Growing your own produce is made easy with The Little Veggie Patch Co's Beneficial Bug Seed Kit, which includes five easy plant seeds. This kit includes produce seeds Borage, Dandelion, Dill, Tansy and Clover. They attract beneficial bugs such as ladybirds, lacewings and other predatory insects. These bugs are lured in by the colours and scents of the plants to ensure biodiversity in your garden. Each kit comes with planting instructions, seeds, peat plugs and reusable plant labels.

Use the Peat Plugs

  1. Soak in lukewarm water for 5-10 minutes until the plugs enlarge to roughly 5 times their size
  2. Sow seeds into the plugs at their recommended depth
  3. Keep a mini greenhouse and make sure to water as they develop
  4. Once the seedlings are roughly 5-10cm in size and conditions are suitable, transplant to the veggie patch

Convert the tube into a propagating pot

Each tube will make two propagating pots. The container is printed with non-toxic aqueous inks.

  1. Cut down the long tube so that it stands approximately 10cm tall
  2. Poke a few holes in the base of each to allow drainage
  3. Fill up with a good quality organic potting mix
  4. Sow seeds at their recommended depth
  5. Keep them well watered in a mini greenhouse
  6. Once the seedlings are 5-10cm tall and conditions are suitable, plant the pot directly into the veggie patch
