Step 5: Moisten the ground before planting
If the soil is dry, the seeds will have a much harder time germinating. You should lightly water the soil before you start your crop.
You can do this with a watering can or with a hose.
This reduces the risk of expelling the seeds by the force of the water.
Step 6: Use natural fertilizers
Mix them into the soil to a depth of 5 centimeters.

Step 9: Wait for the seeds to germinate
Then, transplant your sprouts if you have planted them in seedbeds.
Similarly, if you’ve planted two or more seeds in each hole, you can remove the weaker plants so they don’t suck nutrients from the stronger ones.
Step 10: Protect your plants
Use mesh to protect your plants from pests and potential predators. Protection is important mainly during the early stages.

Step 13: Finally, Rotate Your Crops
That just as there are crops that benefit each other, there are also combinations that harm each other and put the harvest at risk by competing for nutrients.
Before sowing, make sure of the most favorable associations, as well as the most detrimental ones for the crop you want to achieve.
LThe seed is the grain that is inside the fruit, from which a new plant grows.
In other words, it is the oldest form of reproduction that we can find and, regardless of the species, they all require the same things in order to grow:sunlight, a growing medium, and water.
When we do not have enough experience, the common thing is that we buy our seeds in specialized stores.
However, as we delve into the world of cultivation, we will find that making our own seeds gives additional pleasure to our work.
In this article we show you the most appropriate way to preserve your seeds and provide them with the necessary basic requirements according to each species so that when you sow them you increase your chances of success and ensure that your seedgerminate, grow and become a healthy plant.
