How to Grow

Soil

Prepare the soil with chicken manure before planting and ensure it is well-draining. An application of lime can also benefit the soil as part of the preparation. Allow the soil amendments to settle for one week before planting.

Position

Plant in full sun, preferably against a fence where you can install a trellis and make efficient use of your growing space.

Plant where you have previously grown, or intend to grow, tomatoes, eggplants or capsicum.

How to Plant 

Sow directly into the garden patch at a depth of 2–3cm. A chopstick or pencil can be used to make holes at the correct depth.

Place 2–3 seeds in each hole, cover with soil, gently pat down and water in.
