The beds are made 2 m wide, with paths between them 50 cm. Tomatoes are planted in rows, the distance between plants is 50-60 cm. Less often, it is better to plant, as it is easier to process later, the plants will be better ventilated, less sick. After planting, seedlings are carefully watered so that the roots are not exposed and a crust does not form when dried.
