5. Slightly press down the soil around the tomatoes, just be careful not to damage the roots of the plants.
6. Once again, plenty of water and tie up the bushes.

The place should be well lit and with good fertile soil that needs to be watered with a weak manganese solution. Dig holes on the spade bayonet equidistantly from each other by 60 cm. Add 5 g of nitrophoska to each well, mix with the ground and pour in abundantly. Plant a seedling with an earthy lump so that the first leaves are almost on the ground.
