Over the past few years, new ways of planting tomatoes have emerged. Currently, planting tomatoes in a snail in a greenhouse has begun to gain popularity. People who use snail growing claim that planting this way is quite simple. To do this, just spread the planting material on moistened toilet paper and wrap it in a small roll. Not so long ago, Yulia Minyaeva improved this method.
The Tomato Lovers Club and many gardeners, together with Yulia Minaeva, tested the new planting method and were convinced of its effectiveness. Therefore, in order to understand how to successfully plant tomatoes, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the new planting method from Yulia Minyaeva in advance.
Advantages of the method
Planting and growing tomato seedlings in diapers is rapidly beginning to gain popularity among most gardeners. This happened due to the fact that Yulia Minaeva was able to prove the effectiveness of this method and showed everyone its main advantages. To the advantages planting tomatoes in diapers can be attributed:
- Tomato seedlings grown using this method will have a well-developed root system. The development and growth of roots is improved due to the fact that the seedlings grow at a distant and equal distance from each other. Also, this arrangement of seedlings greatly simplifies their pinching and diving.
- Watering plants in snails from Yulia Minaeva is much easier. To do this, just pour a little heated water into the container.
- Plants planted in a greenhouse in snails and diapers will not be able to stretch upward very much. This will allow them to form better and not expend too much energy on growth.
- If you plant seeds in a diaper, you can save a lot of free space. Such containers fit easily on window sills and do not take up much space.
- Picking tomatoes in Korean style in snails is much easier. At the same time, diving does not harm the plants and does not damage their root system.
To evaluate the effectiveness of this method, Yulia Minaeva recommends planting half of the planting material in the traditional way, and the second part using her planting method. By comparing the results of the experiment, everyone can independently assess how much better the improved method is.
Seed preparation
Before planting tomatoes in a snail using Yulia Minyaeva’s method in a greenhouse, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of preparing seed material.
If the seeds have been stored for a long time in a damp and cool room, then they must be warmed up before planting. In this case, the temperature should gradually rise to 50-60 degrees. It is recommended to warm the seeds on a heated radiator for 2-3 days. It is not recommended to warm up hybrid varieties of tomatoes.
After warming up, you can begin to disinfect the seeds. Using this procedure, you can get rid of pathogens that may be on the surface of the seeds. There are several ways to disinfect planting material. Quite often a manganese solution is used for this. It is poured into a small container and heated to 35 degrees. Then the seeds are placed in it and soaked for 10 minutes.
In order for tomatoes planted in the garden to bear fruit well, they must be treated with special nutrient solutions. They will improve the quantity and quality of the harvest several times. To do this, you can use the drugs Immunocytofit or Epin. The seeds can also be treated with aloe vera or potato juice.
Landing
Growing tomatoes in snails in a greenhouse from Yulia Mineeva is a rather difficult and labor-intensive task. However, if you understand the peculiarities of this process, you will be able to grow strong tomatoes for seedlings.
To get good seedlings by the beginning of 2018, you need to create a high-quality snail in advance. To do this, you will have to prepare a film, soil, substrate, seeds, rubber bands and a special container.
First, the working surface is covered with oilcloth so as not to stain it with soil. Then the substrate is prepared. To do this, use a knife to cut a small strip about 20 cm wide.It is placed on the work surface, after which a strip of toilet paper is placed on it. It is soaked with plain water or a growth stimulant so that the seedlings in the snails germinate faster.
We plant the seeds at a distance of 3-5 cm from the beginning of the snail. To do this, each seed is taken with tweezers and placed on the surface of the strip. Sow tomatoes at a distance of 2 cm from each other. After placing all the seeds, you can roll up the snail. This is done from the side where the seeds began to be laid out. Then the snail is placed in a small container and immediately covered with film. This is done to maintain optimal humidity levels and create a greenhouse effect.
After a few days, it is necessary to check the snail in the greenhouse, since already 2-3 days after planting, the first shoots may appear under the diaper. If most of the seeds have become germinated seedlings, then the snail will have to be placed on its side and unwound. This is done very carefully so as not to accidentally harm the young seedlings.
Seeds that do not have time to hatch should be thrown away and replaced with other seeds.
Before wrapping the snail again, the soil is fed. The fertilizer is spread on the surface in a small layer of several centimeters. It must be moistened in advance with a spray bottle and compacted thoroughly. Then the snail is twisted again and secured with a rope or rubber band.
Care
Tomatoes that are grown in snails need proper care. They should be watered periodically with settled water. After each watering, a small plastic bag is placed on the snail to create a greenhouse. This procedure is repeated until the first shoots appear. Then, after watering, it is not necessary to cover the snail with a bag or special film.
In warm sunny weather, it is recommended to place young seedlings on a windowsill under the rays of the sun. However, they should not stay there for too long. A few hours a day will be enough.
When the seedlings grow a few centimeters, they will have to be replanted. To do this, carefully unfold the snail and remove each seedling from there. After this, they are transplanted into larger containers or into open ground.
Conclusion
Sowing tomatoes using the method proposed by Yulia Minyaeva is not so difficult. Before doing this, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the features of this process. You also need to contact any amateur tomato growing club, where they can describe the process of sowing tomatoes according to Yulia Minaeva.
