You can also use 5-6 nettle leaves, a handful of wood ash or 2 tablespoons of bone or fish meal.

In addition to these fertilizers, you can also use a teaspoon per hole of urea, potassium sulfate and double and quarter humus superphosphate. Everything needs to be mixed well with the soil.

The soil for tomatoes is usually chosen loose, with good permeability for air and water, weak (pH 5.5-6.5) or neutral acidity.

The soil must also have a sufficient supply of nutrients for normal growth and development of the vegetable crop.
