When and how to plant burdock

Burdock Planting Time

Burdock is generally sown in early or late April in spring, which is conducive to plant survival and better growth of seedlings. It should not be planted too late, because high temperatures will affect the growth and development of seedlings, and if it is too early, the seedlings will be frostbitten.

How to grow burdock

1. Site selection and fertilization: When planting burdock, people usually choose plots with higher terrain and thick soil, and it is best to plant on a sunny slope. After selecting the site, it is necessary to apply fertilizer, deep plowing and level the land.

2. Seed treatment: When planting, you need to select burdock seeds with full grains and no disease. Place the seeds in the sun to dry for 1-2 days, then soak them in warm water, and then take them out and dry them before sowing.

3. Sowing: When sowing burdock, you can use the hole sowing method. You need to pay attention to the planting density. There can be 4-6 seeds in each hole. Then you need to cover the soil and water it to keep it moist.

Burdock planting precautions

After planting burdock, in order to promote root development, it is necessary to combine tillage and weeding with fertilization, about 3 times. Moreover, when the seedlings grow 2-3 true leaves, thinning is needed in time. There should be 2-3 strong seedlings in each hole, which is more beneficial to its growth.
