“What goes around comes around” is a proverb that perfectly illustrates the importance of preparing planting material.

One of such preparatory measures includes soaking, noted the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

This procedure is carried out so that the seeds awaken and germinate more quickly.

Most often, ordinary water or special compounds are used for soaking, but sometimes summer residents resort to non-standard solutions.

One such unusual option is to use milk as a liquid for soaking seeds.

It is worth mentioning that not every product is suitable, but only natural milk with a high percentage of fat. This is what you will need to dip the carrot seeds into for about 10 hours.

First, pour the seeds into a container, then pour milk over them, and then cover the container with cling film.

After the specified time has passed, the seed material should be laid out on paper so that it dries thoroughly.
