I had a problem: the seedlings stopped appearing. I knew the reason—the shade—but there was no other place to plant them. I decided to take action. The first thing I did was buy Kornevin. I bought this one—it's budget-friendly, but it's proven effective over several years. The instructions explain everything in detail (I bought two packs of Kornevin, one per 5 liters of water):
But besides this, I decided to enhance the effect of the root former by preparing a yeast mixture (read how to do this here).
These are the beds I had without any sprouts. Notice how even the weeds don't really grow here:
Pay attention to the onion sets – they are drooping and small:
Now look how this same onion grows under the direct rays of the sun (I planted it from the same seeds and on the same day):
I also had some sprouted dill growing in the sun exclusively in the evening – the growth was also weak:
I cut off all the green onion feathers:
I diluted the yeast mixture and added Kornevin to it:
I got 1 liter of concentrated solution. I divided it into three watering cans like these, each holding 5 liters:
I watered the beds in advance and generously doused them with my killer mixture:
After that, I decided to mulch the beds. I used weeds, but mostly nettles and burdock:
Now let's look at the result. This is what the dill grew to after some time:
And this parsley started growing, and very quickly:
The cucumbers have sprouted:
The bow has been restored:
Peppers have appeared:
Based on this experience, I definitely recommend using this method to speed up the formation of seedlings.
