Heey my steemit friends, how are you? I know sometimes we are trying to germinate some seeds but we fail, the seed doesn't germinate at all and we lost our time :'(

But... Why is it? It could be due to some reasons:
1.- Too much water: If you water your seedbed in an extreme way It will get rotten and won't germinate.
2.- Not enough water: If you don't water the seedbed generously (especially the first time) the seed hardly ever germinate.
3.- You dug too deep: Some seeds (especially the smallest ones) don't need to go so deep on the ground, they just need a little layer of dirt to grow up.
I suppose you are really tired of this, so... let's just get this little tutorial started :)
What do you need?
-Dirt and fertilizer
-A Seedbed
-Water
-An atomizer
-Plastic bags
In this case I'm using basil seeds to show you the procedure.
First of all you mix in a very well way the dirt and the fertilizer to get a very good mixture, then fill your seedbeds with it and water them until they get wet.
Take some seeds (3 or 4 per each seedbed could be great, but depends on the size of the seedbed) In my case I used a pot to germinate them, in this way I could plant a lot of them.
Drop each seed carefully in your seedbed, assure yourself you drop them 1 cm spaced each other.
Cover the seeds with a layer of dirt, take some dirt with your hand and shake it to drop the mixture and cover them symmetrically.
Put some water in your atomizer and spread water in your seedbed until it gets wet and cover it with a plastic bag. The plastic bag will keep your seedbed wet, but you still need to spread some water 2 times a day, just keep it wet, don't exceed.
In this way your seeds will germinate in a fast way and you won't need to suffer anymore.
This is the result after 2 or 3 days (In my case, in yours could variate depends on the seed)
They are still super small, I'll show you them next time when they are bigger :)
Thanks
