Before sowing, tomato seeds should be soaked in a damp cloth and heated at a temperature of 24-26 ᵒC.

Sowing is carried out on nutrient grounds, purchased in a specialized gardening shop, or prepared independently according to the following recipe:

garden land (not to take from the places where they grew solanaceous crops);
mature compost;
ripened humus farm animals;
coarse sand.

All ingredients are mixed in a ratio of 1: 1: 1: 1. 30 g of superphosphate, potassium sulphate and ammonium nitrate are added to a bucket of such a prepared mixture. Everything is mixed and left for aging. Ideally, such a mixture should be harvested in the fall, but if this is not possible, then at least two weeks before the seed is sown.

Seeds are sown in total capacity, spreading them at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other. Sow crops with glass or film. Before germination, the temperature is maintained at 24-26 ᵒC, and as soon as the seedlings are visible, it is lowered to 14-16 ᵒC at night and 16-18 ᵒC during the day.

timely watering;
airing;
abundance of light.
