Product details
How
Choose a Sunny, well-drained spot in the garden. Dig soil well and add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before planting. Form a groove about 1cm deep into the moist soil. Place the tape flat in the bottom of the groove (remember the tape can be cut to any length) and lightly cover. Keep well watered. Allow 15cm between rows. Thin young plants if necessary.
Care
Apply Yates Thrive All Purpose Soluble Plant Food regularly and keep seedlings well watered. Make successive sowings every few weeks. Protect from snails and slugs with Yates Blitzem.
Hint
Avoid overwatering - seeds may rot before germination if soil is too wet. Shoots are crisp early in the season and develop a stronger flavour when mature.
Storage
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
