That is, seedlings in a wooden box can be watered with excess, and in sealed boxes there is a risk of overfilling or underfilling. Airtight plastic boxes should have openings on the bottom for water to drain during overflow, it is more difficult to maintain an optimal humidity regime in them. The soil breathes better in them, excess water always comes off and there are no conditions for acidification and decay. When growing with picks, boxes of any suitable area from different materials are used. Seedlings can be grown in two ways, with picking (intermediate transplanting into a larger container or greenhouse) and without it. Frost kills pests, ice crystals tear lumps of soil, and after thawing, the soil becomes more loose. It is better if the soil in boxes or bags hibernated on the street in a frozen state.

Then the plant tolerates transplant stress more easily and develops better. Seedlings may be slightly worse than garden soil in a permanent place. A plant in seedling containers will not grow long, and in a small state it does not need as much nutrition as an adult plant. Special fanaticism in preparing the ground is not worth it. The addition of wood ash at the rate of not more than 0.5 liters per 10 liters of soil will greatly improve the quality of any mixture. Also, the soil should be sufficiently nutritious and fertile. The main requirements: the soil must be sufficiently airy and moisture permeable, that is, loose and should not stick together when wet.

You can also use ready-made soil from stores. Sand in an amount of not more than 10%.Fully mature humus of manure or compost.The compositions are mixed from the following components in various combinations and proportions: Soil preparationĭozens of different soil preparation recipes are used for cauliflower seedlings. But to obtain the earliest possible harvest, and especially for later, more valuable varieties, the seedling method is always used. In principle, precocious varieties can be grown by direct sowing of seeds directly into the open ground. Depending on the variety, the head is formed after 70-120 days from sowing. It also has a significant amount of vitamins of group B and PP. Vitamin C in it is twice as much as in white cabbage. Cauliflower is considered a valuable dietary product.
