Have you considered using red composting worms to eat the clipped beds of roots & stems? They would turn these into black gold aka, worm castings which you would in turn use to grow more healthy greens in. Eventually you would have more worms than you could feed so then sell the worms as fishing bait. It's a win, win for you.
@MicrogreensFarmer7 жыл бұрын
Yeah, might get worms going again soon. Also, I think chickens will love the leftovers - we are adding them to our farm this year.

Hi, I am an absolute beginner. When you say doing 2 cycles a week on the same shelf, does that mean you leave them in germination for 3.5 days and under lights only 3.5 days? In most other articles and videos I see 3-4 days of germination and 6-7 days under the lights. That wouldn't allow for 2 cycles on the same shelf per week. So I am confused. Thanks for clarifying anyone.
