Location, soil & sowing – how to get started

Most cultivated plants prefer a sunny to partially shaded location and loose, nutrient-rich soil. Many varieties can be sown directly in the garden bed, while heat-loving plants benefit from being started indoors on a windowsill. Pay attention to the instructions regarding sowing depth and planting distance – this will ensure strong young plants develop.

Care throughout the season

Regular, needs-based watering and good soil structure promote even growth. Mulching helps retain soil moisture. Depending on the crop, trellises (e.g., for beans) or stakes (e.g., for tomatoes) can be useful.

Useful additions & accessories

Seed trays and potting soil are ideal for a straightforward start. In urban environments, containers and raised beds are particularly practical. For quick, fresh culinary accents, we also recommend organic herb seeds , organic sprouts are worth considering .
