It's all about proper preparation of seeds for planting: the seeds are soaked for several days in clean and warm water - no higher than 50 degrees - which should be changed 5-6 times a day. After the procedure, the dill should be dried and planted not in rows, but in bunches.

What mistakes to avoid when growing dill

Seeds

The most common is sowing old seeds. It is better not to sow them, so as not to waste time and useful space.

Grooves

They are formed using a board so that the dill lies on a hard surface and sprouts evenly.

Deep planting of seeds is unacceptable. As a rule, 3-4 cm of soil, which is used to cover the seeds, is quite sufficient.

Thickening

On dense soil, dense plantings will cause the greens to turn yellow faster.
