Gardeners dream of seedlings that don’t get sick and grow strong.
At the same time, many summer residents try to achieve the desired result with minimal costs.
Just a few decades ago, this trick was popular among summer residents and villagers.
But over time it was forgotten. Now only a few remember the trick with onion and garlic juice.
They almost always tried to disinfect seeds before sowing. Healthy planting material ensured strong seedlings and a rich harvest in the future.
When there was no wide range of special tools at hand, they made do with simple but proven methods.
Onions or garlic were grated. The seeds were left in the resulting mixture for a couple of hours. The fragrant vegetable mass kills pathogenic microorganisms.
In addition, as experienced gardeners claim, the onion-garlic mixture softens the seed coat, so the shoots appear earlier.
