How to sow liquorice outdoors?
To sow liquorice outdoors, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. The best time to sow is in spring, when temperatures start to warm up. Prepare the soil by ploughing to weed and level.
Sow the seeds about 1 cm deep and about 30 cm apart. Be sure to water the soil well after sowing the seeds. Keep the soil moist but not soggy while the plants are growing.
Liquorice can be susceptible to fungal diseases, so it's important to watch for symptoms and avoid wetting the leaves when watering. To protect the plants from pests, you can plant companions such as lavender or mint nearby.
Once the plants are well established, you can harvest the liquorice roots for use in cooking or medicine. Be sure to leave some roots in the ground for future harvesting.
