Growing Instructions
Soaking the Seeds
Soaking helps improve the germination of certain seed types. Check each seed's soaking requirements from our Seed Library.
Preparing the Soil
Each peat tablet is for one biodegradable pot. Place the peat tablet in a cup of water and wait for it to expand.
Expanded soil will have a thin layer that will melt away in time. You can either keep it or gently cut it and take it out.
Peat tablets do not contain pathogens.
Sowing the Seeds
In the middle of your swelling soil tablet, you will see a slot for sowing seeds.
The sowing depth of the seeds is usually twice their size. Check out the recommended sowing depth for each seed in our Seed Library
