Thank you for buying this Farm Box.
Each Farm Box is made from recyclable bio-based material, reducing the
amount of waste that will end up in landfills. Now, as you watch your plants
flourish, you’ll know exactly how they grew and what they were fed. Plus, you
can pick just the right moment to enjoy their fresh, delicate flavors, all
without having to rinse or transport them. It’s better for you, your family,
and the planet!
Made From Recycled
Landfill Waste
What You’ll Need
- A seedling with at least 2 leaves, or a young plant (2-3 weeks).
- Fertilizer with an NPK around 5-3-8 (amount of nutrients relative to liters of water).
- Approximately 8.5 liters of lukewarm tap water.
- An area of your home that gets at least 4 hours of light a day (partial shade).
- Ready. Set. Grow
Maintenance
One week after planting, fill the box with lukewarm tap water through an empty hole, or by removing a plant until the water gauge indicates that the box is full. Repeat for each f the next three weeks. After a month, drain the water (preferably into another planter) and refill. Add nutrients to the water, and mix well, (repeat step 2). If the gauge drops to the level of the box top, the farm box needs to be topped up with water!
Cleaning
After each use, or at least every 12 weeks, wash all parts of your Farm Box
with hot water and gentle detergents. Make sure you remove all organic
residue, like roots and leaves, and rinse thoroughly. The hydroton can be
reused – simply clean it with hot water, remove any organic parts, and store
it in the original pouch.
Ready. Set. Grow
Place the water gauge in the little hole at the corner of the lid, aking
sure it sits flat.| Fill the farm box with lukewarm water until the water
gauge
indicates it is full. Add the required nutrients to 8.5 liters of
water and ix well.
Take a growing cup and add a thin layer of hydroton. If using a?
seedling grown in a soilless substrate, place the seedling in the
center of the cup and carefully sprinkle with hydroton up to the
the base of the stem.| If using a seedling grown in soil, carefully wash off
the soil and expose the roots
before lacing the seedling in the center of the cup. You can thread the
exposed
roots into the hole in the bottom of the cup (making sure the stem stays
at least 2 cm from the bottom). Carefully sprinkle with hydroton up to the
base
of the stem.
Place the growing cup in one of the holes – the hydroton
will immediately absorb water and become moist.Place the
growing cup in one of the holes – the hydroton will immediately
absorb water and become moist.| Repeat with however many seedlings you want
to grow. If you leave one hole
empty and covered, you can use it later to top up the farm box with water.
Make sure to close all empty holes with the attached covers to protect the
roots from light.

There’s no end to the leafy greens your Farm Box can grow. Which one will you
choose next?
