FAQs

Q: What exactly is included in the 3 in 1 Salad Gardening Kit?
A: The kit includes three coir pots (9 cm height x 10.5 cm top diameter), three coir discs (expand into soil), three plant labels, one reusable spray bottle for gentle watering, and 300 grams of organic vermicompost. You also receive three seed packets: Cherry Tomato (7-10 seeds), Capsicum Mix (7-10 seeds), and Lettuce (7-10 seeds). No additional soil or tools are required.

Q: How much sunlight do Cherry Tomato, Capsicum, and Lettuce need when grown from this kit?
A: All three vegetables thrive in full sun exposure. Place the pots where they receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily – a south-facing balcony, terrace, or bright windowsill is ideal. Lettuce can tolerate slightly less sun (4-6 hours) but grows best with ample light. In extremely hot Indian summers (above 38°C), provide afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch.

Q: What is the expected blooming and harvesting period for this salad kit?
A: These are summer vegetables. Sow seeds in early spring (February-March) for a summer harvest. Cherry tomatoes and capsicum typically start fruiting within 60–75 days after germination, while lettuce leaves can be harvested as baby greens in 30–40 days. With proper care, you can enjoy continuous harvests throughout the summer season.

Q: Are the coir pots biodegradable? Can I plant them directly into the ground?
A: Yes. The coir pots are made from compressed coconut fibre and are 100% biodegradable. When your seedlings outgrow the pots, you can transplant the entire pot into a larger container or garden bed. The roots will grow through the walls, and the pot will decompose naturally, adding organic matter to the soil. This eliminates transplant shock and plastic waste.

Q: How do I use the coir discs and vermicompost together? Is there a step-by-step guide included?
A: Yes, a detailed instruction booklet is included. The simple process: place each coir disc in a bowl, add warm water, and wait 10 minutes for it to expand into fluffy soil. Drain excess water, then mix in the 300g vermicompost (divide equally among the three pots). Fill each coir pot, plant the seeds at the recommended depth, and water gently using the spray bottle. Keep moist but not soggy.

Q: Can I grow this salad kit indoors without a balcony? What about air conditioning?
A: You can grow it indoors near a very bright, south-facing window. However, cherry tomatoes and capsicum require strong light; without sufficient sunlight, they may become leggy and produce less fruit. Consider using a full-spectrum grow light for 12-14 hours daily if growing indoors. Keep the kit away from direct air conditioning vents, as cold drafts slow germination and growth.

Q: Is this kit suitable for children or as a school gardening project?
A: Absolutely. The 3 in 1 Salad Gardening Kit is perfect for teaching kids about where food comes from. The spray bottle is safe and fun for young gardeners, the coir pots are lightweight, and the seeds germinate quickly (5–10 days for lettuce and tomatoes). It makes an excellent return gift for birthday parties, summer camp activity, or a classroom project on sustainable agriculture.

Q: How does Ecofynd ensure the seeds have high germination rates? Are they organic?
A: Ecofynd sources hand-selected, non-GMO seeds from trusted growers who prioritize germination vigour and flavour. While not certified organic (due to small-batch sourcing), the seeds are untreated with synthetic fungicides. We recommend using the organic vermicompost and coir provided to create a chemical-free growing environment. Most customers report over 80% germination success when following the instructions.

Q: What makes this kit more sustainable than buying salad vegetables from the store?
A: Store-bought salads often come in plastic clamshells, are wrapped in plastic film, and travel hundreds of kilometres, generating significant carbon emissions. This kit lets you grow your salad at home with zero plastic packaging (coir pots are biodegradable, the box is recycled cardboard, and the spray bottle is reusable). You also avoid pesticides and enjoy peak freshness. Ecofynd’s mission is to replace disposable growing systems with circular, home-based solutions.
