How to Make a Microgreen Growbox Out Of A Used Ramen Container

[@unbakedrecipes2414]

I found your channel from a search on microgreens but Im intrigued and I will be growing produce kratky style. I have already transplanted some I had started as microgreens into kratky buckets with materials I already have at home! Ps. I have been bingewatching your videos for 3 days. So much value here. Thankyou sir!

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Awesome! Nice to meet you! Keep me updated on how things go. Happy gardening. Mike

[@leannekenyoung]

I’m the same as you it’s hard to digest all the information at once so I keep binge watching over and over again too so I can try and keep all the information in my head. It’s sooo straight forward, and he’s so easy to listen to and he’s very convincing that anyone can do it! It’s true anyone can do it, me the person where plants used to come to die but I now use hydroponics and not only am I not killing them anymore they are growing and thriving and it’s AWESOME!!🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@groundhopeunder717]

You’re the man! You are the bees knees! Thank you for sparking my interest with microgreens and growing your own food. I have so much to learn all thanks to your sharing and teachings

[@CD-rt8wj]

I did this with Lettuce, Broccoli, and sunflower!! love this idea, thanks Mike! This country is going to badly need your solutions this year

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Good job!! Yes, hope it helps.

I just started watching U-tube. I had ordered books on the Kratky method.and mentioned it to friends. They said to look it up on U-tube. So, Then I was looking it up and found your channel. It was easy to subscribe to, I love it! I am a senior on a limited budget and want to grow my own food. I did order a Aero garden to grow 3 herbs and then I put a tomato seed in and it did AWESOME! The tomatoes tasted great! SO, I am addicted to your channel now and Binging so many of your video's. In the Green Bay Area bakery's and Grocery stores (with a bakery) near me sell 3 gallon buckets for 1.25! Amazing and I am buying them when I stop in the stores near me. I want to get more into micro greens. Thank you for helping us get more healthy and have fun while doing it. I am grateful to you and your wife for putting these videos on. I even bought a drill and the attachment to drill holes in the bucket. My apartment will look like a plant jungle I hope! Spring is around the corner so then they can go outside. One question is I have many squirrels and rabbits around. Have you had rabbits eating your food? It is outside. I am thinking of keeping an empty bucket of water on the bottom so they don't eat my food. LOL 2 Buckets high should keep them away. God Bless you and thank you for your channel. I appreciate all the trial and error and the dedication you have to helping us grow our own food.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

You have the right idea, raise it up. Some bunnies stand on their hind legs and reach up, crafty little critters, lol.

[@CBsGreenhouseandGarden]

You Sir are the master on these Kratky spouts and micro growing. Awesome job done my friend! Stay safe down there! Oh as for the next live I will have to pass buddy. Thanks for asking me the other night.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Anytime CB😎🖒🌱

[@Sbm800]

Amazing concept!! Thanks Mike .. you are so passionate for this… you inspired me… keep motivating & inspiring👍

[@KODArunner]

Mike, it might be a good idea to make a short video on how to grow in your Downspouts Under Grow Lights, for folks living in snow country.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Thank you Richard. I am getting an area set up now, will be growing and filming really soon.

[@esemmanuel6603]

@@KeepOnGrowin I hope you do some videos because you’re thorough for beginners, explaining LED lights and specific fertilizer; I’m confused, I thought that micro-greens didn’t need light ?! And I’m curious to know what kind of fertilizer you use, and what nutrients you use in the water. Thanks !! ; )

[@GinaBeana_Tootsie]

Great video Mike think I’m gunna try to sprout 🌱 some wheat grass for Tootsie thanks for sharing 👍🏼😊❤️

[@hooahextreme]

Pea microgreens are delicious.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Yes, so good!

[@melanin4267]

So grateful 💜

[@zoelawrence568]

A nail heated over a has stove with some pliers also does the trick

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Cool tip!!

[@luciacindy]

it can be so simple, thank you , great job

[@abbylynn8872]

A hot glue gun tip will melt holes as well. Crafters know this trick.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Thanks!!

Very cool Mike, dig it! 😀

Morning cheers Mike☕👌❤

Good morning Candi!

[@DeniseDW]

I have been watching you for a while and I am trying the hydroponic system and failing. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

What's wrong.

[@hustlesprouts]

No offense but you need more context then that

[@nelsontan8328]

Hi can we put under sun grow microbrew green

[@GrowSomethinwithJeff]

great video Mike, You soak your sunflowers before you plant them too? Thanks!

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Yes, and let them sprout.

[@91PinkA]

Can I use instaed of growing mat a cotton fabric? Thanks for all your work that you put into the channel Greeetings from sunny Gran Canaria😊

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Nice to meet you. Yes, you can use cotton fabric if you are not planning on transplanting them. The roots will get stuck. I have a video coming out soon with an alternative to the grow mats.

[@esemmanuel6603]

I’m confused. So, someone would need sprouting tops for micro greens before you plant it in the plastic tray …. ? How long do they sit in a mason jar for ?

[@KeepOnGrowin]

You don't have to, they just germinate better.

[@BrenHaas]

can you use any pea seeds for this project? THanks for sharing great content here - Bren in Ohio!

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Hey Bren, hope you are doing well. Yes, jist about any work, it is just cheaper if you get them for microgreens. The seed packets usually don't have too many in them.

[@BrenHaas]

@@KeepOnGrowin thank you so much. Wish I could share a photo here with ya. I just replanted a bunch of my microgreens. I keep adding too much water and the soil gets stinky.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

You can always email me or post in my Facebook group. They would love you in there😎🖒🌱

[@opinionatedtatertot815]

Bren, I've grown pea shoots from regular grocery store dried peas from the bean/soup aisle. They grew great!

[@victoriajankowski1197]

I have burlap from the feed store, could I cut that to size as a sprouting mat?

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Yes, i have used burlap before.

[@victoriajankowski1197]

@@KeepOnGrowin Thank you!!! Off to the races, I have field peas from the store I want to grow for micro green!!!

[@KrsitieSimplyBlessed]

Is it still $20 for 2 pack? Thanks for your wonderful videos. Inspiring me to grow greens...

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Yes it is. Thank you for watching and I am glad you are interested in growing!

[@PeteCorp]

Just use weed fabric for the microgreen box.

[@MegaSuperfly92]

When you bottom water the pea shoots (once they are established), do you fill with plain water or nutrient solution? Thanks!

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Half strength nutrients if you let them get large.

[@joyflg1rl]

Is the ramen container that you poked holes in the same height as the ramen container that you set it in? Like is it the exact same container as the container it rests in where you add the water? Or is the inner container a little shorter, so it sits a little bit above the floor of the container it nests in? If so, how much shorter?

[@KeepOnGrowin]

yes, most of them are. A few brands are a little different but they work too.

[@joyflg1rl]

@@KeepOnGrowinThank you! I’ve been trying real hard to figure that one out. Thanks for solving that mystery. And thank you for everything you do. Your channel is so inspiring and it’s a joy to try out these strategies for growing food.

what ramen comes in this size container

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Yakisoba

[@abehorton3716]

Do you add any fertilizer to your water??

[@KeepOnGrowin]

If you only need them to be a few inches tall when you harvest, no I don't. If you want them to go a little longer, I add a little half strength.

[@davefairbrother8924]

what is current price on downspout? With or without holes

[@KeepOnGrowin]

$15 at Home Depot or Lowes

[@designunlimited6215]

Sorry, I may have missed it, but what peas do you use, Mike? I see you soaked them overnight, but I couldn’t see anywhere about where the peas came from in the first place?

[@KeepOnGrowin]

True Leaf Market, link in the description to their site. I used speckled peas.

[@designunlimited6215]

@@KeepOnGrowin .. Sorry, I missed that. 🙄 I may have to search for an equivalent I can find down here in Australia. 👍

[@fravolousfilm]

this is a really nice idea! using what you have and producing less waste :) we love your channel! you're welcome on our platform too!

I get my Ramen in the package form 🤔

It's cheaper that way. These are like a buck, sometimes BOGO.
