Without toilet paper, I can't plant seeds, showing you how to make seed tape.

Every year we have an unspoken competition with our neighbor. Who will plant the garden faster and who will have it more neat and beautiful? Throughout the winter, we learn different methods and methods to apply them in spring. I recently learned how to grow. carrot seeds on toilet paper. Today I will tell you everything in detail!



The most difficult thing is to sow seeds in the area. I want the beds to be even, and the sprouted seeds are at the same distance from each other. But you're not going to walk with a ruler in the garden! And then one day in an online store I came across an interesting device.

This is a sowing tape, on which the seeds of carrots and other vegetables are already evenly placed. I have already dreamed of what neat beds I will have and how my neighbor will envy. But while I was dreaming and adding the right seed stripes to the basket, there was a very tidy sum.



I realized that the family budget just won’t stretch my flat beds. It will be cheaper to buy already grown vegetables in the market. I shut this site down from sin. But the thought of sowing tapes did not leave me. And I started looking for ways to do it myself.

The way to sow carrot seeds on a budget once hit me. I remembered how the windows used to be sealed for the winter with paint tape and cooked with flour. I thought we could make seed tapes that way. That's just the paint tape is quite dense and through it the seeds may not germinate. Help came irreplaceable in many cases toilet-paper.



Peels It is thin, easily dissolves in water, and through it the seeds quickly germinate. And it will not bring harm to the earth, as it will rot very quickly.

I got to work right away. I cooked a kleister out of flour and water. Cooled it so that the warm temperature did not damage the seeds. I took some carrot seeds to sample. After the kleister cooled, she laid out a tape of toilet paper on the table. Strictly in the center at the same distance from each other smeared dots with a kleister.



Those who doubt their geometric talents, you can use a ruler and a pencil and carefully mark everything. In the smeared points put the seeds of carrots. It is advisable to put not one seed, but at least a couple for confidence. Then I folded the paper in half. A long pocket formed. It should be carefully rolled into a roll before spring.

When the summer season came and it was time to sow carrots, I took out my carrot seeds on toilet paper. I made a shallow long hole and turned my roll in it. I sprinkled it and watered it.



I will never forget the carrots of that season. She grew up all flat, beautiful and big. And beds with homemade sowing tapes pleased the eye. My neighbor went around all summer asking me how I did this. Of course, I shared my secret with her. Now in winter we gather for a cup of tea and make sowing ribbons for the next summer season.
