As you know, there are many methods that can be used when sowing radishes.

The traditional option is to place the seeds in furrows at a depth of about 2 cm, leaving a step of 15 cm between rows.

Do not forget to first water the furrows using warm water, and only then, after waiting for the moisture to disappear, lower the seeds into the ground at a distance of 4 cm from each other.

Cover the crops with a thin layer of soil and moisten again, then compact.

To be on the safe side, create a greenhouse effect by covering the bed with film. Thanks to this simple trick, you can also prevent the formation of a soil crust.

Since radishes do not like dry soil, monitor the soil moisture. It is better to organize watering in the morning and evening.

The space between the rows should be carefully loosened the next day after watering.

After 5 days from the emergence of seedlings, they should be thinned out; if the sowing was dense, try to ensure that the distance between seedlings is 4-5 cm.
