PLANTING
Sprinkle only 8-10 seeds (per 4" pot) spaced evenly over moist soil, then cover with 1/2” layer of soil (do not pack)
WATER
2-3 oz per watering, or less. Allow the top 1/2’ of soil to dry slightly between waterings. DO NOT over-water or white fuzz (fungus) will grow on pots and soil.
AIR
Well-ventilated room, use a small fan to increase airflow
SUNLIGHT
6-8 hours per day of direct sunlight, or 12-16 hours per day grow lights
TEMPERATURE
45 degrees to 85 degrees (70-75 degrees is best for sprouting)
FERTILIZER
Fertilization needed at transplanting time only. We recommend using our Organic All-Purpose fertilizer.
GERMINATION
4-10 days to see sprouts
THINING
No thinning necessary
TRANSPLANT
Transplant one week after seedlings first appear. This usually occurs 10 days to 2 weeks after planting. It is important to transplant in this early stage so radish roots are not disturbed when they begin to form.
FERTILIZING
Fertilize at time of transplant and water in thoroughly. No additional fertilization required. We recommend using our All-Purpose fertilizer.
Jeff and I started Spade To Fork because more than anything we wanted to make food personal again. We loved teaching our own children how to grow food, and saw how far removed most of us have become from this process. Food has become industrialized and quality of produce and the skill of home gardening have been somewhat lost with this industrialized growth.
Our aim at Spade To Fork is to share the knowledge of gardening and make it as simple and fun as possible. We believe anyone, anywhere can and should have a garden.
All our products are certified organic and we always strive to use the most earth-friendly packaging. Having a toxic-free and healthy farm is important for our health and our planet's. We want to leave a better place for our children and the future generations. Thank you for being a part of this quiet revolution!
