Melt water, as is known to gardeners with many years of experience, has truly unique properties that promote the growth and development of plants.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about the advantages of using melt water to soak seeds before sowing.

She also shared the recipe for “preparing” melt water at home.

Let's start, as they say, from the beginning. Melt water is a first-class stimulant because it is "soft".

It is enough to remember that in the spring, when the seeds fall into the soil naturally, they are treated with melt water, which awakens them to growth.

Therefore, if you have the opportunity to use melt water to soak the seeds, this will be the best solution.

But what if this valuable recommendation flew out of your head and you “missed” the moment of snow melting?

Don't give up: if you don't have the opportunity to get melt water naturally, you can make it yourself.

To do this, you will need to freeze regular water in the freezer. Important: do not wait until it is completely frozen: a small amount of unfrozen water in a bottle contains all the harmful things that need to be gotten rid of.

This water needs to be drained, and the remaining part needs to be defrosted and used for soaking seeds and watering plants.

Earlier, the expert explained why fragrant tobacco should grow in every area.
