Welcome to our blog, and today we’ll be diving into the wonders of vegetable seed soaking to breathe new life into your gardening journey. Seed soaking is not only a traditional gardening technique, it is an effective way to increase germination rates and enhance plant growth. Let’s demystify this craft together.

Why Soak Vegetable Seeds?
Soaking vegetable seeds helps break down the resistance of the outer layer of the seeds, allowing the seeds to absorb water, germinate and grow faster. This is especially important with some hard-shelled seeds or varieties that germinate slowly. Soaking also helps activate enzymes within the seeds, providing more energy for growing plants.

How to perform seed soaking?
Choose the right container: Use a clean container and make sure it's large enough to hold the amount of seeds you plan to soak.

Adjust the water temperature: Use room temperature water and do not choose water that is too hot or too cold to ensure that the seeds are not harmed.

Add seeds: Depending on the vegetables you plan to grow, add the appropriate number of seeds to the water.

Soaking time: Control the soaking time according to the hardness and type of seeds. We provide you with a soaking schedule, but remember to refer to the specific instructions on the seed packaging.

Draining and sowing: After soaking, drain the seeds and sow them in an appropriate environment according to planting requirements.
