If you want your seedlings to grow viable and strong, you should think carefully about the chemical composition of the soil.
You shouldn't use soil from your dacha, as it won't have enough nutrients.
Even if you plan to buy soil, it is still worth improving it.
What can be added to the soil
Shell
Many people also add shells to their garden plots, as they are an accessible and valuable source of calcium and other minerals. It is best to use shells from eggs that have not been heat-treated.
For ten liters of soil, you will need to add the shells left over from four eggs. It should be crushed well, since large pieces are designed for long-term work, which is not suitable for seedling soil, notes landscape designer and agronomist, expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Wood ash
This is a universal product that will help neutralize possible increased soil acidity and enrich the soil with a number of microelements.
As a rule, a lot of ash is required. It is necessary to measure the ash approximately so that it accounts for one sixth of the total mass.
Coconut substrate
Many experienced gardeners use coconut substrate to significantly enrich the soil. It should account for a quarter of the total soil mass.
Coconut substrate allows you to provide seedlings with the most comfortable and nutritious environment.
