Proper care and cultivation of Black Moor tomatoes
If someone thinks that caring and growing tomatoes is a trifle, then he is mistaken. In fact, improper care and growing leads to the fact that tomatoes either do not bear fruit or grow small and tasteless.
The first thing to learn - tomato "Black Moor" must be grown through seedlings. To do this, you need to select high-quality tomato seeds and harden them: each swollen seed must be kept in frost at a temperature of -2 ... -3 degrees Celsius for 3 days, and then pickle them with potassium permanganate. From the end of March to mid-April, the seeds are surfacely planted in a slightly compacted soil, which is then mulched with peat or a soil layer, or in shallow grooves (about 3 centimeters in depth). Then the seeds need to be poured with warm water, covered with a film and placed in a warm room (room temperature). When the first shoots appear, the covering film must be removed and the seedlings placed in a bright place. The soil where the Black Moor tomatoes will be planted needs to be prepared in advance (in the fall): carry out a quality digging and make humus. And in the spring, before the seedlings are planted in the soil, mineral fertilizers are introduced into it.
Seedlings of the Black Moor require irrigation with warm water, and only on the soil, and not on the leaves themselves. Seedlings are planted in wells, into which 0.5-1 liters of water are pre-poured. Then each plant is sprinkled with humus or dry earth. The distance between each planted plant should be about 10 centimeters, and the distance between the rows should be about 12 centimeters. The next watering is carried out only three days after planting; if necessary, non-established plants are replaced with new ones.
