How are tomatoes grown?

Growing the Zasolochnoye Chudo tomato is straightforward. Both experienced and novice gardeners grow it. Seedlings are planted in soil-filled containers in March. Before planting, the seeds are soaked in potassium permanganate to disinfect them. Aloe vera juice or liquid Fitosporin can be used instead of potassium permanganate.

After three strong leaves emerge, transplant the seedlings into individual pots and place them in a well-lit area. Harden off the plants by periodically opening windows or taking them outside.

Tomato seedlings, which should be 60 days old, are planted in a greenhouse earlier than in the open garden. The key to a good harvest is planting in warm soil. The soil temperature should be no less than 16…18ºC. The soil should be fertilized with peat and manure, and weeds should be removed.

Up to five bushes can be planted per square meter. Low-growing seedlings will not interfere with each other's growth or disrupt air circulation. Experienced gardeners prefer to plant this variety in rows with 20 cm between plants. Gardeners recommend training a single shoot per bush. Ideally, a bush should have 5-6 clusters.

Compact tomatoes don't need to be tied to a support. Side-sonning is performed as needed. Tomatoes are watered daily. Periodically, the soil is loosened to provide more oxygen to the roots. Gardeners should monitor the condition of the beds and remove weeds promptly. Zasolochnoye Chudo tomatoes require feeding. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are applied several times during the season.

To ensure that the bush produces as many fruits as possible, it is recommended to treat the plantings with a boric acid solution. For every 1 liter of water, add 1 g of the substance. It's best to dissolve the powder in hot water first, then dilute it with cold water.

The bushes are unattractive to pests. The leaves contain a poison that insects fear. The only exception is the Colorado potato beetle. Chemicals sold in specialty stores can help protect against it.
