Product info

There's nothing more satisfying than eating food you grew yourself, and with Sow Delicious, you can do that anywhere. Each pack contains a slab of soil, organic fertilizer, and heirloom, non-GMO seeds. They are designed to work perfectly in pots, so no matter how little space you have, you can grow your own food, and eat a garden that's Sow Delicious!

  • Spicy Rocket
  • Slab designed to enable you to snap a block off and plant it separately from the rest, in a pot, or alongside other plants in the ground
  • Handmade from a special blend of organically enriched super-soil and infused with rare heirloom seed (the purest & oldest seed on earth which is also non-GMO)
  • Secret formula keeps the seed moist 3 x longer than the soil:
    • Helps grow bigger seedlings and root systems
    • Protects it from scorching sun
    • Improves the taste of your harvest
  • All parts fully bio-degradable and made in South Africa
  • Companion plants (when two plants are grown together for the benefit of one or both of those plants): Cucumber, Coriander, Mint, Tomatoes, Basil, Spinach

This Slab of Seed will grow you a delicious heirloom variety of wild rocket called Red Streaks:

  • Red Streaked Rocket is a gorgeous Arugula! This pungent, flavourful wild variety has oak-leaf-shaped, serrated leaves, traced with striking maroon. The pretty flowers and seed pods are also edible! It looks and tastes wonderful in summer salads, and it’s a wonderful addition to ornamental beds and containers, too. A must for pesto, pasta and great pizza! This leafy green vegetable is native to the Mediterranean region and southern Europe.
    • Tasting note: Spicy & nutty

About Sow Delicious

In 2013, Vanessa Jacobs set out to find the simplest way to grow a garden fit for a foodie, giving people the opportunity to proudly plant a garden that is Sow Delicious! She came up with the idea for the ‘Slab of Seed’ which might look like a slab of chocolate, but is made from a special blend of organically enriched super-soil and infused with rare heirloom seed – the purest & oldest seed on earth which is also non-GMO. The slabs are handmade in a unique little chocolate factory in the heart of Eden in The Garden Route.
