Planting Guide
Preparation: Mix soil with organic compost or vermicompost. Ensure the pot or bed has good drainage.
Sowing: Scatter the tiny seeds thinly over the soil surface. Cover very lightly with a thin layer of fine soil (approx. 1/4 inch deep).
Watering: Use a fine spray or mister to moisten the soil. Avoid heavy pouring, which can bury the seeds too deep. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Sunlight: Place in a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Harvesting: You can start harvesting “baby” greens at 21 days by thinning the crop, or let them grow to full size (up to 35 days).
