Thank you for your question! I don’t spray the straw with chemicals. Instead, I let it sit in the sun for a few days to reduce the presence of bugs and parasites.

your plant is small but is fruiting, which is a sign that you're doing something wrong. At that stage you should up pot

Thanks!

Thanks! 💚

Thanks 💚

Thank you! Glad the video helped 💚

Thanks for your comment! No additional nutrients were used. The seed grows well in just water or soil initially. Let me know if this works for you!

Thank you 🙏💚

Hi! Yes, those early blooms would become fruit. However, by pinching them off, we help the plant focus its energy on developing a stronger root system and more foliage, leading to healthier and more productive plants later on. It may seem counterintuitive, but it’s a common practice for better long-term yields. Thanks for watching! 💚

Hi, Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful 💚 Best of luck with your bunny ears cactus-I’m sure it will thrive and start its own family in no time! 🌵😊

Thanks for your comment! Coir can be a great mulch option, even if it’s not as commonly used. It offers benefits comparable to other mulches. We cut the straw manually for our small containers. This method is perfect for tiny gardens or balconies. But let’s be real, if you have a larger garden or lots of containers, it’s best to use pre-cut straw or cut it with a mower or shredder. The key is to make sure the straw is in small pieces to get all the benefits discussed in the video, no matter how you cut it.

Thanks for pointing that out! Pine needles can be a great mulch option, especially for acid-loving plants. We focused on other types of mulch for this video but appreciate the suggestion. Have you had good results with pine needles in your garden?

I have lots of pine needles. What would you call “acid loving plants”

Thank you for your question! They can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but outdoors is generally better. They need about 3-5 hours of direct sunlight daily. Indoor conditions can lead to mold and fungus issues due to poor air circulation. If growing indoors, place them near a sunny window and ensure good air flow.

Thank you 💚

Thanks 💚

Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you found the video helpful. Best of luck with your new plants 💚🪴

Thank you 💚

As mentioned in the video, keep the microgreens in the dark for about 5-6 days until you see the leafy part start to emerge. After that, you can move them into the light. Good luck! 💚

Good luck 🍅

Thank you for your question! In the video, I only used water, but for optimal growth, microgreens need a hydroponic nutrient solution. This solution provides essential minerals and nutrients, like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are important for healthy plant development.

Thank you 💚

You can use smaller containers too. Just make sure each beet has at least a 3-gallon pot to grow well. Good luck 💚

Thanks for your comment! Yes, smaller seeds like pak choi, broccoli, and kale can be tricky. Ensuring good airflow and proper light can help prevent them from getting twisted. Experimenting with different methods and trays is a great idea. Good luck 💚

Thank you for your comment! We use filtered water to spray them. It's important to ensure the water is clean to avoid any contamination. you can also use tap water if it's safe for drinking. Avoid water with high chlorine or mineral content, as it might affect microgreen growth. If tap water is your only option, let it sit for 24 hours to allow chlorine to dissipate. The nutrients needed for their early growth come from the seeds themselves. While some people use nutrient water to provide extra nourishment, it’s not necessary for the initial growth stages.

That’s crazy! So are they really as nutritious as fully grown vegetables that have taken up minerals from the soil through their roots?

Thanks for watching and for the fun observation! I can totally hear the music saying "Lay out some ground to grow" now that you mention it 😄

A good potting mix for tomatoes should be well-draining but also moisture retentive. A mix containing ingredients like peat moss or coco peat, compost, perlite or vermiculite meets this need.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing 💚

Don't you have to Put Root grow

If you want to but I don't used root grow

Yes, most microgreen seeds can be grown with this method, though some may perform better than others. Experiment to see which ones you like best!

i see. thanks for ur reply🤗

Thank you for your comment! I'm sorry to hear about your basil plant. I hope my method helps you get better results. Feel free to ask if you have any questions along the way. Happy gardening 💚

@@DinasGarden I will and thank you.🙂

Thanks for sharing your experience! The bunny ears cactus does have tiny bristles called glochids, which can be very irritating if they get into your skin. That's why I recommend wearing gloves when handling them for added protection. Happy gardening 💚

Thanks for the catch! Don't worry, we've since upgraded our tools-no more rusty cutters here 😁

Yes, you can prune the suckers after they’ve grown, but it's best to do it when they're small to avoid stressing the plant. Happy gardening 💚

Thanks for your comment! Snipping off the top leaves encourages a bushier growth but doesn’t turn the avocado into a true dwarf tree. It helps the plant become more compact and promotes a fuller shape. I'm glad you're enjoying the process-happy growing 💚

I found your vidio helpful thnk you for sharing ❤
