What will you plant in your garden?
To have an efficient and environmentally friendly vegetable garden, make sure to avoid waste. It’s better to start small and grow over the years as your needs change. Plant vegetables and herbs that your family loves and that won’t get lost. Also, be sure not to plant more plants than you need for your consumption. It is unlikely that your family will need 12 tomato plants!
Not all vegetables and herbs are created equal, some are more difficult to grow than others. Be sure to plant varieties that suit your type of gardener.

How to grow microgreens
- Fill a seedling tray with Agromix Soil Mix for seedlings and sprouts, lightly moisturized
- Sow your seeds on top. The key is simply that they don't overlap. Press them lightly into the soil or sprinkle a bit of potting soil on top
- Place your tray by a sunny window and spray water to keep the soil moist at all times. You can use a plastic dome to keep moisture
- Microgreens are ready when they have their first pair of real leaves - between 7 and 21 days. You can cut it at their base then rinse and enjoy!

- in sandwich and burgers to replace lettuce
