Today we want to go a step further and offer some tips about planting.\u00a0The first thing we have to decide is whether we want to <strong>sow directly<\/strong> or use a <strong>seed box<\/strong>. The seed box is practical because it reduces growth time and decreases the threat of weeds although, on the other hand, the roots may suffer damage during the transplant to the final plot after germination, which does not occur with direct sowing. If, for example, we want to plant lettuces and tomatoes, we advise using a seed box whereas if we want to plant carrots, direct sowing is better. Direct sowing is also better for courgettes and cucumbers. We can use a recycled cup as a seed box, a yoghurt pot or they sell peat pots which are very convenient because they allow you to transplant without having to remove the plant from the pot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/15.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-bd-normal wp-image-1289\" src=\"\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/15-660x330.jpg\" alt=\"seedling\" width=\"660\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/15-660x330.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/15-1052x526.jpg 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before planting, we should ask ourselves how many seeds should we place and at what depth. In theory we only need one seed for each plant but it is likely that not all of them will germinate so it is best to place two or three. Be careful not to put too many carrot seeds together in the allotment because it\u2019s not a good idea for them to be too close together!\u00a0The seed must be left at a depth of one or two times its size. Beginners in allotments often tend to bury the seeds too deep. For example, placing a lettuce seed 2millimetres down is more than enough.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/img_2932.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-bd-normal wp-image-1291\" src=\"\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/img_2932-660x330.jpg\" alt=\"Zanahorias\" width=\"660\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/img_2932-660x330.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/img_2932-1052x526.jpg 1052w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If the seeds are in optimum conditions of both temperature and humidity, they will germinate within a week.
