Seedling diapers and snails: what is it?

Many plants can be grown using modern methods:

• in snails, which are inexpensive and do not take up much space;
• in diapers, which are compact fabric or cellophane bundles, where the grown sprouts dive.

Structures are easy to build from scrap materials, while, in addition to saving space, they simplify planting plants in open ground.

Growing seedlings in a snail

Regardless of the method of growing seedlings, you first need to prepare the seeds for germination. They should be soaked, fed and disinfected. Seeds that have been pretreated will sprout evenly, do not stretch and become resistant to diseases.

The seeds are ready, you can start making the snail:

1. On a flat surface covered with oilcloth or other suitable material, unfold the laminate backing tape in rolls of 1.5 m, 0.1 m wide.
2. Pour earth over the entire width of the tape and crush. The layer thickness should be no more than 1 cm.
3. Once the tape is 0.15-0.20 m covered with soil, seeds can be spread 1-2 cm from the edge to be marked. Each grain is pressed into the ground, the distance between them is 3-4 cm.
4. Roll up the tape to the end of the earth, add more soil, lay out the seeds. Perform the operation until the end of the lena.
5. To prevent soil from spilling out, tighten the resulting bundle with an elastic band, under which put a bag from under the seeds, so as not to forget what is planted in the snail.
6. The structure needs to be watered, put on a bag to create a greenhouse effect, and installed in a container. In this case, the edge where the seeds are laid out should be on top.
7. The package must be removed after the emergence of seedlings in order to avoid pulling them out.

Containers with snails should be installed on the windowsill and watered constantly.

How to dive seedlings into snail diapers

After the roots of the shoots appear in the lower cut of the snail, you need to unfold it and transplant it into diapers, which are made from already available materials:

1. Film or dense plastic bags are cut into pieces of A5 format.
2. Place a spoonful of wet soil in the upper left corner.
3. The sprout is laid so that the roots are on the ground and the leaves are outside the film.
4. Sprinkle the roots with soil, fold the film from bottom to top in half, roll it up, pull it off with an elastic band, pour water with fertilizers.
5. Place the seedlings in a diaper in a container on a windowsill.

The method of growing seedlings in diapers when transplanting plants into the ground does not injure the roots. For planting, it is necessary to unfold the film and send it to the site along with the existing soil.

Common mistakes when landing in a snail

Some summer residents are disappointed in growing seedlings with a new method, because they make mistakes. To prevent this from happening, you need to adhere to the tips:

• so that the sprouts do not stretch out, it is necessary to remove the bag after the first shoots appear;
• you cannot add toilet paper to the snail, it will not help the plants in any way, but only hinder;
• in order to avoid slipping of the soil, you need to tightly fold both the snail and the diaper;
• when installing the container, the main thing is not to put the snail down with the seeds on the edge;
• seedlings dive only when roots appear in the lower layer of the structure.

More and more summer residents are choosing the method of growing seedlings in evidence and in diapers. If you don't want to take risks, you can plant only part of the seedlings in this way for the sake of experiment.
