Getting Started: A Beginner's Guide

Before diving into the world of gardening, it's essential to store your seeds properly. Keep your seed packets in an airtight container, tucked away in a cool, dry, and dark spot. This simple step can extend the lifespan of your seeds, ensuring they remain viable for up to a year, or even five years under optimal conditions!

Time to Sow: Your Sowing Strategy

When you're ready to plant, we recommend starting your seeds indoors. Utilize a propagator or place pots on a sunny windowsill. This proximity allows you to easily monitor the moisture levels of the compost, ensuring your seeds receive the care they need.

Watering Wisely: Signs Your Seeds Need Attention

Wondering when to water your seeds? Keep an eye on the color of the compost. If it appears lighter or if the compost has pulled away from the sides of the pot or propagator, it's time to give your seeds a drink!

Choosing the Right Compost: Go Organic!

For the best results in seed germination, opt for an organic, peat-free compost. This choice not only promotes healthy growth but also avoids harmful pesticides that can hinder germination. Plus, it's a more environmentally friendly alternative compared to traditional compost options.

With these tips in hand, you're well on your way to cultivating a thriving garden with Ethical Organic Seeds. Happy gardening!
