The Importance of New Compost

Here at Kings we really cannot stress enough the importance of using brand new, fresh compost when planting your seeds or transplanting into pots. We have conducted a little experiment of our own in our laboratory to truly see the difference between last years compost and new.

Kings Seeds VIP Press Day

Kings Seeds VIP Press Day went very well last Thursday, with a turnout of 32 key press and media contacts, including local newspapers and celebrity gardener and presenter Bob Flowerdew. We were also delighted to have Dr. D.G hessayon with us and he signed some copies of his new "Expert Gardener" books. The weather was superb and everyone enjoyed a tour of the Kings Seeds site, including the Laboratory where seeds are tested for germination and vigour and the seed packing area. Old equipment dating back to 1888 when Kings was first established was also on display, including measurers such as Bushels and Peck, seed polishers and centrifugal helix spiral seed sorters.

Successional Sowing - How to Get The Most From Your Raised Beds

Sometimes, less is more, so whether you have an allotment, large kitchen garden or just a single raised bed, you should use successional sowing to ensure a steady, regular and appropriate supply of vegetable throughout the growing season, rather than a glut all at once. Basically, using the principle of little and often, it involves extending your harvest by sowing a row every few weeks or so. Quick growing crops such as French beans, peas, spinach, salads and carrots lend themselves to this way of cultivation. In this way you can ensure a regular, fresh supply of vegetables that otherwise would perish quickly under storage conditions.

Kings Seeds VIP Press Day

Preparations are now well underway for our first ever VIP press day to be held here at our Head Office and farm at Kelvedon, Essex on Thursday 11th June.

125 Years In The Making - A History Of E.W King & Co

Ernest William King founded E.W.King & Co in 1888 when he was just 18 years old. His great grandfather, John King first started growing seeds in Essex in 1793 initially with just 3 acres of land, but it was greatly enlarged by John's son, John Kemp King who set up his company called J K King Seeds.
