Planting & Care Instructions
-
Soil Preparation: Prepare loose, well-draining garden soil enriched with vermicompost or organic compost. Methi prefers light, well-aerated soil with good drainage to prevent root rot.
-
Sowing: Broadcast seeds evenly over the soil surface or sow in shallow rows about 0.25 inches deep. Cover lightly with fine topsoil or coco peat and mist gently with water.
-
Watering: Water regularly using a spray bottle or light shower to keep the topsoil consistently moist without disturbing the shallow roots or logging water.
-
Spacing & Care: Space rows 4 to 6 inches apart. Trim or harvest leaves regularly from the top to promote fresh, bushy regrowth for multi-cut harvesting.
