Growing Instructions

Sowing season: 20 June to 15 August

Sowing method: Sow seeds directly in the final grow bag or soil bed; do not prepare seedlings. Soak seeds in clean water for 4–5 hours before sowing. Sow approximately ½ inch deep and cover lightly with soil.

Recommended grow bags:

• 24 × 12 inches

• 36 × 12 inches

Seeds may be sown in rows or spread evenly. Avoid overcrowding and thin excess seedlings after germination.

Soil: Use rich, soft and well-draining soil:

• 50% Bhalu Mitti

• 50% organic matter, preferably vermicompost

Sunlight: Provide approximately 4–6 hours of morning sunlight. During extreme heat, protect young plants from harsh afternoon sun.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Use gentle watering to avoid displacing seeds and young seedlings.

Feeding: Mix vermicompost into the soil before sowing. Apply a light, balanced vegetable fertilizer during active growth if required. Avoid excessive fertilizer application.

Care: Maintain good airflow, remove weeds and overcrowded plants, and inspect regularly for aphids, leaf miners, caterpillars and fungal problems.

Harvesting: Begin harvesting tender outer leaves when they reach a suitable size. Leave the central growing point intact for repeated harvesting. Regular picking encourages fresh leaf production.

Quick Summary: Direct sowing, soft fertile soil, consistent moisture, proper thinning and protection from intense afternoon heat are essential for healthy broadleaf spinach.
