TIPS FOR GROWING TOMATOES IN A CLOSED SOIL - MORDOVIA

The season has not yet begun, there is a lot of free time. Harvesting has been done long ago, the soil has been prepared for spring, vegetables have been planted for the winter (garlic, black onion, parsley, small onion set so that it does not dry before spring - we do this every year and get good yields). Thanks to Mother Earth!

And today I decided to talk heart to heart with my favorite magazine about the finest vegetables - tomatoes. I never had a greenhouse, I always planted them in open ground under a non-woven shelter with arches, and last year my husband bought a 3 × 8 m polycarbonate greenhouse.

We placed it in the garden from north to south on wooden blocks, which were impregnated with a special compound so that they would not rot, and outside they were covered with flat slate below - 30 cm. We made two tracks 40 cm wide, and we got two narrow beds along the edges of the greenhouse (60 cm wide) and one wide in the center (100 cm wide).

They brought into the soil rotten rabbit manure, some wood ash. The beds were raised by 20 cm and draped over them with a flat slate so that the earth did not crumble. The tracks were made of boards, everything turned out beautifully, you can see it in the photo. They hung two thermometers - one from the north, the other from the south. And in this position everyone left until spring.

I faced a big challenge: learn all about tomatoes grown in such greenhouses, since I knew nothing about it and did not know how to work in the greenhouse. But it was easier and much easier for me to master a new science.

I found the necessary articles - there was no time to be bored in the winter, I started studying. I learned so much new and interesting! Many thanks to gardeners who shared their experiences and gave the necessary advice on growing tomatoes in a greenhouse. Although I am a summer resident with great experience (35 years), but I learned so much useful about these vegetables!

Tomatoes I sowed February 26 with my seeds. Varieties: Persimmon, Volgograd, Bull heart, Liang, In memory of astronaut Volkov, Skorospelka, Lightbulb (I do not know the exact name of the variety, but its fruits are sweet, like candy). When shoots appeared, put the boxes on the south window. After the appearance of two true leaves, he opened them into milk cartons, deepening them to cotyledon leaves. She collected the boxes all winter, cut off the top, leaving 15, see. This is very convenient when planting seedlings: you cut the box from four sides from top to bottom, the earthen clod does not crumble and the seedlings are not sick, it is immediately taken into growth.

The soil was prepared in the autumn. Our land is neutral, chernozem, a little rabbit humus was brought in, a little ash (a glass on a bucket of earth), a little washed river sand, everything was thoroughly mixed, put two buckets in bags, tied up, laid out inside with a thin layer all over the bag and in this position left in the garage.

Why a thin layer? Because if we missed the pests, they will die in the winter.

In February, the land was poured into buckets, poured hot (50-60 °) with water, allowed to dry for two or three days and laid out in boxes, which were placed in boxes. 17 March, in these boxes spattered seedlings, it is well caught. April 29 planted seedlings in the greenhouse, having pre-watered well with earthen clod with warm water so that it would not crumble upon landing. Once again after planting poured warm water. They closed both doors, both windows and left them for 10 days. If you promised frosts, covered them with non-woven material.

Airing the tomato greenhouse: scheduled

Tomatoes grew rapidly. When the first stepchildren appeared, I gently broke them off, tilting everyone away from myself, after which he easily broke off. The husband prepared hooks of length 30-40 cm from a metal rod, we stuck them near the roots. They made a loop from the twine, threw it on a hook, around it a bush was formed in one or two stalks. The weather last year was very hot.

Therefore, in order for tomatoes to be pollinated from 8 to 10 in the morning hours at a temperature of 25-26 °, I went through and slightly shaken the plants, because at a temperature of 28-35 ° pollen becomes sterile and pollination does not occur.

And so that insects would fly on the beds, planted basil at the beginning and at the end of the greenhouse, which would attract pollinating insects with its scent.

Pasynki and unwanted leaves broke off during the whole season, watering abundantly once a week. We opened all the doors and windows to 6 in the morning and were never left open at night.

In June-July they were closed at 19:00 at a temperature in the greenhouse of 25-26 °, and then at 16:00 at the same temperature so that the dew did not settle on the plants and the fog didn’t get into the greenhouse - we have cool nights . And in order to avoid condensation, we cut non-woven material 1 m wide and 5-6 m long, put it between the arcs from the bottom up and again down the entire length of the greenhouse inside, this is very easy to do.

The first tomatoes picked 20 Jun, Bull Heart variety, 300 g each. But Volgograd was especially successful, some copies were on 600-650 r!

In general, the harvest was just fine, the tomatoes are all large, juicy, tasty - everyone had plenty.

Dear gardeners, have a good winter holiday after a well-deserved summer work, good health and a good start to the season!

Do tomatoes grown in a greenhouse need mustard wings? I read that if you break the greenhouse into cells with densely sown mustard and grow one tomato in each, the plants will not get late blight and give a richer crop. Is it so?

  - Most often, the scenes are used to protect open ground plants from wind and heat. For this, you can use corn, sunflower and other tall plants. As for greenhouse plants, there is no point in creating backstage for them. The greenhouse already has its own microclimate, and mustard will only occupy part of the area and compete with tomatoes. At the same time, I do not exclude the possibility that individual plants will yield a larger crop, but at the expense of the wings you will plant fewer tomatoes, and the total number of crops will be less.
  If we talk about the benefits of mustard as a siderate, then it rather protects against root rot than from late blight. Therefore, it is better to grow it as a green manure before planting and after harvesting tomatoes. In this case, the root secretions of mustard will suppress harmful microbes, and the green mass will partially replace manure.
