PLANTING TOMATOES SEEDLINGS IN GREENHOUSE/GARDEN

When to plant tomatoes?

In growing tomatoes from seed process it's time now for another step. Planting tomato seedlings in greenhouses or gardens will be done after the seedlings have grown properly and when the temperature outside is favorable. To make this, you need to follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have properly prepared the layers for planting seedlings.

2. Make sure the temperature will not compromise the young seedlings, meaning that it does not fall below 10 degrees C at night. Remove carefully the plants from the containers in the greenhouse or the garden.

3. With a garden planter make 30 drill hole of 30 centimeters.

4. Put ashes in every hole, then plant the seedlings, burying them up to the first leaf.

5. Tomato seedlings are planted in pits with all the land that they had in pots, so as not to damage roots.

6. Cover the holes with soil and then water with warm water.

7. If the temperature drops very much at night, tomato seedlings can be covered with plastic containers.

Following these steps, you are ready with planting tomato seedlings in the garden. During their development, they will be watered only when the soil is too dry. After the fruit appears, water them twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. The manure will fertilize the plants every two weeks. After about three weeks, the plants will be held with some wire so as not to break.

Also, tomatoes will need pruning and also you must remove the yellow leaves from the plant.

Important note: if you do not have garden space for building a greenhouse, you can plant each seedling or two in larger pots and the plant care will be the same.

There is one important aspect to mention: greenhouses, gardens or containers in which you have tomato seedlings should face south in order to receive as much sunlight for heat.

PREPARING THE SOIL LAYERS FOR TOMATOES SEEDLINGS

Until the weather is suitable for planting tomato seedlings in the garden, you have to start preparing the soil layers for growing tomatoes from seed. And you have to do this carefully if you want to have good crops.

So that the work of planting tomatoes from seed is not in vain, you will have to use some special soil. Tomatoes will grow and will be delicious if they have good soil in which to grow. Also, tomatoes are grown without chemical fertilizers, particularly healthy and tasty.
It is important that the soil has the necessary amount of potassium and phosphorus, obtained from natural resources. The proportion that should exist in soil for growing tomatoes is two times more potassium than phosphorus.

To grow tomatoes you can use the following recipe for the soil: 50 litres of soil mixed with about 8 cups of ash and a cup of bone flour. Bone flour can be replaced with chicken or fish bones in dry ground. Bone flour can be found at a veterinary pharmacy.
The ash you use will have to come only from wood, not from plastic or other paper and paperboard. Thus, assured sources of potassium (ash) and phosphorus (bone flour) will help the development of tasty tomatoes.

I used this recipe and I can say that the results were very good.
