3 Steps to Grow Your Own |
|
1. Decide how big an area you’d like to fill.
2. Select one of our instant kitchen gardens that best suits your needs.
3. Once the box of baby plants arrives, pop them into their new home to instantly create your own organic growing vegetable garden.
Step 1 – Deciding:
When you’re deciding where to put your garden, try to choose a spot that’s sheltered and gets plenty of sun.
Once you’ve chosen your location, you need to decide on a method for growing that best suits you. If you’re not a fan of digging then raised beds are perfect. When building them, make sure you can reach the middle from both sides of the bed so you don’t have to stand on the soil.
If you don’t mind digging, then mark out an area and remove the turf. Or you can cover the grass with an old carpet for a couple of months before you want to plant. This kills the grass instead of having to remove it. Once cleared, the soil needs to be broken up with a fork. Push it in down to a spades depth and twist. This gives you a deep, well-turned soil that’s the perfect home for your baby plants to grow in.
You can grow your own food in almost anything, whether it’s pots, containers or even old baths. If you’d like some ideas, we have an excellent range of easy to use fabric containers, just click here to take a look. You can also click here to see some of our more unusual planting ideas.
Step 2 - Selection:
So now you know where you’re going to grow, you need to decide what you’re going to grow. Click here to take a look at all the different gardens we have available.
Once you’ve ordered, you’ll receive a confirmation email to say thank you for buying one of our gardens. The next time you’ll hear from us will be when we’re around 10 working days away from sending your garden. We then send one more email on the day your order leaves Rocket HQ.
Step 3 – Planting
When your garden arrives, remove all the plants from the box. If you’re not going to plant them straight away, sit them upright and give them a drink of water. When you’re ready to get going, have a good read through the growing guides that come with each garden and then start growing! |
