How to Grow Fennel Bulb

• Sowing Seeds
  • Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Fennel prefers soil that is rich in organic matter.
  • Planting Depth: Sow seeds about 1 cm deep and space them 30-40 cm apart to allow the bulbs to develop fully.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry spells.

Care Instructions

• Thinning: Once seedlings are 5-10 cm tall, thin them to maintain proper spacing.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy growth.
• Weeding: Keep the area around the plants free from weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
• Mulching: Use organic mulch to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
• Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for common pests like aphids and caterpillars. Use organic insecticides or companion planting methods to control pests. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

Harvesting

• Bulbs: Harvest fennel bulbs when they are about the size of a tennis ball, typically 90-120 days after planting.
• Seeds: Allow some plants to flower and set seeds. Harvest the seeds when they turn brown and dry them for culinary use or future planting.
