How to prepare (buy) the right soil for seedlings: what should be in the composition and what should not be here
A prerequisite for a rich harvest or a lush flower garden is suitable soil for seedlings.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , most vegetable and flower crops need loose and fertile soil.
Another important soil criterion is that it should have a neutral or slightly acidic reaction.
If you decide to prepare a soil mixture for seedlings or buy a ready-made version in a store, pay attention to the components that must be present here.
First of all, it is peat. It should be crumbly and not sour. This component is needed to ensure active growth and full development of the root system.
An important component is also humus. In this case, the dosage should be taken very seriously, since the roots of young plants are not able to absorb nutrients in significant quantities.
In addition, experienced gardeners always add turf (loose garden soil) to the soil.
Finally, make sure that the soil contains coarse sand (perlite).
