1. Germinating Chinese privet seeds

(1) Before winter, dig a pit in a high, dry area on a shaded, dry back slope and bury the seeds. The pit is 1.0 m deep and 1.0 m wide. The length depends on the quantity of seeds. Soak the Chinese privet seeds in warm water (40-50 degrees C) for 1-2 days, and change the water once a day so they fully absorb water. Then evenly mix the Chinese privet seeds with 2-3 times their volume of wet river sand (first screen the wet sand; the wet sand should form a clump in the hand but not release water).

(2) Around the start of winter, cover the bottom of the pit with 10 cm of thick wet sand, then place the Chinese privet seed-sand mixture flat in the pit. After planting the Chinese privet seeds, cover with wet sand along the pit at a distance of about 20 cm from the pit. Then bury the seeds in a hill shape, cover the whole bundle with straw or a thick grass curtain, and wait for the seeds to germinate. Before sowing the following spring, take them out and spread them on a mat in a leeward, sunny place. Turn them over 2-3 times a day. Spray warm water appropriately to keep the sand moist. When about 1/3 of the seeds have cracked, they are ready for sowing.

2. Sowing Chinese privet seeds

Spring sowing is usually carried out. When the depth is 5 cm deep and the soil temperature reaches 9-10 degrees C, sowing can be done. Around mid-May, 14-15 C is more suitable. Before sowing, water with tap water until the surface soil is slightly dry and loose, drill the furrows, with a row spacing of 15-20 cm, sow 8-10 kg per mu, cover with soil l-1.5 cm thick, and cover with grass.
