Flax Growing

Flax growing involves cultivating the flax plant, primarily for its seeds and fiber. Flax seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and are used in foods and supplements, while the plant's fibers are used to make linen fabric. Cultivation begins by preparing the soil, then sowing seeds in well-drained, fertile earth. Flax thrives in cooler climates and requires moderate rainfall. After about 90 days, the plant flowers and matures. Harvesting can involve pulling the entire plant for fiber or using combine harvesters for seeds. Flax is valued for its sustainability and versatility in various industries.
