How to plant eggplant seedlings in open ground
You need to choose loose, fertile soil for this vegetable. After all, this culture does not like a lot of moisture. It is also impossible to plant eggplants where potatoes were grown last season, there were tomatoes. But the land after cucumbers, onions, and melons will love this plant.
At the time of work, the soil must be warmed up to at least + 15 ° C. Usually, it is the end of May – the beginning of June.
Holes for planting seedlings should be made according to the scheme 30 by 60 cm. Eggplants do not like tightness, so the more space the plants have, the better the chances of a good harvest.
Planting seedlings on a clear day and too deep is dangerous. And before starting work, you should put a couple of tablespoons of ash in the holes, and then water the soil with a solution of water with manganese to protect the plant from pests and diseases.
Eggplant seedlings can take a long time to take root, often the leaves of seedlings even turn yellow. To avoid this, it is necessary to provide vegetables with shade artificially, because when the seedlings take root, they need sunlight.
