- Spacing: Space seeds or seedlings about 30 cm apart to allow for adequate growth and airflow.

- Deep watering: Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on rainfall and temperature, to encourage deep root growth.
5. Mulching
- Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
6. Fertilizing
- Balanced fertilization: Use an organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support growth, especially during the active growing season.
7. Pest and Disease Management
- Natural pest control: Keep an eye out for pests like aphids and snails. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap to manage infestations organically.
- Proper spacing: Ensure adequate spacing between plants to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
