Steps for seed sowing
  1. Spacing Make very shallow holes (1 cm) with
    distance of 6 x 6 inches apart by finger
    throughout the surface of soil medium.
  2. Sow 2-3 seeds per hole.
  3. Push the seeds little bit in soil medium with
    your fingers cover them all with surrounding
    soil.
  4. Water the sown seed bed immediately by light
    shower with watering can.

Growth Stages
  • 1.Germination
  • Seeds will germinate within first 6 days or even
    much earlier tiny seedlings will be visible
    with first leaves.
  • 2.Thinning
  • If more than one seed has germinated per hole,
    cut off the smaller seedlings only keep one
    seedling per hole.
  • 3.Baby Spinach
  • Plants will be seen in 10-15 days.
  • 4.Mature Leaves
  • Will be ready to harvest in 30 days.

Growing Instructions
  • Sunlight Spinach requires partial sunlight (3-4
    hours) in summer it can withstand full sunlight
    in winters. Place your containers accordingly.
  • Watering technique Water your spinach container
    / raised bed every day in the form of light
    shower with watering. Sprinklers can be placed
    outdoors.
  • Manuring As mentioned earlier, add good quality
    organic manure in the soil with 21 ratio before
    sowing seeds. Organic manure can be well rotten
    cow dung manure, farmyard manure, Bio-compost or
    Vermicompost

Growing Instructions
  • Plant care Always look for the early signs of
    any insect/fungal/ any other infections. Spay
    appropriate medicines as soon as any symptoms of
    such infections are spotted.
  • Harvesting About 30 days after sowing,
  • Spinach can be harvested by cutting the mature
  • leaves using a scissor and leaving the tender
  • growing base of the plant for the next harvest. 
  • This way you can harvest for 4-5 times in
  • intervals of 25-30 days.

Microgreens
  • If you plan to grow micro greens spinach. Grow it
    indoors in flat containers. Sow-scatter the seeds
    in crowded manner. You can harvest it in 10-15
    days by uprooting baby plants.
