Another variant of the earth composition is made from humus, peat and earth, which are also taken in equal parts. You can also add superphosphate, urea and potassium sulfate to the finished mixture.
Seeding seedlings
First you need to conduct sowing seeds for seedlings. Such a procedure is carried out approximately two months before the intended transfer of plants to a permanent place. Most often, this stage is conducted in February, or in the first days of March, so that in the last decade of April, it was possible to move the seedlings to open ground. This is done like this:

- After that, you can start sowing seeds in containers for seedlings. In the ground you need to make holes, the depth of which can vary from 5 to 7 mm. Between the holes it is important to keep a distance of 2-3 cm. If the containers are divided into sections, then one or two seeds will be enough to place in each of them.
- At the end of the process, cover the containers with film to create the greenhouse effect. It is recommended to install the containers in well-lit rooms, where a high temperature is maintained, approximately +24 ° С. Water the seedlings on the seedlings should be only when the ground dries.
The first shoots can be seen after 7-8 days. At this stage it is already possible to transfer the containers with seedlings to a place with a lower temperature. + 18 ° С will be enough. The best option would be the usual solar window sill. Feeding with organic matter should be carried out after the first two leaves are formed on the plant. Suitable for this purpose humus.
At the stage when the plants form three pairs of leaves, it is necessary to pick a pick and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. At this stage, the plants will need to again receive more heat, so that the temperature at + 20 ... +25 ° C will need to be observed for about 4 days, after which the containers will be returned to normal mode.

The wells should be located at a distance of 30 to 70 cm from each other. In each of them, you should first pour a small amount of a solution of potassium permanganate, which will help to disinfect the soil and relieve tomato plants from diseases in the future.
