Make your seedbed with orange peels
Now that you have it all follow this simple step by step:
- Cut an orange in half with the serrated knife.
- Squeeze the juice with the juicer.
- Pour the liquid into a glass.
- Enjoy the taste of natural orange juice 🙂.
- Let the peel dry for 24 hours to avoid fungus in a cool and dry area.
- The next day, poke a couple of drainage holes at the base of the shell.
- Fill it with the substrate you have chosen, more or less until it is completely full.
- Now, put a maximum of two seeds in the seedbed. They must be a little separated from each other in case the two germinate.
- Sprinkle some copper or sulfur on the surface. This will help prevent fungal growth.
- Finally, moisten the substrate with a spray bottle.
And ready. That is how easy it is to have a seedbed. Go ahead and make one.
