Whatever you say, the seedling growing season is just around the corner. So you can safely prepare the soil for seedlings now – let them wait for their time.

To do this, you will need a bucket of garden soil, the same amount of humus (you can buy it in the store), 0.5 kg of ash, which should be sifted first, 1 kg of the same sand passed through a sieve and 2 tablespoons of azophoska.

If you know that the soil from your garden is dense, you can safely add coconut substrate to it - it will give the soil the desired looseness.

All the “ingredients” need to be mixed, not forgetting to spray the soil several times with a saturated solution of potassium permanganate for disinfection purposes.

That’s basically it – all that’s left is to fill the thick bags with soil and take them to some closet for storage.

If you prepare the soil for seedlings in strict accordance with these instructions, you can be sure that the seedlings will be provided with the nutrition they need and will definitely not suffer from black leg.

By the way, if you plant seedlings early, there is every chance that the plants will stretch out, so do not miss the moment and plant them in separate containers in time.

As soon as you notice that the container has become small, transfer the seedling along with the root into a larger container.
