Product details
How
Sow direct where they are to grow. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down well and keep moist. Avoid overcrowding by thinning out and discarding excess seedlings when 4-5 weeks old.
Care
Cultivate soil well before sowing as deep, well-drained soils give best results. Add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone to soil before sowing to help ensure a good crop. Begin pulling roots early to extend the harvest. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Great companion plant for beans, onoins, corn, cucumber, radish & tomatoes. To aid germination, maintain even moisture by laying a plank of wood over row. Remove after germination.
Storage
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
