8 Steps to your Pocket Money Garden

Step 1

Put drainage holes in the bottom of the potting mix bag.

 

Step 2

Carefully place the potting mix bag into the polystyrene box. 

Push gently to make sure the potting mix is well spread out.

Be careful not to break the box.

 

Step 3

Cut holes in the potting mix where your seeds are to go.

 

Step 4

Push open some holes for the seedlings.

Step 5

Take some seedlings by gently separating the soil - a clump is fine for the instant garden - don't try to separate every single one. 

Step 6

Place the seedlings in the hole and push the soil in around them.

Step 7

Don't worry how they look, in a few days they will be growing strongly.

Step 8

Once they are in, water them well. 

Here are the plants a few weeks later.
