Growing Rocket, also Arugula/Rucola

Rocket would have to be one of the easiest greens i have grown. Even in my soil which is a bit heavy on clay, Rocket thrives. I have mixed some manure and gypsum though the soil with the occasion multi purpose fertiliser. Throw some seeds around and they spout in no time. Pick the leaves as you need them. I let them go to seed, then harvest the hundreds of seeds for the next round of planting. So easy!
