How do I use the Duckweed tile?

Allowing the duck tile to grow requires a good approach:

Remove a tile or create a suitable spot in your garden (30 by 30 cm).
Remove the label from the duckweed tile and place it in the prepared space.
Water a little when it is dry. If it rains, it's not necessary.
The first plants will grow within 2-4 weeks. The packaging is biodegradable, so there is no waste left.
