How to sow radishes so you can avoid thinning

A cardboard egg tray will come to the aid of a country house owner.

This device should be used as a “stencil”.

All you need to do is press the tray to the ground and immediately remove the material. As a result, the bed will have numerous depressions located at equal distances from each other.

It is enough to put only one seed in each resulting hole.

Next, the seed material should be covered with soil. After this, the area should be watered with plain water.

Thanks to the above-described method of planting radishes, the shoots will not be dense. Most likely, you will not have to thin them out at all. But it should be emphasized that the plant will need to be watered a little more often.

Earlier, summer residents were told how to protect their gardens from flooding.
