Growing Arugula (Rocket)

Arugula prefers a fertile, well-drained soil, with a pH range of 6.0-6.8 infull sun to part shade. It also prefers cool conditions and is hardy enough to over-winter in many locations from late summer and early fall sowings. It is also well-adapted for growing in cool greenhouses and high tunnels for winter production. 

Direct seed 1/8" deep from early spring onward at a rate of 30-50 seeds/ft. Germination should take 5-7 days. Seed can also be sprinkled on moist soil. Keep soil moist to slow bolting. For a continual supply, plant every 2-3 weeks until 3 weeks prior to first avg. frost date.

Be sure your soil mix does not dry out before germination!
