If you find a large amount of old seed material in your bins, do not rush to get rid of it.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh revealed the method that experienced summer residents resort to in order to make such seeds germinate.

The main advantage of this method is not only its high efficiency, as you might think, but also the fact that the product used for germination does not need to be purchased in a store.

Instead, you can make it yourself in 5 minutes.

In order to prepare a solution in which the seeds will subsequently be soaked, only one ingredient is needed – natural bee honey.

The best results will be achieved if the product is as fresh as possible.

So, add a teaspoon of honey to 200 ml of warm water and stir well.

Once the solution is ready, place the seeds in a cloth or gauze and dip them into the liquid, then squeeze them lightly and place them in a container that will be covered with a lid.

Take the container with seeds to a warm place and you will see how they will germinate in 3 days.
