Agricultural technology.
Saltwort is a cold-resistant, light-loving plant. Prefers sunny, fertile areas. Seeds are sown without embedding, but with obligatory mulching with peat by 2-3 cm.
Seedlings appear on the 10-15th day. Crop care consists of loosening row spacings, watering and fertilizing.
To obtain earlier greenery, it is possible to sow before winter, on frozen soil (in Estonian conditions, this is the second decade of November - early December), with obligatory mulching with peat by 2-3 cm.
Greens are cut several times during the season, leaving only the lower leaves: when a part of the plant is removed, young greens grow back.
