How to prepare a nursery?
Tomato, Brinjal, Chilli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Brocolli, Rice, Marigold all need a nursery.
Before the final tilling, add 10kg Ghan Jeevamrit over 1000sq ft. Mix it well into the soil.
Also mix weeds into the soil after the rains.
Create a bed like this:
Spray Jeevamrit on the bed. 3" lines on the bed
For small seeds, do BA sanskar and add 10 times GJ and then sow the seeds with your fingers in the lines.
Spread the removed soil back on the rows.
3-4" AD on top. Spray only as much water that it reaches the bottom.
If temp > 36 degrees, then spray morning and evening. Else, only once in the evening. if >40 degrees, try to have shade
As seeds start to sprout, remove the AD
For onion, marigold, rice we don't need to add GJ. Only Bijamrit is good.
