Hi all from Greece. I have a question. Once you trim off the greens, if you leave them will they regrow? Or is it a once off ?

​@@dfi63 he mentioned that in another video. They can continue to grow but they get woody and not good as microgreens but you could plant some in the garden.

Good luck, hope it helps! You have a cool name.

[@EstherVanBuuren-t4h]

I've been doing this for years, I think 3 years. I started with lentils, but I eat them with the roots because they are green and not that tasty. I use sprouted lentils in curry. I have known since last year that you can sprout green peas and eat the green peas, but sprouting peas was not easy for me, now that I have seen your video I think it is much easier. Thank you for the tips. a Greetings from the Netherlands

[@cherylwmh6543]

I would use canning rings then less worry on where to position the trays.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Great idea!

[@Flying_Doodle_Homestead]

Canning rings will rust unfortunately. Found that out the hard way, still trying to remove the rust rings from my countertop 😢

The less plastic involved, the better. The peas will absorb a bunch of the plastic chemicals.

[@annwithaplan9766]

I use the same green trays for my microgreens. I grew alfalfa sprouts for myself and barley sprouts for my chickens. I used the bottom trays that came with the tops and never had a problem with mold. I stacked them on top of each other in the beginning, criss cross wise and when it was time to take them out I would just run my fingers back and forth through the roots and pull the sprouts right out of the top. The chickens loved them. This was a good reminder to start doing them again.

[@terri-youtube]

Awesome method! I've seen a lot of videos on this, and your method is THE BEST! Thanks for sharing.

[@KeepOnGrowin]

Thank you Terri!

[@SuzNews]

My experience with pea shoots is that they will grow back once or twice after harvesting. Don't be too quick to "clean up".

[@KeepOnGrowin]

You can. The ones that did not germinate as fast will grow. The ones you cut tend to get more woody.

[@anniegaddis5240]

Just Awesome Buddy, thanks a lot ...soilfree cultivation.. low cost production

[@ControllerPassAway]

Those seed sticking to cotyledons are called helmet head, though I grow mainly pepper, they are common on irregular/ old/ very dry seed coat. Most of the time when there is soil, the seed remains in the soil while the stalk grow up and cotyledons uses the soil to anchor the seed and push the leaves out. If that doesn't happen, the seed coat gets push out of soil and dry in the air, we use water to wet the seed coat for the cotyledon to have easier time getting rid of the seed coat but it doesn't necessarily succeed. The cotyledons as you have mentioned gets mushy if too long.

[@melodynearlyful]

[@73s_from_AB1TX]

I can't believe that I have never thought of doing it this way. Way to go Mike!

Ok so I tried split peas using this method. I had noticeably lower yield than with soil. I have just started a batch of green peas and they are doing really well. Will try the split peas again. I did notice that the pea shoots are more tender when grown without soil. Not woody. ❤️🇨🇦

You should experiment - one tray with nutrients one without as I suspect you are wasting money there.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

No need for nutrients if you are only growing them for shoots, the seed has all the nutrients needed for the shoot. If you are growing a full plant you need to add nutrients. Save yourself some money.

[@truesight91]

​@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 Exactly and hydroponic nutrients are basically contaminating the natural nutrients with chemicals so its basically putting toxins in your body.

[@NaturesInfiniteWELLth-fo6rs]

Thanks for sharing. I used to do this for cat grass, so I knew it was possible. I’d be cooking up the peas and roots after. Still should be lots of valuable nutrition there. Sprouted legumes and seeds and grains are supposed to be the best for bioavailability/digestibility of nutrients. Without at least soaking and sprouting or cooking they have varying anti-nutrients that are hard to digest/assimilate. (Or proper fermentation).

[@sheilakaur8119]

Love the idea of growing without soil that attracts bugs and such. Can we do this tray method with Italian herbs? Those cost a bomb in Singapore for just a sprig or two. Much better to grow them outselves.

[@MechanicsAndCarpentry369]

I often wondered about this. Can this technique used for other types of microgreens or just this one? If you're using this technique large scale there is something called adiabatic cooling which is nothing more than fine mist spray nozzles they use to precool air used to cool condensers that would probably do a great job automatically misting your tray roots. Great job on this video.

This is great. My peas always looked kind of manky by the end. This is a really good way of approaching it.
