Growing hints & tips

Public·1 member

Growing boost for seeds.

A really good tip from James Wong. Some seeds are notoriously difficult to germinate. Parsnips and parsley being good examples. And the bain of my life - onion seeds.

His tip is to soak the seeds for an hour or two in a solution made by adding a teaspoon of cinnamon and a soluble aspirin to one litre of lukewarm water to increase germination rates and reduce problems with damping off of the seedlings.

Cinnamon is a natural anti-fungal and aspirin is chemically similar to a growth hormone found in many plants. It has got to be worth at try.
