How to plant shallot seeds

1. Seed germination: Before sowing, you need to select relatively full seeds of green onion seeds, and then put them in a mixture of sand and decomposed fertilizer for germination. During the germination process, you need to turn the soil regularly to avoid soil compaction.

2. Soil selection: When sowing green onions, you need to choose a sunny and sheltered place for planting. The soil used should be loose, fertile, well-drained, and have a deep soil layer. If it is potted, you can mix humus soil, rotten leaf soil, forest soil and fine sand.
