Some BHS tips:

Sowing: To prepare the soil, weed at least one week before sowing with a 20-30cm (8-12in) deep ploughing. Remove as many stones, roots, and other obstacles as possible.

Rolling: This operation is performed right after sowing and ensures close contact between the seed and the seedbed, which has two advantages. The seed in contact with its environment will nourish itself more easily. Stuck to the ground, it is also less likely to be displaced by rain.

Germination: Maintain an optimal temperature of 15-30°C and good soil moisture. Germination occurs between 4 and 20 days depending on the species.

Watering: The first watering should be done after sowing to allow the seed to swell, then every 3 days until germination. Do not water in case of high temperatures, and preferably in the evening or morning.
