I sow Carrot seeds in February on paper napkins - saving time and effort. I tell you how to do everything right

With the approach of spring, every summer resident begins to prepare for sowing seeds. Previously, I was most tormented by the question that concerned carrot seeds. After all, the seeds are very small. Planting them in the garden in the usual way was a problem for me.

But for several years in a row I have been using one method that helps me a lot. Quite a bit of hassle, but then the back does not hurt, as it happened before after a standard fit.

Sowing stages on napkins

· First you need to buy multi-layer paper napkins. I do not recommend using ordinary thick single-ply tissues or toilet paper. There will be little sense from such an experiment.

· Next, you should carefully separate the layers of the napkin. There is no need to rush anywhere. You must act carefully so as not to tear the napkin. Thin layers will then dissolve well in the soil.

· It will not work just to spread the seeds on a napkin. After all, they just scatter. They must be fixed. Of course, this should not be done with glue from the store. A special natural glue is prepared. I cook glue from flour and water. Water is required to take 5 times more than flour. I cook the glue over a fire, and then let it cool.

Then I gently dip a toothpick or a match into glue, take a seed with it and glue it on a napkin. I leave the distance between the glued rows of seeds at 5 centimeters.

· After the glue is dry, the napkins can simply be rolled up and stored in the storage area. Let them lie there until the very moment when it is time to start planting.

· Then you have to make grooves. In these grooves, strips of cut napkins are placed. You need to lightly sprinkle the napkins with soil, and then water them.

Don't worry that the seeds will sprout a little later. Then they will quickly gain their strength. But you will make the sowing procedure easier for yourself, and you will not need to thin out the plantings in the future.

For example, I do not like thinning, not only because time and effort is spent on this procedure. It's just that when you pull out extra shoots, the carrot fly smells and begins to attack your beds. And so it will be possible to avoid this misfortune.

Yes, there is usually little time in the season. And then we have to deal with thinning. And in February, there is enough time, so you can tinker a little with glue and napkins.

I highly recommend this simple method to everyone. I plan to experiment this year with sowing seeds and other vegetables using this method.
