CAn anyone translate german into english

[evedawn]

I have a protea to plant but the instructions are in german. Tried some of the online translators but comes out a bit gobbledeygook!

Can anyone translate:

1) Fulle die zur vertugung gestellte erded in gegebenen topf
2) Pflanze samen 4-6mm tief in grunde
3) stelle den topf in eine untertasse und fulle ihn mit wasser bis zur gegeben markierung. Behalte wasser in tasse bis der samen keimpt.
3) stelle den topf auf einen helle stelle.

1)Abundance the erded placed to the vertugung into given pot

2)Plant seed 4-6mm deeply in reason

3)Place the pot into a saucer and abundance it with water to that given designation. Retain water in cup until the seed keimpt.

4)Place the pot on one light would place.

thanks 4gs.

Did you also use an online translator? Cos some of what has been translated doesn't make sense? Read line 1 for example.

THANKS ALOT for trying to help though :-)

Uhhhh....not the ideal way to plant proteas gravitate...though i guess the manure up an a*rse would make good compost?

Yeah I did but I know some German, line one probably means " Fill the earth to the top of the pot"

grunde is ground or earth as well as reason, so that's how deep to plant the seeds.

Try this site:

incidentally, it says roughly to put the pot on a plate, fill it with water to the mark (wherever that might be) until the seed sprouts, and keep it in the sun

oh thanks ALL of you - i have a rough idea of how to plant it now.

Mcfluff - how kind that you emailed your aunt - thanks!

1) Fill the pot with the given soil. 2) Sow the seeds 4-6mm. (depth). 3) Were you given a under plate? well you are to put the pot on the under plate and you are to add water till a given mark. Make sure you have water in the under plate at all times till the seeds germinate. 4) pot to be placed in a sunny area.

HI, hope its not to late for you, i had to go out fri afternoon and didn't get my mail till back in work!
