How to plant Chinese cabbage seeds

1. Select the seed:

When planting cabbage seeds, you should choose seeds that are free of pests and diseases and are full. However, in order to increase the germination rate of the cabbage after planting, soak the cabbage seeds in clean water for 10-15 minutes, then put them in warm water and stir and soak the seeds for 10-20 minutes before planting.

2. Soil selection:

   When planting cabbage seeds, you should choose soil with good permeability, and it is best to adopt the method of digging furrows and ridges when sowing. This can not only improve the soil's ability to retain water and fertilizer, but also prevent root diseases caused by water accumulation after rain. Then spread the cabbage seeds evenly in the sowing furrow, and finally cover them with a thin layer of soil.
