Question 1

How do I use my Seed Pads?

Accepted Answer

We have developed a ready-to-use substrate solution: Seed Pads. These are composed of a natural substrate on which seeds and nutrients are stuck. This allows you to have the optimal quantity and distribution of seeds and nutrients on this natural, vegetable and compostable substrate.  To use your Seed Pads, you need:  Place them on the grids of your vegetable garden, leaving each end in contact with the water Use the spray provided by filling it with water (from the tap) to moisten the pad, to start the growth of the seeds Remove the cache provided to facilitate germination  That's it! You will then only have to remove the cover when it will be slightly lifted by the shoots. It is not necessary to use the spray again. The substrate will directly draw water from the reservoir to feed the roots.
