How to grow healthy and stocky tomato seedlings in a folk way.
To get a rich harvest of tomatoes, first of all, you need to purchase or grow your own healthy and strong seedlings. More than half of the successful result depends on the quality of the planting material.
Over the years, through trial and error, I have learned how to grow my own seedlings of a quality that can produce an excellent vegetable harvest anyway.
Today I would like to share with you some secrets that I learned from other gardeners and which I myself came to over the years.
One of the highlights is seed preparation.
If you bought the seeds in a specialized store, they are already ready for planting, but if the seeds are collected by you personally, decontamination should be carried out.
Also, in order to select the best seeds, they must be immersed in salt water: sunken seeds are more suitable for sowing. The ones that float to the top will be "empty".
Next, you need to pay attention to the ground. I usually buy ready-made soil for growing seedlings. How many times have I tried to make the earthen mixture myself, but the store version is still better.
When the seedlings are planted in the beds or greenhouses, after a while it should be fed. There are a wide variety of fertilizers available in stores, but I prefer to use only natural products.
You will have to cook them yourself, but you will grow organic vegetables.
Thus, I prepare the following top dressing: pour the washed potatoes in the skin with water and cook until tender. Vegetables can be used for food, and pour tomato seedlings with broth.
If you do not eat potatoes cooked in "uniforms", you can boil the potato skins separately, and pour the cooled broth over the tomatoes.
To strengthen the root system of tomatoes, I usually add a couple of drops of iodine to the broth. Potato top dressing can be applied once a week.
Thanks to such a simple fertilization, you can get an excellent harvest of tomatoes.
Of course, do not forget about the treatment of plants from various diseases, such as late blight.
For this, you can also choose more gentle options in order to poison your body with chemistry as little as possible.
