Cultivation of arugula at home - step by step instruction
Cultivate this amazing plant onwindowsill can be at any time of the year. But be sure to choose a place near the sunny window, preferably on the east or south side. To enjoy the arugula all year round, you need to buy her seeds in the horticultural store, they stand there literally a penny. And in a month you can eat fresh and fragrant shoots of this amazing plant.
Necessary materials:
arkula seeds
pot
drainage
the soil
water
Main stages:
Instead of a pot, you can use any deepdecorative dishes. In our master class was used a ceramic cup, which fits perfectly into the interior of the kitchen. Fill the pot with a third drain (claydite). This must be done to avoid stagnation of water and decay of roots.
Next to the expanded clay, almost to the top, we pour the soil into the pot. The land is better to take the purchased one, since it is decontaminated and is full of the substances necessary for the plant.
Then the soil is well watered with a stand-off (preferably thawed) water, so that it settles and generously spreads the seeds on the surface.
From above, the seeds should be tampered with with earth,so that they are at a depth of one centimeter. More watering is not necessary, otherwise the seeds with water will go deep underground and will not be able to germinate. We put the pot on the windowsill.
Care for arugula is reduced to its regular watering- Once every 3-4 days. The germination capacity of her seeds is good, so the first sure shoots will appear in a week. After about a month and a half, the aromatic spice will already be fit for consumption.
