Method
Planting
- Prepare three pots with fertilized soil, ensuring proper drainage. Plant one pack of broccoli seeds in each pot, spacing them evenly.
- Cover the seeds lightly with soil and water thoroughly. Place the pots in a sunny location, maintaining a temperature of at least 60°F (15°C).
Nourishment
- Once seedlings emerge, usually within a week, begin adding beef compost. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup around the base of each plant, avoiding direct contact with the stem.
- Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reapply beef compost every two weeks to provide continuous nutrients.
Harvest
- Broccoli plants are typically ready for harvest in 60-90 days when the central head is firm and compact. Cut the head with a sharp knife, leaving side shoots to produce smaller florets.
- Continue to water and fertilize for a prolonged harvest from the side shoots.
Notes
Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Rotate your plants periodically for even sun exposure. For best results, use organic beef compost.
