Winter is the best time to go on a “raid” to gardening stores for useful tools and materials that will certainly come in handy for growing seedlings.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what to buy so that the plants are provided with everything they need.

Watering tools

Since watering is one of the basic responsibilities of a gardener in the process of growing seedlings, make sure in advance that you have everything you need to carry it out at hand.

You will need a watering can with a long narrow spout and a spray bottle for spraying the seedlings.

Heating panels and mats

To warm the roots of young plants (this recommendation especially applies to peppers, tomatoes and eggplants), special mats or panels are used that evenly warm the soil.

When choosing such an “accessory”, opt for a mat with an elastic and waterproof surface that is easy to clean and heats up to the desired temperature.

Sowing plates

The plates are a useful attribute, because you can write information about the variety name and sowing date directly on them using a marker, which will prevent you from mixing up the seedlings when planting.

Sowing diary

A regular notebook will do as a diary. Notes made in it about the range of plants grown, their vegetation periods, etc. will help you take the process of growing seedlings under special control.

Earlier, the expert told how to get rid of a stump on a site without uprooting it.
