???? #MyBookofTeachersDortie ???? https://amzn.to/2MHb1st Arugula (Eruca sativa) is a green leafy plant with a spicy, tangy taste, often used in salads and culinary dishes. Here are some steps for growing arugula: 1°Soil preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Weed the area thoroughly and loosen the soil by digging it to make it loose. 2°Sowing: Arugula can be sown directly in the ground or in pots. Sow the seeds at a depth of about 1 to 2 cm and space them about 10 to 15 cm apart. You can also sow in rows to make the plants easier to manage. 3°Watering: Keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot. Water regularly using a watering can to avoid moving the seeds. 4. Thinning: When the plants reach a height of 5 to 10 cm, thin them out, leaving a spacing of about 20 to 30 cm between the plants. This will allow the remaining plants to develop properly. 5. Fertilizing: Arugula is not very demanding in terms of fertilization, but you can help it by adding a balanced organic fertilizer or well-rotted compost to the soil before planting. Avoid excess nitrogen, as this will promote leaf growth at the expense of flavor. 6. Harvesting: Arugula is ready to harvest about 4 to 6 weeks after sowing, when the leaves reach a sufficient size. You can cut the outer leaves individually or cut the entire plant about 2.5 cm above the ground for a more abundant harvest. 7°Crop rotation: To avoid disease and pest problems, it is recommended to rotate crops by not growing arugula in the same place for several consecutive years. ---- Also find me on: ????
