeds in steps of 2.5 cm and sprinkled with earth. Between the trenches leave 4 cm.

After sowing seeds, cover the containers with glass or put them in a plastic bag. This will protect the soil from drying out and will create greenhouse conditions with the help of which friendly tomato shoots will appear.

Dive

A dive of tomatoes is made when the plant has two true leaf plates on the sapling. To do this, soak the soil well and carefully remove one seedling and transplant it into a separate container according to the root system. The most convenient way to do this is at home or in an apartment.
