Before sowing, it is necessary to disinfect planting material: for this, you can use a weak solution of potassium permanganate, boric acid or soda. It is necessary to hold them in such a solution throughout the day, then they should be slightly dried. The soil also needs to be disinfected: you can calcine it in the oven at a temperature of no higher than 100 degrees, or you can spill it with a weak pink solution of potassium permanganate.
60 days before you plant seedlings in a permanent place, you should sow seeds for seedlings. By the time of planting in the soil, the seedlings should be strong bushes with ten real leaves, two tassels of flowers, the height of the plant should be at least 35 centimeters. As soon as the first true leaf appears in plants, tomatoes can be dived. To avoid this procedure, you can immediately sow the seeds in individual cups. In the event that you use peat, you can plant tomato Superbomb in a greenhouse or soil directly in them.

Make sure that the air in the greenhouse is not too wet, ventilate it in a timely manner. Particularly plentiful watering should be during the formation of the fruit. Summer residents say: the best method of moistening the soil is a drip irrigation system, which allows the bushes to develop deep, strong roots.
Immediately after planting, as well as after each watering, the soil under the bushes of tomatoes must be mulched. The plant will also need pinching, tying to a support. It is best, experienced gardeners say, to form a bush in three stems.

Please note: the manufacturer recommends removing tomatoes from the bushes before the temperature at night begins to drop below +8 ° C. The thing is that at low temperatures the likelihood of vegetable disease increases. Cleaning should be carried out selectively: first of all, unsightly specimens should be removed.
