Instructions

-
Sprinkle the seeds thickly over the soil
-
Put a little more soil on top to “hide the seeds”
-
Water to dampen the soil
-
After sowing seeds, place in a warm light place - a windowsill works well.
-
Keep the soil damp and they should sprout in about 3-5 days depending on the type of seed.
-
Sprouts will be ready to use in about 10 days – 2 weeks from sowing.
-
Snip sprouts off just above soil level
-
Keep watering and you may get a second harvest (won’t be as many as the first harvest)
