Growing Instructions

Sowing season:
20 June to 15 August

Sowing method:
Sow directly in the final growing container or soil bed. Soak the seeds in clean water for 4–5 hours before sowing. Sow approximately 1 inch deep and maintain about 8–10 inches of spacing between plants.

Recommended grow-bag sizes:

24 × 12 inches
36 × 12 inches
45 × 12 inches

Avoid overcrowding and make sure the container has adequate drainage.

Soil:
Use rich, soft and well-draining soil. A recommended mixture is:

50% Bhalu Mitti
50% organic matter, preferably vermicompost

Sunlight:
Provide approximately 6–8 hours of sunlight. During very hot weather, protect newly sown containers from harsh afternoon sunlight until the seedlings are established.

Watering:
Keep the soil evenly moist without making it waterlogged. Water again when the upper layer of soil begins to dry.

Feeding:
Mix vermicompost into the soil before sowing. During active growth, apply a suitable vegetable fertilizer according to its labelled instructions. Avoid excessive fertilizer application.

Plant care:
Maintain proper spacing and good airflow. Remove yellow, dry or damaged leaves when required.

Harvesting:
Harvest the pods while they are young and tender, preferably at approximately 3–5 inches in length. Frequent harvesting encourages continued pod production.
