- humus - 3 parts;
- garden soil - 3 parts;
- coarse river sand - 1 part.
All components are combined, mixed until homogeneous, fried in an oven for disinfection.
The mixture is leveled, seeds are sown. From above they crush the earth.
The main conditions for the safe cultivation of seedlings:

- Temperature - 23 - 25 oC.
- Temperature after diving - 18 - 20 oC.

The first feeding of seedlings is carried out after diving, not earlier than 2 weeks later. Subsequently, tomatoes need fertilization twice more.
Transplanting seedlings
In order for the Eternal Call tomatoes to give good harvests of high quality fruits, it is enough to plant up to 3 seedlings per 1 m2... Thus, the bushes will be able to go through a full growing cycle. Adequate space is one of the conditions for high yields.
Once a decade, the soil around the bushes is watered, allowed to absorb moisture and cultivated. The quality of the soil is important, but the defining characteristic is looseness and air circulation. You can pick up any soil. The best option is black soil or earth mixed with humus in advance.
When planting seedlings, they adhere to a certain pattern. It is important that the distance from the bush to the bush is at least 40 cm. To increase the harvest, the bushes must be pinned, leaving up to 3 side shoots.
