Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the set include soil?

The set includes peat growing plugs which act as the growing medium for your seeds.

Can I grow these herbs all year round?

Yes, as long as the herbs are kept in a warm room with adequate sunlight, you can grow them throughout the year.

Are the zinc pots drainage-compatible?

The pots are designed for this specific kit, but be careful not to overwater, as the wooden planter does not have built-in drainage holes.

What should I use to write on the chalkboard?

Standard blackboard chalk works best. Avoid using permanent markers.

How often should I harvest the herbs?

You can begin harvesting once the plants are established, usually when they have 3-4 sets of true leaves.

What is the warranty coverage?

The product includes a 1-year guarantee covering manufacturing defects and quality issues.

Troubleshooting

Seeds are not germinating

Ensure the peat plugs remain consistently moist but not waterlogged and that the room temperature is warm enough (above 18°C).

Plants are looking thin and reaching for light

This is a sign of 'leggy' growth. Move the planter to a location with more direct sunlight or consider a secondary grow light.

White mold appearing on the soil surface

Reduce watering frequency and improve air circulation around the plants to allow the soil surface to dry slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your garden is straightforward: start by hydrating the peat plugs according to their instructions, sow the provided seeds, and label your zinc pots using the chalkboard. To maintain the set, wipe the wooden planter with a soft, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage and ensure the zinc pots are drained properly after watering to prevent root rot. If the chalkboard becomes dusty, a damp cloth is sufficient to restore the surface. Because the system is 44cm tall, ensure the chosen windowsill has enough vertical clearance and is clear of curtains that might snag on the plants.
