How to prepare a place?

Greenhouse preparation is one of the most important stages in the cultivation of tall varieties. Properly prepared greenhouse increases the chances of a good harvest.

1. For the cultivation of tomatoes in the winter, you need to take care of additional lighting. Without it, tomatoes can not even bloom.
2. Planting of tomatoes occurs at the beginning of May, when it is still quite cold at night. To avoid freezing of bushes at night, it is recommended to cover the greenhouse with a film in 2 layers. Between the layers need to leave air space. This increases the temperature inside the greenhouse.
3. For better ventilation from all sides of the greenhouse, small windows should be made.
4. Along the perimeter of the greenhouse in advance you need to tighten the cables-fasteners. To further tie them bushes.
5. In addition to strengthen the attachment and the structure itself, as tall tomatoes will be poured, the load on the greenhouse will increase significantly.

The next aspect is land preparation. Last year's soil is removed to a depth of 10-13 cm. The rest is treated with copper sulfate at the rate of 1 tbsp. 10 liters of water. This ensures disinfection of larvae of pests that overwinter in the ground.

In order for the tomatoes not to hurt, it is not recommended to plant them in the same greenhouse for 3 years in a row. It is recommended to observe crop rotation.

After tomatoes, it is best to plant legumes (peas, beans) - they will enrich the soil with nitrogen. You can also plant cabbage, cucumbers, zucchini.

10-12 days before planting the tomato beds are prepared. The process takes place in several stages:

• loosening the soil;
• weed removal;
• application of humus and fertilizers.

If the soil is poor, you need to feed it with a mixture of humus and wood ash. The amount of fertilizer is calculated on 1 sq.m. and is prepared at the rate of 1 cup of ash per 7 kg of humus.

If the soil is rich, then top dressing is produced with the same fertilizer, but with the least amount of humus. In this case, the humus should be no more than 3 kg.

Methods and schemes of placement in the ground

There are 2 ways of planting tall tomatoes. These schemes for planting tomatoes differ by sowing seeds: either directly into the soil at a permanent place or in separate containers for seedlings.

Seedless

How to grow tall tomatoes in this way:

1. For unheated greenhouses, seeds are sown in early May, when the earth is already warm enough. The beds should be high and warm, their height should be at least 80 cm. The bottom of the beds should be covered with grass or compost, and 20 cm of soil should be poured in from above.

   Important. Only early varieties of tall tomatoes grow in a seedless way.

2. Sow seeds need in 2 rows, located at a distance of 50-60 cm from each other. In a checkerboard pattern, the holes are made, the distance between them is about 30 cm. Before sowing tomato seeds, it is recommended to pour the earth with hot water or a weak solution of manganese for disinfection.
3. Seeds are laid out in each well in the amount of 1-2 pieces, powdered with soil and watered with warm water. After the tomatoes have risen, the airing is done depending on the weather.
4. Watering tall tomatoes is plentiful and often not necessary, as they are not cropped and transplanted. The plant independently extracts moisture from the soil, thanks to its powerful root system. Watering should be done only on hot, dry days. The recommended frequency is 3 times a week.

How to care for tomato seedlings?

Care for tall tomatoes has its own characteristics. Proper and timely formation of the bush is one of the most important procedures.. Untimely removal of stepsons in tall tomatoes adversely affects the yield of the plant. Lateral branches take a lot of moisture, preventing the correct and rapid development of the tomato bush. Remove the stepsons when they reach the length of 4-5 cm. Hemp is not left.

What else needs to be considered?

• In greenhouse conditions, tall tomatoes are grown in 1-2 stem. The first stepson remains under the first flower brush, the second under the second flower brush. The quality of the stepson for the formation of the second trunk plays a big role - you need to leave the thickest.
• Tie tomatoes regularly. This should be done so that the bushes do not fall and do not break under the weight of the fruit.
• Every 14 days it is recommended to remove unnecessary lower leaves to prevent plant infection with viral diseases.
• Airing of the greenhouse is made daily. This prevents the formation of gray mold.
• Regularly fertilize the soil under the tomato compounds rich in nitrogen and potassium.
• Tall tomatoes require the introduction of not only mineral, but also special complex fertilizers enriched with phosphorus and potassium.
• It is recommended to add mulch and manure to the soil. Mulching tomatoes need several times throughout the season, and spray ACC (aerated compost tea) is recommended weekly.

So, with the proper preparation of the greenhouse for planting, observing the technology of planting and proper care of the bushes, you can grow healthy tomatoes, which will be pampered with a bountiful harvest.
