John this is for Dave... God bless you. Your efforts paid off, it is amazing how you cured yourself... I used to do sprouts and felt great. I just started to soak Broccoli and Alfalfa seeds, I have many seeds ready...You have inspired me to do it again. My favorites are lentil sprouts. I have lots of in home veggies growing. Thank you for sharing your success.

[@truthseeker4504]

Thank you is not enough John!! You're such a blessing. Dave you're a walking miracle!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your story!! Amazing videos guys. Im literally in tears because I'm so grateful. My dad survived cancer and this will help him with nutrients for his juices. 💙💙💙

[@andronikewells5210]

I too am a cancer survivor and am truly interested. I’m learning soo much. 🙏🏽 I have learned so much from John’s videos. Thanks🌻

[@middle-agedmacdonald2965]

Thanks John, and thank you Dave as well! This channel, its owner, and it's content are a never ending supply of information. I've recommended it to dozens of people, and that's coming from a hermit! Please keep it up, and know that YOU have inspired me to start my own garden (of which I had no prior experience), start a small fruit tree orchard (again no experience), and now as of two weeks ago I have two trays of microgreens (one tray of sunflowers that have their third/fourth leaves coming in, and a tray of pea sprouts looking great). Again, thanks to both of you, and please keep teaching us! There's so much to learn still, and so much more I want to see!

Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens ... hey John you're not getting as many views on your videos as you used to.

John, thank you thank you thank you!!!! For making this video!!!! I feel like I was meant to view this particular video this morning. It really speaks to me. I have a family member who has been told by a doctor that he may have prostate cancer. I will definitely share this video with him. Such a blessing to hear the testimonial of your guest and what a testimony! He cured himself!! Fantastic!!!! Thank you guys so much for the video!!!! ❤️

John, I have been binge watching your early on YT vids. I have to say you look fantastic, and you actually look younger today than you did in the beginning. A true testament to eating well. I have seen so many people that look like crap (Unhealthy looking) trying to convince me to join them in their regimen. Thank you for your channel and your hard work.

[@jcmagee8773]

Hey John, I watched this video yesterday on my smart tv. I can't comment from there. This video really impressed me, I've been doing a few micro greens. I've recently had a couple of failures. This video has encouraged me to keep it up. I live in a small upstairs apartment. But, I have tons of house plants. I've had a lot of success with them. Thank you and Gil for inspiring me. I am going to buy a juicer and include fresh veggie juice in my daily diet. Thank you. I can tell you are very passionate about what you do. Julia M.

I had some chinese broccoli go to seed and I don't like the grown plant but now I'm going to sprout most of the seeds and just plant a few to get more seeds so as to repeat the cycle in the future. Your videos are always super informative and you have an awesome upbeat vibe whilst being down-to-earth with your viewers. Keep it up!

Excellent Tutorial, John!!

[@jovoorheescollinsmphbsnbch6245]

Thank you for pointing out that sprout specific seeds are better because they're tested for contamination 💯 And also about soaking the seeds overnight first 💯 I didn't speak my seeds on my first run, but next time I certainly will do this 💯

It may take time but with more energy you will have much much more! Going to start! Wanted to awhile! Thanks John keep on!

[@cityhydro8761]

AWESOME WELL DONE...

[@GraeMatterz]

John, Thanks for being such an inspiration. You've been a great help with the information you share and now I'm in the process of modifying my postage stamp sized backyard to grow (in the Back to Eden method) and may be able to plant a small area next year if things work right. (I'm currently in the middle of remodeling my house so priorities are focused mostly on that project finishing up.) In the meantime, I've decided to build shelves for growing in a huge bay window in my kitchen. So this video is very timely! Similar to the window you feature, mine doesn't get a lot of sun. But it faces NE so I figured it would be great for lettuces and cut-and-come-again veggies, and now it looks like it might for greens as well. Maybe you could give me some input on the configuration of the shelves. I'm planning on putting them across the center window of the big bay window. The shelves would be about 38" long and about 9" deep, covering a window that is about 70" tall (the top shelf will be under the ceiling of the bay window so would need the same headspace). What would be the optimum spacing between the shelves? I know different plants will require different heights, so I'm working on a way to make them adjustable. But figuring out the optimum average height will help me figure out how many shelves I should build (IKEA hack, actually). I'm thinking 4 shelves spaced about 14" apart will be optimum for this opening while also allow the growing of some cat grass on the floor beneath the shelves so (hopefully) they will leave the other greens alone. LOL Any input would be appreciated. Thanks again! Love the channel!

[@anonymousentity6906]

Thank you for all of your informational videos! I am new to growing microgreens in my home in cold northern Idaho. My question is how to you catch the water drainage from the trays with holes in your soil wheatgrass trays? I really want to use soil for my microgreens but have not seen a video of how to catch the water. I have a laminate floor in my dining room where the rack will be located. Do you put a solid tray under the tray with holes or do you let the water drip on the rack and catch it on the bottom? Thanks again for all of your videos!

[@BaseballDiamondJim]

Thanks Dave!!!

This has encouraged me to try sprouting seeds again. I’m 65 and I’ve tried sprouting a few times in my life and have failed every time I’ve tried it. Last time I bought a sprouting kit with soy seeds from a health food store. As usual, the seeds would start to smell and rot instead of sprouting. I followed the instructions, but not working for me.

[@boboscurse4130]

How do you re-use the spent soil? Do you let the roots compost or do you re-use it right away?

[@marcogarcia3064]

John, I live near Reno @ 4800' elev. I don't know if it's my refrigerator or what, but it seems that my greens go bad too quick. I am sick of wasting money.. I just got in touch with Larry to get a set-up kit; I have an east facing window (4x3) or so, and want to start small scale to grow my own greens. If successful, I will upgrade. I have 80 acres in NE NV (virgin land) that I plan to put a cabin, and start my own farm.

Hi John. I just posted a video growing MicroGreens from wild edible plants. What do you think? Considering wild edibles already have a considerably high nutrient content, could these microgreens benefits be exponential compared to domesticated varieties? Ps, Always enjoy the great information you share on urban farming, thanks for posting!

[@davidulrich7112]

First...thought (different from your speaking about a raised bed, John) is what a BEAUTIFUL set-up for growing upon those...WALL (outisde) where there wall's colors--let shine through--would become highlighted by something of a wall...garden? Obviously--judging by their tastes expressed there--something of a "designer" task! But, WOW what an opportunity upon a surface...boring, otherwise? Indeed, a certral grow "pond": planters here and there, too? A "work-in-progress", maybe...?
