Experienced gardeners try to prepare planting material as well as possible to ensure a high percentage of seed germination.

Many methods are used for this.

However, the simplest and most effective method is to use ordinary ash.

How to use the product correctly

First, you should prepare one liter of water. It should be at room temperature. Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, advises to wait until the liquid settles to avoid sediment.

Then we add just 1 spoon of ash and wait 24 hours.

We send the planting material into the ash solution for six hours. All that remains is to dry the seeds and begin the planting process.

Also, some summer residents believe that the amount of ash can be increased to make the solution more concentrated and nutritious.

Others increase the exposure time, leaving the ash to infuse for 48 hours instead of a day.

It is believed that after such treatment, the seeds not only germinate well, but also allow the plants to grow strong and powerful.
