ROOTS VEGGY SEEDS COMBO PACK

To successfully grow the vegetables from the Roots Veggy Seeds Combo Pack, which includes Beetroot, Carrot Gavran, Radish Pusa Chetki, and Onion Nashik Red,

follow these step-by-step guidelines for each type of seed:

General Preparation for All Seeds:
Choose the Right Location:
Select a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Root vegetables need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
Prepare the Soil:
Loosen the soil well to a depth of 20-30 cm to allow the roots to grow properly.
Add organic compost to improve soil fertility and texture.
Ensure the soil is free from large stones and clumps that could hinder root growth.
Watering:
Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water regularly, especially in dry weather, to promote healthy root development.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions for Each Vegetable:

1. Beetroot:

Seed Depth: Plant Beetroot seeds 1-2 cm deep in rows.
Spacing: Space the seeds 10-15 cm apart in rows, with 30 cm between rows.
Sowing Time: Plant in early spring or late summer when temperatures are between 10°C to 24°C.
Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but avoid waterlogging.
Harvest: Beetroots are usually ready for harvest in 50-60 days when the roots are around 5-7 cm in diameter.

2. Carrot Gavran:

Seed Depth: Sow Carrot seeds about 0.5 cm deep in loose, well-drained soil.
Spacing: Space the seeds 2-3 cm apart in rows, with 20-30 cm between rows.
Sowing Time: Plant in early spring when temperatures are between 10°C to 20°C.
Watering: Keep the soil moist, especially during germination, but avoid standing water.
Harvest: Carrots take 70-90 days to mature. Harvest when they are about 15-20 cm long and have a bright orange color.

3. Radish Pusa Chetki:

Seed Depth: Plant Radish seeds 1-1.5 cm deep in the soil.
Spacing: Space the seeds 5-8 cm apart in rows, with 20 cm between rows.
Sowing Time: Radishes thrive in cooler temperatures, so plant in early spring or fall.
Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Harvest: Radishes are typically ready to harvest in 25-30 days when they reach about 2.5-5 cm in diameter.

4. Onion Nashik Red:

Seed Depth: Plant Onion seeds 1-2 cm deep in rows.
Spacing: Space the seeds about 10 cm apart in rows, with 30 cm between rows.
Sowing Time: Onions are usually planted in early spring or fall when temperatures range from 15°C to 20°C.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid over-watering to prevent rot.
Harvest: Onions take 120-150 days to mature. Harvest when the tops start to fall over and dry out.
Additional Care:
Fertilization:

Use organic compost or a balanced fertilizer to ensure the soil has the necessary nutrients.
Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as it can result in excessive leaf growth at the expense of the roots.
Mulching:

Use organic mulch around the plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
Weed Control:

Keep the planting area free of weeds, as they compete for nutrients and water. Use hand weeding or mulch to control them.
Pest Control:

Watch for pests like aphids, caterpillars, and root maggots, especially for root vegetables. Organic insecticides or neem oil can help control pests.
Key Tips:
Thin the seedlings: For carrots and beetroots, thin the seedlings once they sprout to avoid overcrowding, allowing the roots to grow properly.
Check soil depth: Root vegetables need loose, well-drained soil to grow without hindrance.
Regular watering: Ensure consistent moisture to promote healthy root development, especially in dry periods.
By following these instructions, you’ll be able to grow healthy and productive root vegetables from your combo pack!
