| The method of these farmers is also very simple, just take a little soil mixed with manure and you can sow rice seedlings. Mr. Tran Van Luu in Nghia Son block said that sowing rice seedlings indoors is both convenient for care and less work to protect, but the results are better than sowing rice seedlings in the field.

| Normally, it takes half a month to plant rice seedlings in the field, but it only takes about 10 days to plant them indoors and the seedlings are always guaranteed to be green and healthy. Photo: Dao Tho |

| Mr. Nguyen Duy Son (Nghia Son block) said: With the area utilized on the porch, the number of seedlings sown is enough to plant 2 sao of rice fields this crop. Every day, we just need to sit at home to check and take care of the seedlings. When we turn them over and see that they have white roots, we can take them to the field to plant. Photo: Dao Tho |

| Not only in front of the house, the gate yard is also used by people to sow rice. Photo: Dao Tho |
