“How to plant tomatoes in the ground to subsequently harvest a rich harvest of red and yellow beauties?” asked a neighbor in the country last year, in May. Uncle Vasi has a special one. landing tomatoes. He planted them together with “neighbors” in the form of onions and velvets. I decided to try myself. The bushes grew strong, none withered! This year I will be using my technology again.

May holidays have passed, which means it is time to do the garden. The neighbor says tomato Like plasticine: what you need, you make it. It is worth looking at the bush - he will tell you what he needs. Therefore, it is necessary to start “sculpting” your tomatoes even in seedlings.

The second feeding should be done a week after the first. Well, the third should be produced after the appearance of two pairs of real leaves.

It is also good to sow mustard in the legs of tomatoes. The leaves of mustard will be juicy and tasty, and the mustard itself will protect tomatoes from scab and phytophotors, and even the soil will enrich.

The neighboring basil will protect tomatoes from pests, and also improve their taste. The latter task is perfectly handled by melissa, mint, chaber and sage. It is also possible to plant a bow next to it.

But potatoes to tomatoes are definitely not worth planting. Both cultures belong to the same nightshade family, and therefore are subject to the same ailments and pests. Together, they will quickly catch phytofluorosis, and other negative phenomena on them will spread with amazing speed.

Tomato cucumbers are also bad neighbors, as they need different soil. The first need nitrogen, and the second need calcium and phosphorus.

To plant tomatoes, you need to dig holes 40 centimeters deep. Plant the seedlings with an earthen lump directly into the watered earth. Low-growing plants plant directly, overgrown - at a small angle.
