Garden soil must be well drained and rich in organic matter such as well-rotted manure and compost when growing eggplant. Also, test your garden soil pH levels. A pH level between 6.0-7.0 is best for growing eggplant. If you're in an area that experiences frosts, mulch heavily around the roots and cover with cloths at night. Keep the garden bed weed-free. However, weed carefully so not to disturb eggplant's shallow root system. Planting Growing eggplant requires warm garden soil and warm air temperatures for the seed to germinate (68+ degrees (F)).

Maintain even moisture and temperature levels in the soil around the roots by mulching around the plant. ******************************************************************** Follow as on Instagram : darkwingsshop Like as on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/darkwingstheshop Take a look at our new shop : https://www.etsy.com/shop/darkwingsshop ********************************************************************* All seeds in my shop are from my organic garden here in Greece. * I give a lot of time and effort to keep you all satisfied so PLEASE READ THE SHOP POLICIES before you purchase something from my shop.
