What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Spinach is a cool-weather crop that thrives in early spring and autumn, benefiting from rich soil nutrients and consistent moisture.
-
Spring Direct Sowing: Direct sow seeds 12 mm deep and 2.5 cm apart in rows spaced 30 to 45 cm apart as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. Repeat succession sowings every two weeks until late spring for a continuous harvest.
-
Autumn Direct Sowing: Sow seeds again from mid- to late August for a lush autumn crop.
-
Thinning (Crucial Step): Once seedlings emerge, thin plants to 5 to 7.5 cm apart. Proper thinning is the secret to achieving thick, lush, high-yielding plants.
-
Soil Care & Top-Dressing: Top-dress plants with rich organic compost once seedlings are well established. Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season.
-
Harvesting: Harvest individual outer leaves as needed to allow continuous production, or cut the whole crown at soil level when mature.
