Many people choose to buy soil for growing seedlings, considering it a better quality and safer option than soil from the garden.
However, such soil also requires a special approach.
With the help of some tricks, it can always be made even better and more fertile, explains the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What do they consist of?
Don't forget to sift
Many people think that purchased soil does not need this, but this is a mistake. It is quite possible that even in such soil you can find garbage or other unnecessary elements.
But sifting will help you cope with this task without any particular difficulties.
Supplements
In order for the soil to be of the highest quality, it is customary to add river sand, vermiculite, or even tray filler to it.
Dolomite flour
Even in purchased soil, acidity indicators may be far from ideal. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the introduction of dolomite flour. This component is of high quality and safety.
Industrial fertilizers
But it is strongly not recommended to introduce this component into the soil. Otherwise, it can cause significant damage to the seedlings.
