Basic summer seed care

Outbreak

All the seeds that should be planted in summer are not too many, in addition, they require a little more skill on the part of the gardener. However today we have some basic tips What to give you for the time of sowing Do not miss them !.

Before starting, it is recommended to tamp the ground, this way we will prevent the seeds from falling and reaching a depth from which their germination would be difficult or even impossible. If you use individual pots, the ideal is to place two seeds per pot, if both germinate you can remove the weaker and keep the other.

The best way to water them is by capillary action, that is, placing the container of the seeds inside another container that contains enough water to moisten the soil. Another way to achieve this is by using a water vaporizer, in this way we will avoid overdoing the irrigation. After watering them, they should be covered with transparent plastic until they germinate.

Seeds

For the first shoots to grow well they will need heat (usually) and between 12-16 hours of light a day. If you want to place fluorescent lights you must do it 7,5 cm from the plant to be fully effective. As for watering the shoots, it should be done with a small watering can, always checking that the soil remains moist.

If you wish, you can fertilize once a week by adding half a dose of liquid emulsion of fish and algae to the irrigation water.
