Starting a sushi grow a garden involves planning, setup, and maintenance for optimal growth:
1. Location: Choose a sunny spot with 6-8 hours of sunlight; use raised beds or containers if space is limited.
2. Soil prep: Test pH (aim for 6.0-6.8) and enrich with compost or organic matter.
3. Plant selection: Begin with easy-to-grow options like cucumbers, radishes, and microgreens; add rice if climate supports it (e.g., warm regions).
4. Planting: Sow seeds in early spring or start indoors; space plants 6-12 inches apart for airflow.
5. Watering and care: Water deeply once a week, mulch to retain moisture, and use organic insecticides like neem oil.
6. Harvesting: Pick ingredients fresh before sushi prep; rotate crops for continuous yield.
