It is not enough to simply buy and plant seeds.

It is also necessary to carry out additional procedures to ensure good germination and that the seedlings are ultimately strong and healthy.

Most summer residents limit themselves to treating the seed material in a solution of potassium permanganate or using Fitosporin; some also germinate the seeds on damp gauze, but there is another stage.

We are talking about saturating the seed material with minerals before planting.

This procedure is especially relevant for peppers and flowers.

You only need to prepare water and wood ash. The latter component can be replaced with a stimulant from the store, for example, "Zircon".

First, the seeds must be disinfected using a method convenient for you.

Next, 20 grams of ash should be diluted in a liter of water.

The next day, the seeds need to be dipped in this solution for 3-5 hours, and then they should be rinsed and dried.

After this, you can proceed to germination or sowing.
