      • 1 Pencil and notepad and plant labels – always a good plan to jot down your sowing dates, progress and good intentions; and to label pots.
      • Pots/Trays for sowing some of your seeds in to:
        • Rice Husk pots: 2 x 1L
        • Coir pot: 8cm
        • Coir seed trays
      • Compost Block– they bulk out when you add water
      • 250g bag Seaweed Feed - for feeding your soil
      • A little grow your own Guide (stuffed with loads of stuff we’ve learned about growing)
  • Where to grow them:

    You might have a 2 acre field, or a tiny apartment, a suburban back garden or allotment. Most veg (with the exception of the carrots) benefit from being started off in a smaller pot or tray and then transplanted when they get a little bigger.  We recommend sowing the seeds on a windowsill inside your house or apartment to start. When the seedlings get a little bigger, we will be moving them in to bigger pots to grow them either inside or outside on your balcony, terrace, patio or veg patch.
