How to Grow Microgreens

February 18, 2020

Have you ever wanted to try this? Turnip, corn, chive, sunflower, broccoli, radish, this list of seed choices goes on and on.  It's a great way to get in some anti-oxidant super greens and they can be used in so many different ways.

Click the video tutorial below for a step-by-step guide from start to finish plus related posts of how we use them!

~ EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES ~

Tools & Materials:

  • Tidy Tote
  • Growing Medium (potting mix, germination mix)
  • Microgreen Trays no holes (more economical but not as sturdy)
  • Microgreen Trays (a bit more money but more sturdy)
  • Germination dome (lids)
  • Watering can with showerhead 
  • Seedling germination mat (warming mat)
  • Grow Lights:  We use Gardners.com but would encourage you to google economical grow light options, including LED.

Seed sources:

  • True Leaf
