How to grow your own plants at home

Hello Steemit community as they are, this is my first post and I hope you serve them and they like this information that I bring to you.

Today I come to share my knowledge that I acquired during all this time that I worked in the nursery "Good and God" where I work with the steemit community.

In my presentation post I talk about the Good and God nursery where I work, you can visit the following link to know me. https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@rigor192/presentate-en-la-comunidad-steemit-introduceyourself-in-the-steemit-community

One of the first jobs we did in the nursery is the "seedbed", which is the placement of the seeds in a series of trays, where they are separated from each other for better management later.

These are the materials we use for the "seedbeds".

Substrate It is a substrate based on organic material with moisture retainers.

Seeds The box on the left contains ornamental plants, flowers and edible plants and the other box on the right contains only Petunias. The seeds are kept refrigerated so they do not get damaged.

Seed tray Here we will place the substrate moistened and the seeds we will place a tape to later identify what type of seed they are, each tray is 5x5 and can contain up to 25 plants.

Marker, a stick of wood, adhesive tape and a card or something to place the seeds preferably white so that the seeds stand out since many are black or brown.

All these mentioned materials can be found in your gardening shop, except the marker, the adhesive tape and the wooden stick that you can find in a stationery store.

Seed table Here it contains information about the seeds, such as the duration, humidity, the amount of seeds to be placed, the arrangement of the seeds and the frequency.

Once we have all the necessary, we will place our substrate in a container, we add water the amount required is the same amount of the substrate used if we use 2 cups in the same way we add 2 cups of water mix it to hydrate well and not leave dry parts.

It does not matter if you put a little more water.

Done this we leave it aside, we take the seed holders label them one by one placing the name of the plant that will take and its respective, date to track when it is ready to transplant to materos.

In the first row we see that there are 2 petunias in the second row, there are 2 Dianthus 1 Gazania and 1 Gromphena and the last row contains only edible plants such as white basil, garlic porro, parsley, scallion, among others.

We take our labeled trays are placed inside the transparent container next to their respective seeds.

Now we are going to fill each tray with our previously hydrated substrate, take the first tray, place our seed on the side so as not to wet it since many of them have a paper packaging, others are plastic and metallic.

Here we can see that some are full of our substrate and others are not, we will give a slight blow to fill it completely.

We return to place more substrate to fill it completely and eliminate the exedent.

We will place it inside its container next to its respective seed on the side, not on the tray, since all the seeds will be wetted, we will close it and place it in a secluded place.

We will repeat the same procedure with all our trays.

Now we proceed to place the seed, we take the first tray we remove the seed and we spread it on our leaf preferably of white color to be able to distinguish it.

We moisten our wooden stick so we can more easily take the seeds.

We proceed to place the seeds each has a different arrangement ranging from not covered, slightly covered, and covered and the amount of seeds to be placed. This information is in the "Seed Table" part.

Once you have placed all the seeds in the trays, we cover them and place a label with the moisture that it carries and place it in a secluded place, in our case we place it in a basket for its transfer to the nursery.

We do this with each of our seeds that we have to take better control of the amount to use each week in the nursery.

Here you can see where we place our seed trays in the nursery each one is placed in a specific place.

This is all we will see in a next post, I hope you liked it, do not forget to follow me to be aware of more publications on gardening.
