Chives pot

Details

Chives (Allium schoenoprasum). A very versatile aromatic herb used in potatoes, quiche, fish, soups and pancakes. The flowers are also edible and have a mild garlic flavour. Add the herb at the end of the cooking process to ensure the most intense flavour. Best used fresh, but can be freeze-dried without much loss of flavour.

How do I start growing my own chives?

1. Cut the grow bag from under the seal and take out the substrate containers and seeds, leaving the clay balls at the bottom for drainage.

2. Open the substrate bag and fill it with water to the top level of the substrate. Seal the bag and work with your hands so that all the substrate is moistened. Make a hole in the bag and remove the excess water and pour the moistened soil into the bag.

3. Sprinkle about 15-20 seeds and cover them by half a centimetre. Save the rest of the seeds for the next crop.

4. Place a plastic greenhouse until the first sprouts are produced in a place with light but no direct sun and add hours of sunlight as they grow.

5. Keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged, watering with a spray is a good option.
