Microgreens are very convenient to grow, as they can be grown in a variety of locations, including outdoors, in greenhouses and even on your windowsill.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Good-quality seeds.
A good growing medium, such as a container filled with potting soil or homemade compost. Alternatively, you can use a single-use growing mat specifically designed for growing microgreens.
Proper lighting — either sunlight or ultraviolet lighting, ideally for 12–16 hours per day.
Instructions:
Fill your container with soil, making sure you don’t over-compress it, and water lightly.
Sprinkle the seed of your choice on top of the soil as evenly as possible.
Lightly mist your seeds with water and cover your container with a plastic lid.
Check on your tray daily and mist water as needed to keep the seeds moist.
A couple of days after the seeds have germinated, you may remove the plastic lid to expose them to light.
Water once a day while your microgreens grow and gain color.
After 7–10 days, your microgreens should be ready to harvest.
