This article is a continuation to my introduction of the urban farming series 'Why Growing Food At Home Just Got Easier' . I am so pleased with the progress of my young budding vegetables and I am also a lot wiser now on how to sprout vegetables before potting them! Important things to note are;
Don't leave lettuce's on the window sill (especially in summer)
Don't assume that all vegetables need a large amount of light, some of my vegetables burnt and after awhile stopped growing. An ideal spot for your vegetables is where they can get direct light far away from the window(which means they can get some shade to).
When your vegetables stop growing (or start browning) Somethings Wrong!
Whenever your vegetables look odd, or stop growing don't assume they need fertiliser or more water, its instead a surefire sign that they need better growing conditions!
Use good potting soil and consider companion planting
If you have a wide range of growing vegetables it saves space and some vegetables compliment each others growth!
Organic vegetables grow a lot faster then supermarket bought organic vegetables.
I planted some more vegetables in glass jars again, following these rules. I got much better growth! They'll be ready to pot soon..
