Growing Paper
Paper that turns into dinner
At VÅRLAKS we like things that make sense. If a simple recipe card can grow into real herbs for your next meal, it should. Growing paper makes that possible. You read it, you plant it and a few weeks later you’re cooking with oregano, thyme and basil that came straight from the card. Zero waste, maximum flavour and a little bit of magic.
What it is
Growing paper is biodegradable paper mixed with real herb seeds. Once it touches soil and water, the fibres break down and the seeds take over. No plastic. No coatings. No nonsense. Just pure material that becomes something better. Just pure material that turns into something useful.
How it works
- Tear the card into small pieces.
- Plant the pieces under a thin layer of soil in a pot or garden.
- Water lightly and keep the soil damp for the first five days, so the seeds wake up.
- Give it sunlight and let nature handle the rest.
- Watch oregano, thyme and basil appear, grow and become part of your cooking.
When to plant
- Sow outside from mid May.
- Sow indoors in early spring.
- Place in a sunny spot.
- Use vegetable garden soil, keep it lightly moist and let excess water drain away.
- Keep the paper wet during the first five days.
- Annual plant with guaranteed germination.
Why we did this
Because waste sucks.
Because better choices taste better.
Because your meal deserves real ingredients from start to finish.
Salmon raised right. Herbs grown by you.
Simple. Honest. Better.
