A month before transplanting the soil is desirable to improve phosphorus-potassium fertilizers (90-100 g/sq m). If the soil is clay, it is necessary to add sand and peat (15-20 kg/ sq. m), peaty sand and clay (15 kg/sq. m), sandy - loam and peat (5 kg/sq m), sour - lime (150-200 g/sq m).

With a spade dig a planting hole with a minimum width of 50 cm and a depth of 25-30 cm Distance between them should be 3-4 meters. Pour them into humus, a mixture of fertile land, peat, ash. Do not use fresh manure, since with him there is a risk to bring in weed seeds.
