Simple methods of sowing small seeds

To adjust the density of sowing small seeds is very difficult. Often the recommended way of thinning the seedlings were not too efficient: remaining in the ground after thinning the radish goes to arrows, and carrots sometimes ceases to grow.

To avoid such problems, pot-bellied little thing you need to prepare for crops in advance.

Liquid seeding
 

Dissolve 30 g of starch in 100 ml cold water. A thin stream, stirring constantly, pour the diluted starch in 900 ml of boiling water.





The container with paste, put in a pot of boiling water and heat the mass up to 95°C. the Finished paste to cool and pass through a sieve to remove formed film and lumps.

To the cooled paste gently stir in small seeds at the rate of 1.5-2 g of seeds per Cup of liquid. Pour the paste with the seeds in the pot and check the "density" of the planting on paper. If the seeds fell too tight, add a little more paste. If the distance between them is quite large, backfill seeds. Not to decreased germination, sow seeds into the paste necessary for the preparation day.

Tape method
 

Pour in a Cup 3 tbsp flour and add 100 g of cold water, mix thoroughly. Then pour the flour slurry Cup boiling water and stir.



Of toilet paper or napkins cut into strips with a width of 1-1,5 cm Syringe, apply to the prepared paper strips small drops of paste at the desired for sowing this or that crop distance, stick the seeds. It is most convenient to pick up small seeds with wooden sticks (skewers, toothpicks) to the wet tip. Now leave the tapes to dry the paste, and then coil them into rolls.

Pelleting
 

Collect quality seeds and treat them strained with a solution of mullein (1:10) or milk serum. Peat, humus and sod land is good dry, sift, and pour into a glass jar.





Gently stir in the dry mixture is still wet after treatment, the seeds and gently shake the bottle. Then sift the contents of the jar through a sieve or cheesecloth.

"Caught" pelleted seeds, lay out on dry paper and let them dry.

In a shell the seeds easier to sow, because they are larger in size. In addition, first growth has not yet strengthened root system, the plant will be enough essential nutrients.published
