@@dfi63 he mentioned that in another video. They can continue to grow but they get woody and not good as microgreens but you could plant some in the garden.
Little kids may not like “cooked peas” but they love these wonderful sprouts. Thank you for the clear explanation of how to grow these. You’re a good teacher.❤
thanks for this. Today I had to throw 2 trays of peas microgreen due to mildew and mold but I couldn't figure out the problem. Now I know. so thank you for posting this
I've been doing this for years, I think 3 years. I started with lentils, but I eat them with the roots because they are green and not that tasty. I use sprouted lentils in curry. I have known since last year that you can sprout green peas and eat the green peas, but sprouting peas was not easy for me, now that I have seen your video I think it is much easier. Thank you for the tips. a Greetings from the Netherlands
Food dehydrator trays work great for this if you want to try it before buying any equipment ! The fresh vegetables from the garden are all done, time to grow some greens inside ❤
You just saved me a lot of failure. I started growing microgreens because of you and I just got thru failing a sweetpea batch due to mildew.. can't wait to stay tomorrow with this method. Thanks a bunch!
I use the same green trays for my microgreens. I grew alfalfa sprouts for myself and barley sprouts for my chickens. I used the bottom trays that came with the tops and never had a problem with mold. I stacked them on top of each other in the beginning, criss cross wise and when it was time to take them out I would just run my fingers back and forth through the roots and pull the sprouts right out of the top. The chickens loved them. This was a good reminder to start doing them again.
Those seed sticking to cotyledons are called helmet head, though I grow mainly pepper, they are common on irregular/ old/ very dry seed coat. Most of the time when there is soil, the seed remains in the soil while the stalk grow up and cotyledons uses the soil to anchor the seed and push the leaves out. If that doesn't happen, the seed coat gets push out of soil and dry in the air, we use water to wet the seed coat for the cotyledon to have easier time getting rid of the seed coat but it doesn't necessarily succeed. The cotyledons as you have mentioned gets mushy if too long.
Ok so I tried split peas using this method. I had noticeably lower yield than with soil. I have just started a batch of green peas and they are doing really well. Will try the split peas again. I did notice that the pea shoots are more tender when grown without soil. Not woody. ❤️🇨🇦
Question - do you think making trays with stainless steel mesh would work? The reason why I ask is that I am concerned with long term use of plastics. I plan to grow fodder for my hens and sprouts for my rescued dogs and us. I am trying to grow safely and as healthy as possible. I was even wondering if there's some clay or bamboo alternatives for trays and pans....
@user-yv7kw1nr2q he could have just used sawdust or mulch. There's a vid floating around where he glues and mixes sawdust in a plastic pot, throws it in the oven to roast a sawdust pot
Solid video. I need to grow greens again. I always had problems with mildew but this really makes sense: just spray on the roots! Thanks for the tips. 😊
i'd use loofah sponges instead of plastic plates, they are environemtally friendly, disposable, compostable, doesn't produce microplastics, can be planted on the soil eventually.
I bought a Boomer Box for growing mushrooms in the root cellar. It has air circulation and automatic humidity control. It also works well for starting seedlings and I can't wait to try this. We've been growing microgreens in mason jars, and this looks even better.
No need for nutrients if you are only growing them for shoots, the seed has all the nutrients needed for the shoot. If you are growing a full plant you need to add nutrients. Save yourself some money.
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 Exactly and hydroponic nutrients are basically contaminating the natural nutrients with chemicals so its basically putting toxins in your body.
Love the idea of growing without soil that attracts bugs and such. Can we do this tray method with Italian herbs? Those cost a bomb in Singapore for just a sprig or two. Much better to grow them outselves.
Thanks for sharing. I used to do this for cat grass, so I knew it was possible. I’d be cooking up the peas and roots after. Still should be lots of valuable nutrition there. Sprouted legumes and seeds and grains are supposed to be the best for bioavailability/digestibility of nutrients. Without at least soaking and sprouting or cooking they have varying anti-nutrients that are hard to digest/assimilate. (Or proper fermentation).
I have grown pea shoots in similar method using speckled pea for couple of years with great success. However, I just tried using green peas. I found they are more prone to mold. The key is to remove the mushy ones in time during the early stage.
I often wondered about this. Can this technique used for other types of microgreens or just this one? If you're using this technique large scale there is something called adiabatic cooling which is nothing more than fine mist spray nozzles they use to precool air used to cool condensers that would probably do a great job automatically misting your tray roots. Great job on this video.
This is great. My peas always looked kind of manky by the end. This is a really good way of approaching it. So if the peas haven’t gone gross, can they be cooked at that point like any other bean that’s only been sprouted for a day or two? (I sprout my lentils before cooking into soup for digestibility reasons.)
I love your way, better than growing microgreens in potting mix. Doing it your way I don't have to worry about washing soil medium off the microgreens. So few tools needed as well! Black tote, microgreen trays, something to stand them on, spray bottle, water, glad bag. Easy!
Merci pour les astuces, j’ai les mêmes plateaux mais j’avais du moisi surtout avec le blé (pour faire du jus d’herbe), je comprends mieux pourquoi, je vais donc retenter avec le blé pour savoir ça c’est mieux comme ça. Merci 🙏
Do you purchase sprouting seeds specifically or do the bird seed ones sprout as effectively? I've had seed sprout randomly in the bag despite warnings of it being sprayed with inhibitors, the bag did get wet of course, was surprised to read that the flavor is sweet
Could you please try and pull a seedling out of the meshtray and see if it remains intact at all? I am curious whether this might be a way to germinate seedling before transplanting them into hydroponic sponges, for kratky or DWC growing of veggies. Cheers! 🌱
Love this simple idea. I love pea shoots. Basically this can be used for any greens. I eat the roots and everything. What do you do with there roots and leftover tops?
Can we do the same method for other Microgreens also? Is it workable in other types of 10x20" black trays? How regularly spraying water into roots? Daily 3 times? Is it enough? What is the room temp we need to keep to avoid any dryness?
Organic soil is the healthiest medium to grow in. Millions of microorganisms that make nutrients available to plants and inturn to us. It's not conducive to mass production though.
By the way, chickens would love to eat all those left over trimmed roots and shoots, etc
@@cherylwmh6543 Yep, worms too. I grow microgreens this way and put the scraps in my worm bin.
I think we can them as well ...
Hi all from Greece. I have a question. Once you trim off the greens, if you leave them will they regrow? Or is it a once off ?
@@dfi63 he mentioned that in another video. They can continue to grow but they get woody and not good as microgreens but you could plant some in the garden.
@@cherylwmh6543 Thank you. ❤️ I haven't watched any other of his videos, as this was in my feed by chance yesterday 😁
Really solid video with no unnecessary fluff. 👍
Excellent! You can blend these leftover roots with water in a blender to obtain a rooting solution for plant cuttings.
Nice I’m glad you don’t have music in the video. I’m trying this
Little kids may not like “cooked peas” but they love these wonderful sprouts. Thank you for the clear explanation of how to grow these. You’re a good teacher.❤
Nice! They would probably love seeing them grow too!
Can that work with broccoli sprouts? Would spraying roots with H2O + a bit of peroxide?
CressSprouts
Sandwich ,Sso popular inUK,London
Sells like hot scones,at the sandwich bar!
I would use canning rings then less worry on where to position the trays.
Great idea!
Canning rings will rust unfortunately. Found that out the hard way, still trying to remove the rust rings from my countertop 😢
The less plastic involved, the better. The peas will absorb a bunch of the plastic chemicals.

Good luck, hope it helps! You have a cool name.
My experience with pea shoots is that they will grow back once or twice after harvesting. Don't be too quick to "clean up".
You can. The ones that did not germinate as fast will grow. The ones you cut tend to get more woody.
Thank you, didn't know that!
Pea Shoot pesto is awesome. I also like to sautee them and use them to top my steaks, chicken and eggs 🎉
Nice! I will have to try that!
Pea shoot pesto sounds delish!

Stainless steal (often just aluminium or worse) could give off metals, rather use plastic
Bamboo steaming basket would work.

You should experiment - one tray with nutrients one without as I suspect you are wasting money there.

Great demonstration. I usually keep the rest of the sprouts and Juice them with other greens.

Stew the left overs and bar mix or vitamize for soups. I do this with wheat grass juice left overs. Also bar mix dandyline leaves and roots.

This is great for when your seed is fresh. Soil works better with older seeds that might have lots of dead seeds.
