Ground transplanting

Seedlings that have reached the age of 50-60 days are ready for transplanting. You can take seedlings outside if the soil has warmed up and weather forecasters are not afraid of frost on the soil. Ridges prepare in advance. Dig up the soil, add humus, ash, nitroammophoska and urea to it.

Water and fertilize

The first watering after transplantation should be done in 10 days. This time is enough for the adaptation of seedlings in the ground. During this time, the root system will take root and be able to absorb moisture and nutrients.

Water in summer according to the weather. If there is no rain, water weekly. Do not fill the soil, but shed deep enough. Wetting only the top layer of soil is bad for the development of the tomato bush.
