Hello friends, I hope that your homes already look radiant to receive Christmas, the important thing in Hive Diy is that we can learn many things from each other, especially from the ideas that are made by recycling materials and thus we do not spend so much money. Today I am going to continue with the DIY, but this time, I will make some wire baskets to germinate avocado seeds, I tell you that another of my hobbies is agriculture, on my farm I grow vegetables and I am always inventing tools.
Today I decided to share these germination baskets, because perhaps you have a large patio in your house where you can grow avocados, these baskets allow the avocado seeds to germinate in a hydroponic medium and then be transplanted to the ground.
DIY: How to make copper wire baskets to germinate avocado seeds
Perhaps you have seen that avocado seeds are inserted with sticks and put them to germinate in a glass of water, well friends, I have done this system, but many times the vegetative mass of the seed rejects these sticks and begins to rot. For this reason I invented this hydroponic germination system using these wire baskets, which have given me good results.
Materials:
Copper wire
Disposable plastic cup
Process:
Next I will teach you how to make these germination baskets, but I also want you to learn how to place the avocado seeds so that they germinate satisfactorily.Step-1: We are going to make a wire ring, the diameter of this ring will be that of the glass that we are going to use, leaving a handle to hold the basket:
- Step 2: Now I am going to cross two pieces of wire in the shape of "U", I will do it by tying the 4 ends of the wire in the ring:
How to put avocado seeds in the basket:
- Step-3: After making the wire baskets, now we are going to put the avocado seeds to germinate, for this it is necessary to remove all the peel that covers them:
- Step-4: We are going to fill the glass with water, then we put the seed inside the basket and place it on the glass, it is important that the tip of the seed is facing up:
As you have seen, it is easy to do, below I will show you some seeds that I started to germinate 22 days ago and another that I started to germinate today:
I hope this information is very useful for the community, in this way they can germinate their avocado seeds in a simple way without risk of rot. Greetings.
