Beginners Guide to Growing Microgreens

[@cookie8260]

I grew micro greens by mistake. Chia seeds are always in my drinks and shakes. Lost track of one of my bottles in the car and it grew sprouts within 48 hours. It intrigued me and thought I’d try growing them myself. Thanks for the video.

[@kaycee625]

That’s interesting. Did they grow into micro greens? And did you eat them?

[@deehermione943]

I did the same thing with fenugreek seeds! I soak them and drink the water. I left my bottle with the soaked seeds on my desk came back to a bottle full of sprouts. That's what started my microgreens adventures

[@B01]

You should keep going back to that place where you got the chia seeds, likely super organic if they sprouted!

[@squigglymunchkinmechanic]

😂that's funny

[@lyndawright2234]

Nice, simple and straight forward. Easy on the eye and ear. No irritating music or endless unnecessary ramblings.

[@chafester4886]

This video by far is the best on KZbin to show how to grow micro greens. No excessive talking but just the facts. Thanks so much and God bless.

[@thehydroponicsguy2379]

thank you for your kind words.

[@dadinggo]

Thank God a straightforward video less than 10 minutes, God bless you sir.

[@stephanie6537]

Thank you SO much for the straightforward, no non-sense explanations. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@rashidiigraffiti]

great presentation from a gentle but hands on modern farmer

[@ellenj8896]

Great vid! I use soil, but I like the idea of the jute pads much better. For those who have pets that like to eat greens, you can grow special microgreens for them, too. Wheatgrass, clover, whatever. Also, after you grow a crop, and if you want a small section to put in a pet cage, you can cut a square of it out and place that square containing the jute pad and greens, into a small plastic, flat bottomed dish. Keep it hydrated and your pets will enjoy nibbling on it. Pet birds, guinea pigs, mice, rats, rabbits, cats, etc, can all enjoy microgreens.

[@oscarstenberg2745]

For oeas you don't even need the mats! Water is enough, just make sure the bottom is completely covered by the peas

[@shelleyn.8503]

If you harvest them by cutting, does it continue to grow? Thinking about growing chia for my cats.

[@patticriss2238]

I just asked my vet if he thought I could give them to my horses. He’s looking into it to be sure. Intriguing.

[@B01]

Yeah cats are carnivores, but I'm sure some catnip would be worthwhile for em though!

[@naum900]

Wouldn't the nutrition value be higher growing in soil than jute pads?

Love to grow microgreens. I used to grow them in soil but now i also do hydroponics and paper towel method

[@cookie8260]

@@EarthyandYogi Do bits of paper towel get stuck in the roots? If so, I’d think maybe those blue shop towels might work well. Don’t want to be munching on paper. 🙃

[@EarthyandYogi]

@@cookie8260 hey the roots are totally entangled in the tissues. So i cut the greens with scissors just above the tissues.. But i totally recommend growing them in soil. Its fast, i think it's so much more nutritious than water or tissue method..

[@justinrogers68]

I watched a bunch of these microgreen videos and this is definitely the best one and very easy to listen to. Great video!

Microgreens and sprouts are TOTALLY the easiest way to start small and indoors. I have some videos on my channel that I'm sure will help you!

[@finnmacwoof2138]

it would get expensive if you have to replace the jute matt each time you need to grow a fresh batch of microgreens. I do love the idea of growing them thou.

You have a great way of conveying info. AND your method is much less complex and demanding than others. Bless you. The jute mats are new to me - so interesting. Searching showed me that jute is grown without pesticides ... so now I'm really sold. :-) My only "complaint" --- add links in description below video so we can find what you have just shown us. (I had to google the name of your channel to find your site.) Thank you for this really helpful video. I hope you'll make more for growing food of all kinds - micro, baby green, full grow container plants.

Earthy and Yogi I’m trying my hand at passive hydroponics, do you have a favorite method of the 3 you mentioned? I have grow lights and a hydroponic set up that was given to me. I’m a farmer but new to hydroponics.

[@EarthyandYogi]

@@Just-Nikki hello hydroponics is very tricky. But i recommend trying pea shoots, green gram, fenugreek and black eyed peas. These grow very well in water. Though I've also heard spinach and lettuce does well but never tried it. Plz check out my instagram and check highlights on gardening. It has a few pictures i posted on growing microgreens.

[@AliIvu]

Hello, I am a farmer from Poland, which is the center of Europe. I was very interested in your videos on the cultivation of microleres and plant sprouts. You are doing a great job. I would like to try such projects myself, hence my few questions. Please answer if it's not a problem, I want to dispel my doubts, thank you in advance. 1. I have 1500 m2 of plastic tunnels outside, are they suitable for cultivation? - we mainly grow cabbage seeds here for later planting in the field. 2. What is the process from sowing to harvesting sprouts / microleels? - if you have a movie and I skipped it, I would like to watch it. 3. Do you spread the seeds on peat soil or do you have a different substrate? 4. How much time should the seed be in the dark, and when should it be exposed to the sun/lamps? 5. What kind of lighting lamps do you use? and at what distances? 6. Are the sprouts/microflora sprinkled with water from the top or is it enough to drip from the bottom not to waste water? 7. What prices should be faced. I know that electricity, water, and seeds have to be paid for, but what do they look like? Let's say you earn $ 100 - how much should you spend to get this amount. That's all I want to know. I will be very grateful if I get the answers. This is a very interesting topic, hence I would like to learn from experienced people. Best regards, do your job! :) Tracz Jaroslaw [e-mail]

[@grandma_1887]

Thank you so much for your complete instructions and explanation about how to grow it , take care of it , harvest it and keep it. And I’ve asked people if it was crunchy or not because I didn’t wanna mess with growing it if it was soggy. So thank you for that answer actually you answered all my questions. Thank you for that.

Could you dehydrate them & put into foods shakes or capsules

[@pragmaticfitness9151]

Question, when you cut the plants to eat or store what then happens to the remaining part of the plant? Do you have to sow all over again or you let the plant grow again and harvest once more?

[@liverbird46]

You discard the parts of the plants underneath the mats and have to sow new seeds. You could actually plant some out and grow on to be full grown plants but for microgreens you need to keep sowing seeds and growing for 10-14 days.

Is the dome necessary? Thanks so much

Our jute mats are designed to be used once and then discarded. The roots penetrate the mats and are hard to remove.

[@Thisisit120]

I enjoyed your video very much very plain simple and very well explained. But I do have a question I’ve watched other videos on growing micro greens, and some of them put a weight on top of them until they germinate what is the purpose of that?

[@rosedragon108]

i want to do this with wheat grass [and blend] for the cats. they love it, my local safeway used to have it, but moved ... so far keep failing - needs to be deep so not easy to pull out by furry nibblers and heavy enough to not tip over... not sure if should be hydroponic or soil?

[@jassemraouam9018]

great doing sir informative vedeo

[@katekurtz6788]

Nice video! I have some questions I hope you will answer. Can I use previously purchased Chanvra Hemp pads (cut to size) in place of the Jute pads? Can arugula sprouting seeds be grown this way? I've been trying to learn about the amount of seeds per tray and ended up confused. Is it necessary to weigh the seeds per size of container or can we simply sprinkle each type/size of seed equally to somewhat cover the pad? I know your video shows you gently covering the pad with seeds, I just want to make sure we can do the same with any type/size of seed. Last question, can we grow two different type of seeds (in 1/2 sections-not mixed) on one pad? Like you, I store my dry harvested jar sprouts in a container with paper towel on top and bottom, sometimes I need to change paper towels out since they can get moist. My harvested jar sprouts have stayed fresh in the fridge for over a week. Glad you mentioned to wash the microgreens as we take them out of the fridge. Thank you for such a warm, friendly and educational video.

I'm way ready to start growing my own greens after watching this video. Let's eat healthy let's be green!
