Growing arugula or rocket leaves with actual results

Arugula or rocket leaves are the most common salad leaves available in the market. It is a fast-growing crop, which requires rich soil, a lot of sun and a lot of water. It's ready to harvest in 6 weeks.

[@FajarIsASerbian]

I really appreciate this video! Not all videos show the end result, which is what most people are looking for. You deserve more views!

[@dolcepescas6153]

I'm an arugulaholic. I love it on pizzas, on steak, in pasta, basically anything I eat I could happily have arugula with it. That's why I'm here. I like your video.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yeah, you need to develop taste for it

[@ladyela9283]

WOW! Only six weeks and what a gorgeous harvest!! God is sooooooo good❤

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

That is true

[@petinachambersmcvay8482]

This video is wonderful and your voice....the calmness reminds me of my grandmother ( not as in age)...you sound confident in my ability to a good job in this task. I can't tell you how much that means to me. She spoke to me the same way the first time she sent me into her kitchen to cook for her all by myself. I was just a child and had never cooked 'anything'. I was so nervous. But it all came out wonderful. Thank you for the instruction and, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the confident tone of your calming voice. This is my first time attempting to grow arugula. God bless you and keep you.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I am grateful

[@me1747]

I have to cover mine with mesh. The chipmunks love the new tiny sprouts!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yeah, I need to cover some of my vegetables too

I love Arugula. I like to saute it with some olive oil and other spices just to have greens on my plate with my dinner. I also sprinkle some in my spaghetti sauce. Great video.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Oh that's nice. A friend told me the same thing just this weekend.

[@santoshtajave8692]

Thank you very much for sharing with us! As we grow greens not directly in grunt shall we wash them up with Veniger or soda before eating to protect from parasites?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

You can if you want to

[@vasg1269]

I really liked this video. Shows all the stages of growth of arugula.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Thank you

[@smileyracs415]

wow very helpful thanks for sharing

[@JohandariAber]

Thank you, this is definitely easier and better way to grow. Currently I sowed and transfer to pots and its very tedious work. Great video. How many hours sun does rockets needs?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

3 to 4 hours

[@voz5585]

Very informative video. Thank you.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

You are welcome

[@elainejosebobadilla_art]

hi your arugula greens look amazing! I'm growing some on pots and I noticed that some of of the leaves are curing a little bit. Is this normal? Thank you :)

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Keep an eye if they curl too much, it could be a pest problem

[@A.H.59]

A very useful video, thank you. Also there was beautiful birdsong in the background. Where are you located?

[@imjalawesome]

Hello! Really great and inspiring video, thanks. I just planted my arugula on a small pot 2 days ago, it started to germinate already, but I like this idea of yours putting in a plastic tub, do you know when can I transfer them without destroying the roots? Thank you so much.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Once they are about 4 inches tall, you can transplant them.

[@dolcepescas6153]

Can arugula handle a lot of water, if the soil drains well? I'd like to grow this outside, but I live in a very rainy climate. It grows well on our patio, but I'd like to grow a lot more

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It can but generally leafy vegetables are susceptible to fungus and other pests with too much water. You can try it.

[@dolcepescas6153]

@@EasyPeasyGardening Ok.I love copper for those purposes. Put a copper wire around the black bucket, and slugs and pests cannot crawl up, like a salt barrier. Copper sulphate sprayed lightly on leaves kills fungus and other pests, and it's all natural. Wish me luck, I love arugula

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

@Dolcepesca s thanks for the info. I will check out copper sulphate. All the best

[@rosevindollo9831]

Very inspiring. What kind of tub/container is it that you used? Thanks

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It's a big storage box in which I have Ave drilled holes at the bottom

[@Mariahajbi1217]

When it’s summer what I should do keep them cover ?, how often you put water

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

You can put stakes around it and use garden cloth to cover it. In summers I water it everyday

[@asanablue]

Wow thats results! 💜

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Till the time they germinate

[@jennifergibson2867]

Easy Peasy Gardening thank you 🙏🏼

[@TheYellowsun76]

Thank you, much less complicated way of growing. Do you use a particular type of plastic tub?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

No, I don't. You can use anything, just make sure it has good drainage at the bottom.

[@mindystiltner4483]

Wow, your arugula looks great! Where do you get your compost? Is it homemade? I aspire to grow mine that well💕

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I make my own compost, just posted a video yesterday about making compost

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Nope

[@dylanashley799]

Dude some of the biggest arugula farms in the USA, are grown next to barns amongst the weeds it’s ridiculous, this is a plant that thrives with basically no care whatsoever

[@narohit]

Nice video with nice leaves , I grown in but after 3-4 weeks, leaves turned brown and it seems burnt in sun, although we watered nicely, do Arugula needs plenty of water and partial sun in summers of Delhi under polyhouse ? Kindly advice, thanks

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes, partial sun.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Or may be only indirectly sunlight. Delhi summers are very hot

[@narohit]

@@EasyPeasyGardening thanks, will plant in.partial sun

[@narohit]

Thanks for reply, our Arugula are in polyhouse, I suppose they require cooler temperatures, even though we have desert coolers, but at any point hot air hit tiny plants,

[@krajackram]

How deep is the tray/pot? Thanks for nice video

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

About 15 inches but it doesn't have to be that deep

2 to 3 hours of sunlight is enough

Do I need to thin the seedlings or will they grow well close together? I planted very densely

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

You can snip off a few at the ground level

[@Cherryl.L5]

[@vishmittal]

I sowed the seeds around 13 days ago and they germinated after which I kept the in balcony getting shaded light. I live in Qatar so currently the daytime temperature is close to 40degree C. The seeds have turned leggy and droopy. Any suggestions how to revive them?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Give them more light, it's a delicate balance, maybe no direct sun, just indirect light

[@dispmonk]

This is a cool season crop. 7-18 Deg. C

[@BillyKueekSG]

I live in Singapore and where I stay, my plants get dome shaded afternoon sun. I only managed to grow my Arugula to about the equivalent of your 1.5 weeks. They then just withered off, leaves kinda break off . What advises do you have for me please?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It should grow well in Singapore. Did you water it enough?

[@BillyKueekSG]

@@EasyPeasyGardening, thank you for replying. I believe its jot enough sun as my balcony only has shaded late afternoon sun? I am lost too, now trying to grow them hydroponically

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

@@BillyKueekSG I think they got too much sun. You need to keep them in shade and water more often.

When do you harvest the arugula

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

You keep harvesting the leaves when they become 3 to 5 inches long

[@bruceparker6142]

How many leaves do you get per plant?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Oh too many. Countless. I was cutting and more were growing

Will they grow in 30C weather?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

probably not
