It's time to sow vegetable seeds for seedlings. Summer residents were told what to do to ensure that sowing goes smoothly and successfully.
At the very least, you need to pay attention to soil preparation.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, told how to quickly and easily sow tomato and pepper seeds.
It is important to choose high-quality fertile soil.
For seedlings, it is recommended to give preference to high-moor peat with a neutral pH value.
It is believed that such a composition does not contain pathogenic microflora, which can cause plant diseases.
If you are not sure about the quality of the soil, it is recommended to treat it.
At home, summer residents use boiling water, an oven, and other folk tricks.
But it is important to remember that along with pathogenic organisms, beneficial bacteria can also die from boiling water.
Then we add fertilizers with amino acids to the soil (for vegetables or berries), which are easier to buy in the store.
We also add additives that contain soil bacteria.
After this, you can safely begin sowing, for which holes are made in the soil for the seeds at a distance of no less than 1 centimeter from each other.
Cover the top with loose soil and lightly moisten the soil.
