How to fertilize Garden Rocket

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Garden Rocket after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Anyone knows the species? Alright so I had the bad idea to invade my kitchen, plant any seed I found and not name 11 very identical pots. Anyone knows what this could be?

For the first time in probably 3 years, I’m doing some veg outside! I haven’t got actual beds at this house, so I’m having to improvise! 🌱🥕🥗 Plastic pots for peas, and a rectangular metal planter (so technically #TeamCan ) with roughly mixed rocket and lettuce seeds. I’ve got another rectangle for some pepper seeds I’m trying to germinate as I type! 🫑 We had a fence panel come down, so we’ve broken it apart and my plan is to make more planters with it… if anyone has advice for such a venture please let me know..!! 🛠🔨 Some potential #GregFeedback here, I’d love to be able to add the dimensions of rectangular pots! This is about 10cm across but about 25/30 wide! 📏 I’d also love to be able to put what kind of soil combination I have, most of my pots are combinations of the soil types so I never quite know what to put #OutdoorGrowing #Seedlings #Nallon #WishMeLuck #VeggieLove #VegVentures
