🌱 Growing Tips

Black lentils are easy to grow and highly rewarding, even for beginner gardeners:

• Planting: Sow directly outdoors in early spring once soil is workable, or in fall in milder climates. Space seeds 1–2 inches apart, 1 inch deep, in rows 12–18 inches apart.

• Sunlight: Requires full sun for optimal growth.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining loamy or sandy soil with a neutral pH. Enrich with compost for best yields.

• Watering: Moderate, consistent watering – avoid overwatering to prevent rot.

• Support: While not heavy climbers, plants benefit from light staking if they sprawl.

• Harvest: Pods mature in 80–110 days. Pick when pods are dry and seeds rattle inside. Dry thoroughly before storing.

✅ Pro Tip: Rotate lentils with other crops to naturally improve soil fertility and reduce pests.
