How To Grow Microgreens COMPLETE Guide: Setup, Soil vs Hydroponic and Without Soil plus Recipes

[@peterbrown2882]

Where would one buy those grow mats that you mentioned ? My search results have all ended with heat mats, and nothing about grow mats. What kind of material are we talking about ?

[@stephanyc5795]

He’s aiming to sell a product. I’m sure using soil is fine.

[@MAKM-Nails]

This video is so good! I don’t know why it’s not got more views because it deserves it

[@madeleineoneill995]

This is just what I was looking for! Great resource, so succinct but helpful- can’t wait to get growin 🌱

[@Junzar56]

Micro greens are a blast! I love using them in omelets just before you fold them, and with a bunch in top. Yum! Having a dinner party with soup and salad - having a row micro greens on a lazy Susan at the table and a scissor as part of the silverware so people can cut their own is a great way to introduce folks to micro greens!

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

That's a great idea! Love to hear you're spreading the microgreens goodness!

[@sherryo8432]

Thank you! I was so overwhelmed before I watched this video. I now feel confident that I can grow microgreens and shoots.

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Glad to hear it! Let us know if you have any questions as you get started :)

[@hannahschillinger7926]

I love spicy radish micro greens!!! Can’t wait to grow and eat them yum

[@sarahnusbaum2598]

A hot plant scientist? This video rocks!

[@lindahill5659]

Curious, can you reuse the grow mats?

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Also wondering

[@terarowley6129]

Good video! I love the editing & I love the information & how actually grew the greens & showed us

[@afshirinzadeh5682]

Awesome video. Very informational. Thank you. Just getting started.

[@SubmarinrJoe]

Great video! Don't know how many times I've thrown out germination experiments when I've seen that "mold" LOL Now I know better

[@lukeinkson]

Great video, thanks 😄clear, concise and well presented! I noticed you put the seeds directly into the sun, while I have seen other people starting the seeds in complete darkness (ie. a tray with seeds and another tray stacked inside to simulate the weight of soil and lack of light underground) for 3 or 4 days, the idea being the sprouts start off stronger and begin to lift the tray on top of them. Then you take it off and give full sunlight and they explode. Have you experimented with that method to compare to full sunlight from the start?

[@mom2aidanemma]

How often do you have to change the jute mat?

[@GardenDiaries1]

This is very informative!!! Thanks guys

[@pd6569]

What a fantastic instructional with best practices. Thank you. Though I have never used jute, I will certainly give it a shot.

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

let us know how it goes!

[@tracydegroat6345]

Thank you for this video! Does anyone else use these for their dogs digestive issues

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

we don't have a pup, but would definitely recommend you do some research about suitability for pets. Their digestive systems do work quite differently to ours!

[@BushaBurgerBurito]

You have just pushed me to try and produce microgreens. My wife and i have 3 kids and expecting fourth, and we all love this, can you tell me can we use our own compost, that we produce, or should we buy some purified one. Thanks again for this video!

[@user-cs1xz]

wow beautifully done video and SO informative. tysm for the effort and passion that went into this video

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

thanks! glad you found it useful. Let us know if you have any questions. Also, we've added several new microgreens kit to our store recently, so we have even more options to choose from! www.geturbanleaf.com/collections/microgreens

[@user-cs1xz]

@@GetUrbanLeaf tysm!! the hamana kit is so genius congrats to you all on it!!

[@patticriss2238]

I was seeing other gardeners talk about growing micro greens as fertilizer for their larger gardens. Haven’t seen much in way of results or updates yet, but it’s a very interesting idea.

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Hmmm, as in using microgreens as a cover crop? Or growing microgreens to then use as a sort of dressing for the garden?

[@patticriss2238]

@@GetUrbanLeaf as In using them as a fertilizer or a liquid fertilizer. They put them in a blender with water and make a slurry or a watery pour on. Whichever you want. It makes sense but I didn’t know if it had any validity.

[@elsakitty8690]

Excellent and dreamy! TY!

[@sun.3192]

Thanks this is so helpful

[@dephnny]

Do you not need to change water at least once a day?

[@rjwije4874]

where can I get your recommended grow mats at please...Thanks

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

good morning! You can find them here: www.geturbanleaf.com/products/microgreens-growing-kit?variant=46115959603413

[@shwetadev8141]

You have really very organised video..and with all information.specially your description box.

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@joyceedwards9652]

I have coconut core, is that ok??

[@mariawiley356]

Can you reuse the mat to grow the micro greens on (the one you liked)?

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

We do see some people re-use them yes, but for hygene reasons we recommend using new ones. They're relatively affordable, 100% plant based, and compostable so tossing them causes far less damage than the alternatives

[@Beartriple7]

Where can I find the video or info on when you compared the different grow matts, thank you.

[@michelesowellwce7450]

Where do you get yours seeds? You showed a large variety!

[@Rubies05]

Would love to know the best brands?

[@shorea27]

How importang is it to weigh down the seeds after sowing? Are there microgreems that *require* this?

[@sbrantley100]

Where did you get those containers?

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

these are the trays from our own microgreens kit which we sell online.

[@kevinjpilcher]

Hey thanks for the video. Why do you choose jute over hemp? And do you need to spray them with nutrient water or add nutrients to the water since using grow pads?

[@mamimudra]

Where did you buy that stick on shelf that you attached to the window?

[@snarkfinder2621]

This channel is from on online retailer. They sell the shelf in a kit with three of the grow trays. Search in shop at the URL in the description below the video.

[@EricPollarrd]

Does the re growth by cutting above the first leaf set work for all different plants ?

[@AiKong]

Does growing in soil provide more nutrients since it’s pulling the nutrients from soil?

[@JoRoBoYo]

does it grow forever?

[@giovannifilippone6173]

what do you do with the stems after harvest? can they be re grown?

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

some can be grown a bit more, but generally after harvest you just replant and 7-10 days later you'll have more. The reason we use separate small trays is so you can have a staggered start and therefore a constant and rotating supply.

[@CO-OPNEWS-wn9us]

I just started growing

[@tongvang724]

Can you just grow them on water trays without soil?

[@cheesypup2623]

Yup

[@joshcoxmusic]

Amazing video

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@divz2646]

You didn't gave the blackout period for grow mats microgreen

[@Toad92873]

What brand of grow mat ??

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

We offer our own grow mats - they're made from plant based jute fibre.

[@norzink8647]

How can i purchase just the container its growing in?

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Hi Norzin, shoot us an email to [e-mail] and we can sort you out! We don't currently have them listed as a stand-alone item on our store.

[@michelefranco2075]

Where can you buy the trays

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Hi Michele, you can get the complete kit right here! www.geturbanleaf.com/products/microgreens-growing-kit If you just want the trays please shoot us an email to [e-mail] and we can help with that too

[@michelefranco2075]

Just wondering how often do you water them and do you always take the lid off at day 3

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

it does vary based on seed type, but it will be pretty obvious when they need to be removed.

[@darlenestuart9900]

Do you start with full light?

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

You don't have to, since new seeds generally appreciate a few days of not-full light while they germinate.

[@meenulechuscreations.....1547]

Can we grow them outdoor? Outside in heavy rains?

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Likely no, since they're very fragile and would either be damaged or flooded out of the grow media.

[@breeandstina]

Came here for the microgreens, stayed for the hottie in the glasses! Wow #ishesingle?

[@27kjh]

Most videos I’ve watched say keep the seeds in the dark and put the Micro Greens in the light after they’ve started to grow…about the fourth day. I’m wondering why you don’t do that?

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Both methods work, but we've found that the cover/dome method (to trap humidity) has a broader application hence we opted for this approach with our kit. Happy growing!

[@Amandahugginkizz]

I dodnt see beets those are my favs

[@AlexRodriguez-gb9ez]

I hope robotics gets better, so they can automatically harvest microgreens, seaweed, and fungi. I wonder if you can harvest tiny sea proto-animals for protein.

[@EricPollarrd]

Aren’t these all growable with no medium all? Obv the less materials required the better

[@PG-cj3kx]

Bryce mitchell is that you

[@NotHaunted...]

Ueah but who to sell to?

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Fair question! but this is not really our specialty I'm afraid. We (Urban Leaf) only focus on gardening for at-home growers (i.e. personal use).

[@mskuttinupwhitney3540]

🥂

[@danielburval5899]

Nice video, but are you psychopath ? You aint blinking 😁

[@pd6569]

Do you ever cook the microgreens? Maybe you loose the nutrition?

[@GetUrbanLeaf]

Most people do not cook them because they lose some of that signature fresh microgreens flavor. Also when reduced down by heat you'd end up with micro-microgreens, similarly to how spinach or other leafy greens lose a lot of volume when cooked.

[@JWHealing]

For cooked mini greens I'd suggest mung bean sprouts. They are more substantial so are nice lightly cooked, say in a noodle dish with lots of veggies, garlic etc.

[@brentsmith8552]

Jesus, did you water that soil with your garden hose in a hurricane lol ..gentle my man, "damp" not "wet"
