Calçots are tender and sweet onions grown in the interior of Catalonia. They were discovered in the 19th century by a farmer who started cooking the tender shoots of old onions over the embers.
They are traditionally grilled during family or friends gatherings (calçotadas) and are eaten with the hands, placing the calçot directly over the mouth and looking upwards while gobbling.
The use of a bib to avoid getting dirty is highly recommended. Each kit contains everything necessary to grow calçots: 1 100% biodegradable germination pot, 1 peat tablet, 1 calçot seed pump and 1 card with the necessary care.
INSTRUCTIONS
The use of the kit is very simple.
1. First we must place the peat tablet in a tray with the base covered with water for some hours, its size will increase 4 or 5 times.
2. Next we must drain and introduce the tablets in the pots.
3. We open the cloth that wraps the peat and we semi-bury the bombs.
4. It is important to maintain the bombs humid without drowning them, to spray water so as not to flood them.
5. The first days should not give him the direct sun, they need clarity and indirect light.
6. Around the tenth day of having sprouted it is the moment to place them in the definitive place.
7. We introduce each biodegradable flowerpot in the ground of the final flowerpot. Once in the soil it will degrade very quickly, leaving room for the roots.
