At dinner last Friday with my sister-in-law Lisa, she pointed at the arugula garnish on her salad and asked how to grow microgreens at home. Broccoli and radish germinate in 1 to 2 days and are ready to cut in 5 to 7 days.
Growing microgreens in sand involves planting the seeds in a sand medium, providing adequate water and light. This method is beneficial as sand has excellent drainage, prevents overwatering, and is easily accessible and affordable.
Growing microgreens without soil allows you to utilize alternative mediums such as hydroponics, biodegradable mats, coconut coir, vermiculite, and perlite methods. These approaches allow for better control over moisture levels, pH balance, and nutrient intake, resulting in faster growth and higher yields. Moreover, the absence of soil makes for a cleaner and more efficient way to cultivate microgreens.
