Alternate Method

The seeds can also be sown directly into suitable pots or grow bags filled with a well-draining potting mix.

For leafy varieties such as Lettuce, Iceberg Lettuce, and Red Lettuce, use loose well-draining soil and maintain suitable moisture. Cherry Tomato, Cucumber, and Spring Onion require good sunlight, while Carrot and Beetroot should be grown in containers deep enough for proper root development.

When planting directly in soil, organic amendments such as Vermicompost, Seaweed, and Neem Cake Powder can be incorporated into the growing medium as required.

Always follow the individual sunlight and watering requirements instead of treating every vegetable in the kit the same.
