The 4-step plan in short
The guide explains every step in detail. Here's the short version:
Soak
Larger seeds like sunflower or pea soak in water for 8–12 hours first. Small seeds like rocket or cress stay dry.
Sow
Let the coco soil swell, press it smooth and spread the seeds evenly. Moisten and cover.
Wait & care
After 2–5 days everything has germinated. Once your seedlings are 1–3 cm tall, take off the cover and move them into the light.
Harvest & enjoy
After 5 to 14 days, cut them a finger's width above the soil and enjoy them right away.
