Growing Instructions: Making the compost: Place the peat-free compost pallets in a suitable mixing container and add 600ml of lukewarm water. Allow to stand and expand for 30-60 minutes, drain off any excess water and mix compost well. You may have more compost than you require and more water could be required if the compost mix is looking dry. How to plant:Fill 80% of each pot with compost and moisten. Scatter a sparse layer of seeds (one variety per pot), cover with a very thin layer of compost and moisten. Save any surplus seeds and any extra compost so you can re-seed the pots in the future. Move to a warm, well-lit area; a windowsill is ideal but full sunshine will dry out the compost rapidly. The compost must be kept moist at all times, never being allowed to dry out. After a few weeks, harvest with scissors as required, Re-seed when appropriate by removing the old plants and top layer of compost and following the instructions above. After purchase store in a cool, dry place. Each gift set includes 3 x terracotta pots,3 x terracotta saucers , a peat free compost pellets, Basil, Chives and Parsley seeds and full instructions.
