Among them, the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh names forest moss, hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green, iodine, ash, onion peel, aloe and garlic.
Why don't we try to disinfect the seed material in the same way, using, for example, brilliant green?
This popular antiseptic is able to suppress the development of harmful bacteria on seeds.
Besides, you don’t have to go far to get it – brilliant green is probably in every home medicine cabinet.
