During the cultivation of seedlings, crops undergo at least two traumatic procedures - picking and transplanting to the garden or greenhouse.
Picking is done to improve the conditions in which the root system develops.
Transplantation is done for obvious reasons - you want to get a decent harvest.
Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh regarding containers.
What to sow zucchini and cucumber seedlings in?
You have 4 options:
- Individual plastic containers. This is a better option than a common seedling pot.
- Peat tablets or pots. Porous walls allow moisture and air to pass through well.
- Planting in snails. Seeds develop in containers that look like a snail.
- Diapers. These are large containers that are made from a roll of scrap materials.
