You just need to know how to properly plant sorrel seeds. Sorrel prefers to grow in the shade, so the place under the crown of the fruit tree will be optimal. The culture feels comfortable on loam, it is not demanding on acidity indicators, but does not like swampy lowlands.
How to sow sorrel
Sow in moist soil to a depth and at a distance between rows and seeds. Sowing is best mulched with peat. Shoots usually appear 2 weeks after sowing seeds. If the bed is covered with plastic wrap before the emergence of seedlings, then seedlings appear in 3-5 days.

Sorrel is cultivated in one place for no more than 3-4 years, in subsequent years it sharply reduces the yield and quality of the grown products. The best soils for sorrel are loams and sandy loams rich in humus. It can be successfully grown on drained peat soils.
How many times per season can sorrel be cut
