Soil care: deep, soft, light and rich soil.

Exposure : sunny or half-shade.

Sowing : in nursery or in the ground, thin out to leave only one plant every 30 cm, 40 cm between rows.

Emergence: in 7 to 11 days in soil at 19°C.

Watering: regular, must not lack water in summer so that the leaves remain tender. As soon as your plants reach 10 cm, mulch their feet so that the soil keeps humidity.

Advice from La Semence Bio ^®: in winter, ridge the feet on 30 cm and cover them with a mulch of dead leaves so that the chard is well protected and keeps all its flavor.
