Before we go deeper into the depths of agroecology, I thought it appropriate to start at the start.
Super simple yet devastating when we stuff it up, planting is one of our most satisfying jobs in the market garden. Here’s a how-to:
- Make sure you have a strong plant which is ready for transplanting
- Dip or water the roots of the plant with a seaweed based liquid fertiliser
- Make sure your soil is lovely (sign up to our newsletter where we share some tips on developing delicious soil!)
- Open up a hole big enough for your plant
- Place it in the hole
- Cover all roots of the plant, and make sure none of the transplant soil is showing
- Press firmly and kindly
- Try to really gently tug on the leaves of the plant, it should not come out
- Water it in with a good soak
Hope this helps, sometimes it’s nice to revisit the basics.
