17210162 Farm Box
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.

| 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 hydrotonwill 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. |
