Dill seeds contain a large number of essential oils, so they can germinate quite slowly. However, the process can be accelerated with special processing. For this, you will need a piece of natural fabric, access to hot water, and a plastic bag.

First, take a piece of cloth and put dill seeds on it. Tie the cloth tightly so that the seeds do not fall apart, and lower them into hot water. Leave the cloth with the seeds in the water for three days, and, if possible, change the water too hot several times.

After that, spread the swollen seeds on a damp cloth and cover them with a plastic bag. Leave it like this for four days. After that, when sprouts appear in the seeds, they should be dried a little and planted in the soil.
