Planting and Growing Instructions

Corn Salad, Dutch, Mache is an easy-to-grow green that thrives in cooler temperatures, making it perfect for fall and winter harvests. Here’s how to grow it in your garden:

1. Soil Preparation
   Plant Corn Salad in well-drained, fertile soil. Mix in organic compost or manure to improve fertility and ensure the soil is rich in nutrients. Mache Corn salad prefers a slightly alkaline soil pH of 6.5-7.0.

2. Planting
   Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 1 inch apart. If you’re growing in containers, use a large container with adequate drainage to ensure the plants thrive. Plant seeds in early spring or late fall for continuous harvest throughout the year.

3. Watering
   Corn Salad requires consistent moisture, so water the plants regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Water the soil around the base of the plants to avoid getting the leaves wet, which could promote disease.

4. Light Requirements
   Plant Corn Salad in partial shade or full sun for optimal growth. It thrives in cooler temperatures, making it an excellent choice for fall and winter planting. However, in hotter climates, plant it where it can receive some afternoon shade to protect it from the heat.

5. Maintenance
   Keep the growing area weed-free to avoid competition for nutrients. Thin the plants if needed to give them room to grow. If growing in containers, ensure the container has sufficient drainage to avoid waterlogging.

6. Harvesting
   Harvest Corn Salad leaves when they are young and tender. Pick the outer leaves as needed to allow the plant to continue growing. Regular harvesting encourages new growth, providing a continual supply of fresh greens.
