How to improve store-bought soil for flower seedlings
A few additives and the ideal soil for seedlings is ready.
What is the secret of healthy seedlings? Quality seeds, lighting, warmth, watering and, of course, soil.
Not all summer residents know that store-bought soil can be improved with the help of simple additives.
To increase fertility, vermicompost is added.
A very useful component that makes plantings stronger and more resilient and better able to withstand transplantation.
Another valuable component is sand. It is mixed with soil in a ratio of 1:9.
Thanks to it, the soil becomes looser and moisture does not stagnate.
If you come across too acidic soil, dolomite flour will save you.
That is, it is not used at will, but is taken only in cases where acidity is increased.
Before using purchased soil, it would be a good idea to additionally prepare it, as there may be fungi or larvae in the soil.
Usually the soil for seedlings is watered with boiling water or a solution of potassium permanganate.
Also, to increase fertility, the soil is watered with biofertilizers. After these manipulations, the strongest seedlings are ensured.
