I've grown spinach in the past and they've always produced compact clumps
but haven't tried var Medania before. Purchased 1000 seeds for 99p, in a
grip-seal pouch. As with most online seeds, there's little aftercare
instructions.

A quick Google gets you :-

Under 'What to do next' there's a ref to Sideshooting. Further Googling
mentions tomatoes and fruit bushes only. Anyone had any experience with
Medania. Do they send out 'plantlets' - like strawberries? TIA.


No, they don't. They are just like any other spinach.

Thanks Nick, I guess Kings seed don't use proof-readers :-)

They mention also that Spinach benefit from a high potash feed. Last week I
split some comfrey from the allotment and transplanted to the garden. As you
know, these are high in potash. After flowering I'll cut them down and use
the leaves as a wet mulch for the spinach :-

There's always Tomorite, of course ;-)
