Salad greens, small plants and other vegetables can be sown directly in the garden at home
Before sowing work the ground well, adding mature organic fertilizer
Then rake the surface of the plot, eliminating any bumps or dips and also any stones that may be present
For broadcaster sowing it is convenient to mix small seeds in well-washed river sand, light in colour
and then spread the mixture of seeds and sand over the plot, so as to cover it all
Try to distribute the seed evenly, avoiding excesses
If instead you want to sow vegetables which are grown in rows, such as beans, place small sticks at the ends of the parcels
which should be worked well, enriched with manure, and well raked
Stretch a wire between one stick and the next: in this way you will have a straight line that will show you how to keep a row of seeds perfectly straight
Along the line, place your seeds in small holes or shallow dimples, and cover them over
The holes should be placed at least 8 - 15 cm apart
After sowing you should water abundantly
