Nutritional Information
This collection provides a diverse harvest of nutrient-rich root and leafy vegetables, along with beneficial herbs:
-
Cabbage is an outstanding source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K.
-
Carrots are rich in Vitamin A (beta-carotene) and dietary fibre.
-
Chives and Dill add flavour and nutrients while protecting the main crops, ensuring a higher quality final yield.
What you need to know to Plant & Grow
This kit is ideal for planting in a tight, intercropped arrangement, where the beneficial relationships can be maximized.
-
Sow Outdoors: All four varieties can be direct-sown in the garden when the soil is workable in early spring.
-
Planting: Plant the carrots and cabbage in alternating rows or sections. Interplant the Chives and Dill throughout the bed or along the perimeter.
-
Spacing: Follow spacing recommendations for your main crops: Cabbage (45 cm to 60 cm) and Carrots (thin to 3 cm to 5 cm). Place the Dill and Chives strategically to maximize pest-repelling scent.
-
Full Sun to Partial Shade and consistently moist, well-drained soil are essential.
Symbiotic Benefits: Chives help deter carrot rust flies and aphids. Dill attracts beneficial insects like ladybugs and predatory wasps, which feed on pests that attack cabbage and carrots. Danish Ballhead Cabbage‘s large leaves shade the soil, conserving moisture, while its scent helps confuse the pests that target the Nantes Carrot roots.
