[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

Thank you. Soil covered for the win

[@luccapampe4564]

Do you guys plant Yellow popcorn and if could you make a video about them. Would be really cool

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

We do and we will be doing a video on it.

[@thecolorbetweenthelines]

Question on watering on the bulls blood .

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

what is your question?

[@JoeMAX30]

Hi. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. How much 1 tray of beets produce? That clamshell is 10oz capacity?

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

The clam is an 8OZ capacity. COGS $4.50

[@lilymass1961]

Do you do the same technique for chard? How much zerotol do you use in your mister. We have a 2 gallon mister

[@santiagorivas7617]

This should be nice to know,!

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

Yes we follow the same Protocol for Chard, Golden Beets and Red Beets. but our seed density for those crops is 30G instead of 35G as the seeds are larger

[@bearfootessentials]

Amerzing ... I have a question ? 5 days - in dark, 13 days - under sunlight ? All together its 17 days of journey .. then wht about 26 days ? Pls let me know it

[@vijaypalanisami]

Great job 🎉 Im from india , I have a setup these micro greens in india. Is there possible for fram to grown in Indian temp ?

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

Yes. I’d advise an indoor growing operation. That way you have full control of your growing environment year round regardless of the outdoor temps. Happy growing.

[@evelynacostajerez765]

Yes I have a question about the water during the entire process, I am having problems with over water

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

We will do a follow up on our watering procedures. It varies on your climate and grow space temp and humidity.

[@jeramypeoples8828]

Great info, but you didn’t talk to anything about the watering cycle at all?????

[@Cas_thibeau]

Water cycle is a whole video on its own. Also we can show everyone but you really have to give it a go! It’s all about feel & practice 😊

[@LivingWithCTE]

May i ask what you typically charge restaurants for either 4 or 8 oz of beets?

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

Hey there our prices range on our wholesale and retail clients but ranges from $23-$32

[@LivingWithCTE]

@@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm thanks for replying and thank you for your videos they are very helpful

[@lukegoforth7151]

When you date your boxes do you do the date you package it or when the microgreens should be used by?

[@Cas_thibeau]

We date a “harvest date” the micros could last anywhere from 7-14 days depending on how they are handled so that varies quite a bit and would be hard to put a date on 😊

[@garethbunce294]

Watering? Frequency and qty? I understand qty will vary greatly, maybe compare to crop, Very low water like amaranth? Med water like broccoli High water like peas? Thanks those look amazing 👏

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

Hey Gareth. We will do a follow up and a video on watering schedules for all our different crop varieties. We have moved a lot of our grow to a flood and drain Pallet rack system, however i do see the importance of showing you watering habits as its crucial to the success of this crop. Stay tuned and we will do detailed watering video. Thanks for supporting the channel we appreciate you.

[@garethbunce294]

@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm awesome thanks

[@joshuaguess6736]

Have you had success with amaranth and beets in the flood and drain? I use pallet racks too. Been nervous to grow amaranth that way.

[@JdotAdotH]

How many MLs/gallon of water for the zerotol?

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

We use a 2 gallon spray bottle, 1.8 oz of zerotol to every 2 gallons. You can do a stronger mix and bump it up to 2 oz if you need to. We are having soil issues at the moment and dealing with lots of pathogen issues in the soil so we bumped it up a little.

[@JdotAdotH]

Thank you, I saw you guys were having issues with aphids in another one of your videos. I would reccommend looking in to koppert. They sell a variety of beneficials insects that will help manage pest pressure ( aphids, thrips, spider mites etc) if you want to stay away from sprays.

[@billbarnes5137]

+1 the previous comment. Also would like to know about watering. Show us, at least once or twice.

[@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm]

Thanks for your feedback. We will follow up with a watering video across the board for crop varieties. Happy Growing.
