Watering
Water a lot infrequently rather than a little frequently - as watering alters the temperature of the
soil. Use lukewarm water when watering to reduce the effect on the
soil.
It is better to water first thing in the morning or last thing at night, and is preferable to water in the morning; as the water will evaporate during the day but at night it is less likely to and can encourage fungal spores to develop. Never water in the middle of the day as it will all evaporate.
Make sure you water sufficiently. One gallon of water is sufficient for 2
seed trays - watered over 5 passes or leave in a tray of water to soak for two hours.
When watering
seed trays use the watering can rose facing upwards. Start the watering can off away from the food tray until an even flow is produced.
Where to grow veg
(tubs, pots, seed trays, grow bags, window boxes, hanging baskets)You don`t need a large vegetable patch; any container can be used to sow seeds as long as it’s clean and has drainage holes (e.g. tubs,pots,
seed trays, grow bags, window boxes and hanging baskets).
If using a grow bag or window box you could sow a row each of spring onions, radishes, stunted carrots, pok choi and salad leaves.
In a large container at the same time you could grow: six runner
beans and then a quarter each with carrots, radishes, spring onions and salad leaves.
You can even grow vegetable in your flower garden: stunted carrots and fine leaf beetroots wouldn’t look out of place.
