Bryan Cruse's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. Seeds are not sprouting due to excessive heat in the soil.

    Solution:


    Water the soil: Water the soil to keep it cool. Make sure to water it early in the day, so the water has time to evaporate before the hottest part of the day.

    Shade the soil: Use a shade cloth or a piece of burlap to cover the soil and keep it cool. Make sure to use a breathable material that won't trap heat.

    Mulch the soil: Add a layer of mulch to the soil to help retain moisture and keep it cool. Use a mulch that won't trap heat, such as straw or shredded leaves.

    Time your planting: Avoid planting during the hottest part of the year. Instead, plant during cooler months when the soil is more likely to be at an appropriate temperature for seed germination.

    Plant deeper: Plant seeds deeper than you normally would, as the deeper soil will be cooler and provide a more suitable environment for germination.
