How To
Grow Microgreens

What You'll Need

  • Cut down 1 litre yoghurt containers or butter/margarine containers with holes drilled in the bottom for drainage

  • Lids of containers to use as drip trays

  • Seed raising mix or potting mix

  • Microgreen seeds

  • Water

Instructions

  1. Fill containers to near the top with seed raising mix or potting mix

  2. Sprinkle the seeds thickly over the soil

  3. Put a little more soil on top to “hide the seeds”

  4. Water to dampen the soil

  5. After sowing seeds, place in a warm light place - a windowsill works well. 

  6. Keep the soil damp and they should sprout in about 3-5 days depending on the type of seed. 

  7. Sprouts will be ready to use in about 10 days – 2 weeks from sowing.

  8. Snip sprouts off just above soil level

  9. Keep watering and you may get a second harvest (won’t be as many as the first harvest)
