By Laura Ellis


A basic or flat tray can be acquired in a cheaper price when no unnecessary methods to get those planted on your garden or farm. A better way is to have an egg carton which is made of paper to make the planting process easier. To give you some tips on what to do, simply follow the given steps and be sure to remember all of them.

First is to fully determine when to plant these seeds. Depending on the type of climate and the variety of the seeds, the process of planting it can really vary. You should also consider procedures like MNDOT mixes and other factors before starting the process. Check as well the packaging for more details.

You have to read carefully because each seedling has its own requirements before you even think of planting it. Test it by starting small of every variety that is available. Try them indoors when you are a beginner in the process. Prepare it carefully for them to grow well.

Another thing is the light needed for the seedlings to grow really well. Make sure their windows face south to achieve a more sunny vibe. If there is no considerable light, expect it to be really weak and leggy that is not good. If a proper lighting is not possible, invest in having grow lights and timers. It is another way to make sure that abundant light is present.

Part of the process is to always consider your goal in doing it. To meet your goals, right timing is needed. The weather must be favorable for you to get started. Look at the packet of the seeds because it will tell you when to start it. The packet will give you the necessary details like the number of months to consider in each procedure and so on.

Before transferring it to the plot, choose the perfect container and its depth and the number of drainage holes that must be there.

Check every seed packet to determine the required depth you must plant it. Some are really small and you can just sprinkle it right away on the ground. Larger ones must be buried properly. To determine the required depth, read the instructions or ask the experts. To speed the germination, you have to cover the pot with plastic dome or wrap that fits the tray.

As it grows, it should be watered to keep the ground moist. It will absorb the water immediately or if not, you can use a fan to make sure that the air movement is correct. Feed the seedlings with liquid fertilizer mixed with what is being recommended on its packaging.
