From the beginning of March, sowing of seeds for seedlings begins. A mixture of soil for growing seedlings should consist of sod land and humus. To enrich the soil with additional trace elements, ash is added to this mixture at the rate of 10 tbsp. l ash per 10 kg of the mixture.

High-quality seeds are selected, for this they are poured for 5 minutes. 3% salt solution. Surfaced drained with water, the rest washed and dried. Sow selected material of medium and large size.

Processing

Processing will temper seeds

If the seeds are not processed (this is indicated on the packaging), the treatment is carried out: for 20 minutes, lower the seeds in water heated to 50 ° C, then – for 5 minutes in cold. There is another way: the seeds are kept for 1 hour in a solution of garlic (30 g of crushed garlic is dissolved in 0.5 tbsp of water). After the seeds are washed and dried well. These measures disinfect the material and increase resistance to fungal diseases.

Planting

Seeds are planted in containers (boxes, cassettes, pots), the surface of the soil is covered with a film. The first shoots are noticeable already on the 4th day. Boxes with seedlings should be in a well-lit place. Watering is carried out moderate, as the soil dries up.

Pick-up

14 days after seedlings emergence, plants from the boxes are transplanted into separate containers or other boxes according to the 5 x 5 cm pattern During a dive, 1/3 of the main root is cut off. This helps the roots to branch better, the root is gaining volume. Sprouts are deepened to cotyledonous leaves.

Temperature conditions

In order for the seedlings to grow strong and quickly develop, it is necessary to observe the temperature conditions. Before the first shoots, the room temperature should be at the level of 18-20 ° C.After seedlings sprouting, the daytime temperature is kept at 15-17 ° C, the night temperature is 7-10 ° C.

Mulching

When mulching the soil, the number of weeds decreases, the number of irrigations decreases, water consumed sparingly. Loosening is not necessary. Mulching helps increase soil fertility – productivity increases. Costs of time and labor are reduced.
