What to look for when buying seeds: just 2 points on which the future harvest depends
In spring, which, as we know, is just around the corner, summer residents will have numerous jobs to do in the form of sowing and forcing seedlings of vegetables and flowers.
The success of your endeavors depends on whether you buy quality seeds, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication Belnovosti, an agronomist, and a landscape designer.
And indeed, it would be a shame if you spent a lot of money on seed material, and instead of friendly and strong shoots, weak, non-viable sprouts appear.
In this case, you will have to replant the crop, which will undoubtedly result in a loss of valuable time.
Experience shows that sometimes the quality of seeds does not correspond to the declared characteristics. This problem is especially typical for small companies.
Mixed sorting is no less rare.
In this regard, experienced gardeners mostly try to purchase seed material from well-known manufacturers.
In addition, there are 2 more points that deserve your attention. So, when buying seeds, you should carefully study:
- The expiration date of the seed material – we think no explanation is needed here.
- Integrity and quality of packaging – foil bags are better protected from moisture.
