We recommend a good-quality, peat-free compost as it’s better for the environment. It’s a small choice that makes a big difference, and it grows veg just as beautifully.
You’ll need some seed trays to support healthy seedlings from the very start. Look for sturdy options that suit your space and can be reused season after season.
Labels might seem small, but they’re a beginner’s best friend and help you remember exactly what you’ve sown as your seedlings start to grow.

Open-pollinated seeds are pollinated by a natural process in which plants reproduce by allowing pollinators (such as bees, butterflies, wind or other natural elements) to transfer pollen between flowers within the same species. Unlike hybrid methods (sometimes marked as F1 on seed packets), there’s no human intervention or specific breeding programmes. Take a look at our blog HERE to find out more.
