22.10.2024 11:11

Experienced gardeners know very well that they need to start preparing for the seedling season right now.

A number of components should be prepared right now in order to grow high-quality seedlings.

What should you pay attention to?

Soil

If you have good enough soil, you shouldn't replace it with store-bought soil. You'll just need to prepare it. About a liter of soil is used for vegetables. 500 ml of soil is used for flowers.

Compost and humus

These are important components that increase soil fertility and help seedlings grow strong and vigorous. However, it is important to think about storage: housing is not suitable for this.

It is worth preparing such “aromatic” fertilizers only if you have a garage or a barn.

Sand

You can go to the nearest beach for this component. Sand is necessary to ensure that the soil for seedlings is of high quality.

The share of sand in the total volume will be only ten percent.

Sawdust

Only sawdust that is at least one year old is suitable. They also account for no more than ten percent.
