Spinach is arguably one of the most versatile veggies you can grow in your home patch. From salads to soups, stir-fries, and everything in between - you can throw a handful in with whatever you’re cooking for a delicious nutrient boost!

It makes a great winter green crop, making autumn the perfect time to get started.

**Sunlight:** Grow in a nice sunny spot.

**Watering:** Keep sown seeds moist until they germinated. Then regular watering is beneficial.

**Soil:** Prepare your garden soil with good amounts of [ActivGrow Soil Improver](https://rockypoint.com.au/products/activgrow/) and [Cow Manure Plus](https://rockypoint.com.au/products/cow-manure-plus/). Add some [Poultry Manure Fertiliser Pellets](https://rockypoint.com.au/products/poultry-manure/) as well prior to planting. Mound up the soil to plant into.

**Thinning:** There is no need to thin out clumps of spinach growing, they hate root disturbance, so you might ruin the bunch.

**Harvest:** Spinach grows relatively quickly, keep picking larger outer leave to promote continuous growth.
