Microgreens are an easy way to start growing things if you have a hankering for gardening but don’t have enough space, time, or maybe even you think you don’t have a green thumb.
Here is a step-by-step guide to get micros on your plate in 7-10 days.
Things you will need:
Grow tray
Water tray
Soil
Seeds
Brick or something heavy
Water sprayer
Window sill or table near a window
How to make it happen:
Pour enough water in your soil to make it wet but not soaking, this will do two things, it iwll make it easier to work with but also start the seeds off with all the water they will need for the next 4 days.
Fill the soil tray with soil to be flat with the edge of the tray.
3. Sprinkle the seeds evenly over the top of the soil.
4. Cover with the water tray. Place a brick on top and place in a dark place for 4 days.
5. After 4 days, take the greens out of the dark place and put them in a place that gets plenty of sunlight. They will look sort of yellow and crazy at first but by the end of the day they will look green and happy. You can underwater and or spray the plants daily. Depending on your sun exposure placement and the amount of greens you are growing you need to balance how often and how much you water. At least once a day if not twice a day typically.
6. Keep watering and watching them over the course of the next 3-5 days. You can start harvesting them around day 7-10 and they will keep growing and be good to eat until around day 14-18in my experience.
