Successful sowing in a bucket: techniques and advice
We sow in as many pots as there are plants needed, or even a little more for safety.
Advantages and disadvantages of sowing in pots
- Advantage : when sown in this way, a plant can stay in the same place until it is transplanted outside.
- Disadvantage : it requires more space than sowing in a container.
Choice of varieties to sow
- What to sow? Large-seeded species, those that grow quickly, those that do not support transplanting or that are only needed in small numbers ( eggplant , basil , pepper , squash ).
- The keys to success : sow in a bucket 3 or 4 large seeds and 5 to 7 small. Keep the most beautiful plant that came from it and remove the others.
