Our seeds are open-pollinated, untreated, and sourced from growers who don't use synthetic chemicals. We don't currently carry formal organic certification on every packet, because certification is expensive and complicated for a small operation — but we know our seed sources personally and we've grown every variety ourselves. For formally certified organic inputs, we stock certified vermicompost and neem cake.

Open-pollinated means the seeds came from plants that were pollinated naturally (by wind, insects, or themselves). Crucially, you can save seeds from the plants you grow and plant them again next year — they'll produce similar plants.

Hybrid seeds (which most supermarket seeds are) don't work this way: save seed from a hybrid tomato and you'll get something unpredictable next year. For kitchen gardeners who want to learn, save seed, and grow sustainably, open-pollinated is the way.

Minimum 12 inches for cherry tomatoes, 14–16 inches for regular tomato varieties. Bigger is always better for fruiting plants — more soil means more water capacity and more root room, which means more fruit. One plant per pot; don't cram two in.

Most of what we stock is gentle enough to use around pets without issue — neem oil, herbal sprays, ash, copper. We'd still suggest common sense: don't let the cat lick freshly-sprayed leaves, and keep concentrates out of reach. If you have specific concerns (a dog that eats everything, for example), message us and we'll help you choose.

Coco peat is processed coconut husk fibre — light, fluffy, holds water brilliantly, drains well. Potting soil is a mix of soil, compost, and amendments. For containers and pots, you almost always want a mix of both: coco peat for texture and drainage, potting soil and compost for nutrients and body. Our potting mix concentrate is a pre-blended version of exactly that.

Yellow leaves are the single most common symptom, and confusingly, they mean different things in different situations. The three most common causes: overwatering (most common by far — let the soil dry out a bit between waterings), nutrient deficiency (needs compost or a feed), or the natural end of a leaf's life (especially if it's the older lower leaves). WhatsApp us a photo (+91 80870 00708) and we'll usually tell you which it is within the day.

From our open-pollinated seed varieties, yes. Tomato, chilli, coriander, beans, and okra are the easiest to save from. We have a guide on seed saving on our journal — it's genuinely one of the satisfying parts of kitchen gardening.
