As soon as the good weather returns, the desire to sow seeds in vegetable garden is felt.
Without being manic, it is important to respect a certain distance between the plants.
Because they must have enough space between them to develop.
But some seeds are extremely small:it is difficult to plant them with good spacing.
Fortunately, there is a very simple trick to respect the right space between your seedlings and space the seeds perfectly in the vegetable garden.
The gardener's trick is to use a muffin tin to mark an even space on the soil. Watch:
- large muffin tin
- seeds
- rake
- shovel
1. Prepare the soil for the vegetable garden by raking it well.
2. Take the muffin tin.
3. Press it lightly on the ground so as to leave regular round traces.
4. Repeat to cover the entire area to be sown.
5. With a shovel, dig a hole in the place of each of the circles.
6. Sow a seed in each circle and cover with soil.
7. Water gently.
And There you go ! Thanks to this technique, your seeds are now perfectly spaced in your vegetable patch :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Your seedlings will grow unhindered.
This is especially important for plants that climb or take up space quickly, such as beans, tomatoes, parsley or zucchini, for example.
It is also a very good spacing for flower bulbs such as tulips, narcissi, hyacinths or gladioli.
Your decorative flower beds are symmetrical and well arranged.
The mold acts as a template or template that leaves perfect spacing on the earth.
The seeds planted in the traces of the mold have the necessary space to develop without suffering the shadow of their neighbours.
If you buy potted plants from a garden center, this method also works to get the right spacing between your plants.
But if you germinate your seeds yourself, don't forget to soak them a little before putting them in the ground to stimulate the start. Check out the trick here.
The other clever trick for spacing the smallest seeds, such as carrots, for example, is to make a ribbon of homemade seeds.
How? 'Or' What ? Simply with absorbent paper. Check out the trick here.
