It is no secret that you can prepare soil for home seedlings yourself, but to do this you need to stock up on the ingredients.

Here is a recipe for making a balanced nutrient soil.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told us what to make soil from.

How to proceed

You need to stock up on rotted compost, of which you will need ten liters.

You can also use biohumus or vermicompost.

You will also need lowland peat (10 liters). It is dark in color and does not require additional additives to normalize the acidity level.

Next, you will need 10 liters of clean river sand, preferably coarse and without any clay impurities.

The ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Add three glasses of sifted wood ash to the finished mixture.

To avoid having to disinfect the soil and then restore the beneficial properties of the soil, you need to add preparations based on Trichoderma and hay bacillus.

The prepared soil can be used for sowing cucumber, tomato and pepper seeds, as well as indoor plants.

Previously we talked about how to make clay soil suitable for sowing.
