Really clear test 👍🏻
Do you have a european equivalent suggestion for Gaia greens?
I don't have a particular brand, but finding an organic fertilizer that has a large diversity of ingredients with create good biology for the plants to flourish and be the highest quality micros you can grow!
Love it!
Would love to see a 1 year follow up on this video!
Great idea! I'll try to co-ordinate something for the summer
what seeing density do you recommend for a 1020 tray?
4-5 grams depending on your enviroment, soil and lights you are using
hey Boston! ya doing any Neptune's on these bad boy trays....? I am so inspired to take our lil homestead garage to the next level alongside our hens, sourdough, medicinals and more......Thank you for sharing! If ya are not doing Neptune's; WTH cause they are up Harba from ya all. Cold press baby. Cold press mineral rich.
This was great Jonah, looking forward to a very successful 2025!
Thanks Brad! Exciting time to be farming :)
Love your content.❤❤❤
Thank you!!
what equipment would you look to implement in a freeze dried and capsule production? currently have some racks of fresh microgreens i make for myself and would love to turn them into pill form so we dont waste anything
A commercial freeze drier and you can get manual or automatic capsule filling machines (depending on what scale you are looking at)
Would be great to have time stamps for every question. I just came back for question about soil.
If you plant a 14 day growth cycle crop weekly , you get a crop a week , given you need more rack space but pea shoots take 2 weeks
The amount fo time under lights is most important. Pea shoots are 7 days under lights so 5 crops per year vs cilantro or basil which is 10-12 days under ligjhts meaning 26 crops per year
@@microgreensconsulting No not if you plan your planting you will get a crop a week on rotation
Interesting! Mine took a long time to geminate and some didn't. What did geminate is taking forever to get any decent size on it. Does it still need a grow light? Can it be sown outdoors in the winter?
Colder than 60F won't be beneficial so growing outside in most climates in the winter won't be feasible. And yes grow light for sure is needed for a quality sorrel microgreen
How do you price out flowers. I am going edibles flowers now and I have one chef that buys them . I want to sell more .
Flowers are usually priced by count not weight. Sometimes farms use volume but count is the most common way to price them out.
Top Tip , DO NOT listen to youtubers like this guy
hi mate, Sherry here from Australia. i watched all of ur content and love ur work. its only success stories on you tube and makes sense too. my question is did u come across any failed operations, if yes can you tell us the mistakes or wrong doings.
Yes, a lot of farms succumb to burnout. That's a big reason I do consulting for farms. To help them automate and create scalable systems to prevent burnout. It's unfortunately quite common for microgreens farms to shut down after a few years.
How do you deal with and compete with "local" large companies like 80 acres that want to snuff out local small competition by selling more per container for less?
You generally sell to different customer types.As a small grower you likely won't sell to whole foods, but rather smaller mom and pop stores and restaurants. Large farms don't target these customers as they aren't big enough customers for them to be worth the time and effort.
@microgreensconsulting makes sense. Thank you Jonah for the feedback, I appreciate it. I will try not to worry so much about this, and focus more on perfecting my growing routine.
U left way more leaves on the tray with the hemp mats lol
Harvesting before lights on helps as well
Sell the basil live its less of a hassel. They cut when they want
Hes talking about looking at a teaspoon of soil, ive been doing this for a few yrs with jarrariums its mindblowing and opens an entire new world!!!!!@
What do they do with all the roots? He takked about the soil but not the microgreen roots
The roots and soil get removed from the trays together. Then it is composted off site to break down the remaining plants and roots!
Would tou have the japanese brand name for lightning ? I am currently starting my business in France and energy is quite expensive nd we go 220v like japan.
beamtec.co.jp
Hey Jonah, I have two questions about the tray planting setup here. I see the trays being filled with fluffy soil, and they come out with a smooth even seedbed. What mechanism gets the soil so flat for seeding, a press? Also, your seeder needs to be rolled over the trays, right? How is the seeding triggered with the right density with the trays just pushed through? Thanks for this video!
A good soil mixing machine will automatically flatten the soil. They aren't cheap but well worth the investment. For the seeder, this farm attached the drive wheel to the conveyer so as the conveyer spins so does the wheel. Changing the wheel size would change the seeding rate just like rolling it on a table!
what lights would you recommend comparable to these ? amazing setup
I recommend the Barrina 42w Leds that are easily available on Amazon. They do use more power, but electricity is quite cheap in the US/Canada. The link for them is in the description of the video
Great information. Keep it coming.
Awesome episode!!! Subscribed to Itty Bitty Micro Farm channel, always looking forward to gaining more insight. Thanks guys
Amazing, thanks Brad!
Great interview with Mike!!
It was a great episode!! Lots of great tips from Mike
Did you post your super soil recipe? Thank you
It's in our free growing guide you can download on our website :)
Good stuff!! Great interview with one of the best farms out there!! Keep up the awesome work!!
Thank you!!
Thank you, Jonah, for bringing Josh on, He was one of the people who reached out to me early on in my own microgreens business venture, and gave me some sound advice, it's hard to believe it's been months already. I only use his seeds and will most likely continue to do so for as long as I can see in the foreseeable future. I've learned so much from both of you. Thank you.
Awesome, glad to hear we were both able to help on your microgreens journey :)
Great to see Mike on here I’ve been following Itty Bitty for a while now I’ve received some really good advice from both Mike and Jess @ittybittymicrofarm ❤ ✌️
the trays mentioned around 34:10 that are on the pallet racking, i have tried for weeks to find them and still cant find them anywhere. any help on sourcing them? i am in NZ
Its these, but you can cotnatc Botanicare to see if any distributors have them in your region :) indoorfarmer.ca/products/grow-rack-shallow-flood-tray-for-wire-shelving?_pos=2&_sid=50f22b5c9&_ss=r
Really love your content! Have you experimented with different tags? A few adjustments could increase your video reach significantly.
One day ill need that.
Vermiculite- I use 3/4 of a solo cup on small seeds(cilantro) and 1 solo cup with things like beets
Keep sizes as 4oz, 8oz, 16oz which converts to 4oz/113g/.25lb… 8oz/227g/.5lb…. 16oz/454g/1lb
Popular seeds pls...
How do we submit questions for these Q&As? Thank you :)
You can email them over or respond here :)
top notch content - keep on spreading that good knowledge!
Thanks Eddie! Appreciate it :)
You are right. If you dont even have the product, what are you gonna sell?
Listening to these guys nerd out for 5 minutes straight about soil biology absolutely restores some of my faith in humanity. We have such a powerful capacity for discovering and passing down valuable knowledge to the rest of our species and guys like this are taking full advantage of that power
Thank you!! Glad we could help restore your faith in humanity. Lots of good stuff happening in the world :)
Dislike Button:
Hi Jonah, just to let you know that I have contacted Susan 3 times and she has not responded. I have contacted others and also no response. They are completely unprofessional.
Try to expose your products
Too much of talking
Do you need to keep on buying micro green seeds after you grow then harvest them as a starting grower?
Yes, seeds are a normal expense of growing microgreens
Great information, thanks guys
That’s an amazing setup for filling trays. What’s the big grey bin called? I need to duplicate this
Where can i buy seeds and what is the cost for basil seeds 1kg?
There are links in our video description with reliable sources for seeds
