We grow tomatoes for 2 pcs. in each well. Advantages and disadvantages

Probably many of those reading this article, planted seedlings of tomatoes for 2-3 pieces in the hole as in the greenhouse and in the open field. I have enough for a family of 50-60 bushes, are no longer required. Previously I planted more, but came to the conclusion that the extra tomatoes do not need.

2 bush can be planted as a tall and dwarf varieties of tomatoes. It is also necessary to follow the rotation. At least, after potato planting is impossible, because, like tomatoes, it suffers from the same illnesses as tomatoes, both cultures belong to the family Solanaceae. The best precursors - is onions, carrots.

How to plant the seedlings

On beds do wells spill cups seedlings with water to easily taken out from the container without damage to the roots. With the seedlings of tomato, which is grown in its infancy, there are no problems. Just unfolded diaper and placed in the well.

The seedlings which are grown without picks, with bedding soil, can be grown on the bush 2 in the bulk container. And for the transplant into the hole to land immediately, without sharing seedlings.

The distance between the bushes is the same as in the single planting tomatoes - 50 cm. Row spacing - 60 cm. I do wells around the roots for watering. After landing ground in the bushes hole well shed.

Care

Initially, plant care is no different from the care of single plants. Also fed green manure, ash solution, mulch and watered.

But as soon as the time comes to form the tomato plants, it is necessary to tinker with them. Stepson will be a lot, just look for them. It is necessary and unnecessary to remove leaves and stems, the plants well ventilated and there was not gelled, or phytophthora is not exactly avoided or she will be ahead of time.

And it is with indeterminate tomato plant can not proceed with the pruning laterals. Last year I was a little delayed with the removal of excess shoots to double the bushes, so I had to suffer with the intricacies of that Mama Do not Cry.

Still, I deal with it, although had to sweat a couple of hours. But it's worth it because you get large fruit. Without removing the leaves and the fruit will be small stepchildren.

Other problems were not of double planting. benefits only. This is a great savings in the area place twice. And the yield on these bushes will be high. The fruits are large as in single plantings.

Also, many gardeners recommend making and dual peppers planting. Harvest is obtained in 2 times more. But, as shown by my experiment, It is better to plant the peppers at one piece per well.

Thus, the dual bushes showed itself only with the best hand. Only one caveat - it's timely pruning and maintenance of stepchildren bush 2-3 stalk.
