5 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

Place two or three seeds in each hole.  Wiggle them down so they are buried in the soil.

Once you have put seeds in each hole, pour a little water in each hole.

Step 5

Cut a hole in the middle of the bag.

Fill the bottle with water.  Quickly tip the bottle upside down over the hole and screw it into the soil.
