A useful place to start
Start with the growing and watering layers, choose a crop, then use what you observe to plan the next batches.
01 / Choose the tray layers
Separate growing trays, catch trays, medium and drainage before buying a pack.
02 / Learn one crop at a time
Compare the stand and cutting stage without treating different crops as interchangeable.
03 / Prepare the harvest space
Keep crop handling, cleaning and harvest access part of the growing routine.
04 / Plan repeated sowings
Turn your crop timing into a calendar and budget for overlapping trays, seed and fresh medium.
