I grew micro greens by mistake. Chia seeds are always in my drinks and shakes. Lost track of one of my bottles in the car and it grew sprouts within 48 hours. It intrigued me and thought I’d try growing them myself. Thanks for the video.
I did the same thing with fenugreek seeds! I soak them and drink the water. I left my bottle with the soaked seeds on my desk came back to a bottle full of sprouts. That's what started my microgreens adventures
Thank you so much for your complete instructions and explanation about how to grow it , take care of it , harvest it and keep it. And I’ve asked people if it was crunchy or not because I didn’t wanna mess with growing it if it was soggy. So thank you for that answer actually you answered all my questions. Thank you for that.
Thanks for sharing this great video. After searching all morning I’m glad I’ve found you!! You’ve nailed all the points without any waffle. Subscribed!!
@@EarthyandYogi Do bits of paper towel get stuck in the roots? If so, I’d think maybe those blue shop towels might work well. Don’t want to be munching on paper. 🙃
@@cookie8260 hey the roots are totally entangled in the tissues. So i cut the greens with scissors just above the tissues.. But i totally recommend growing them in soil. Its fast, i think it's so much more nutritious than water or tissue method..
Great vid! I use soil, but I like the idea of the jute pads much better. For those who have pets that like to eat greens, you can grow special microgreens for them, too. Wheatgrass, clover, whatever. Also, after you grow a crop, and if you want a small section to put in a pet cage, you can cut a square of it out and place that square containing the jute pad and greens, into a small plastic, flat bottomed dish. Keep it hydrated and your pets will enjoy nibbling on it. Pet birds, guinea pigs, mice, rats, rabbits, cats, etc, can all enjoy microgreens.
I just got started in gardening, and in microgreens this year (at 40 yrs old). These kinds of videos are what Im looking for. Thanks for the information!!! great video!
Omg i love this - and I've never hardened or planted things - but i subscribed. My dream is to grow my own little garden with fruits and veggies when i get my own place 😍
You have a great way of conveying info. AND your method is much less complex and demanding than others. Bless you. The jute mats are new to me - so interesting. Searching showed me that jute is grown without pesticides ... so now I'm really sold. :-) My only "complaint" --- add links in description below video so we can find what you have just shown us. (I had to google the name of your channel to find your site.) Thank you for this really helpful video. I hope you'll make more for growing food of all kinds - micro, baby green, full grow container plants.
Is there any proof that the nutrients are in a human friendly form? Can we actually use them properly? Looking for solid proof, not theory or opinions.
Hello, I am a farmer from Poland, which is the center of Europe. I was very interested in your videos on the cultivation of microleres and plant sprouts. You are doing a great job. I would like to try such projects myself, hence my few questions. Please answer if it's not a problem, I want to dispel my doubts, thank you in advance. 1. I have 1500 m2 of plastic tunnels outside, are they suitable for cultivation? - we mainly grow cabbage seeds here for later planting in the field. 2. What is the process from sowing to harvesting sprouts / microleels? - if you have a movie and I skipped it, I would like to watch it. 3. Do you spread the seeds on peat soil or do you have a different substrate? 4. How much time should the seed be in the dark, and when should it be exposed to the sun/lamps? 5. What kind of lighting lamps do you use? and at what distances? 6. Are the sprouts/microflora sprinkled with water from the top or is it enough to drip from the bottom not to waste water? 7. What prices should be faced. I know that electricity, water, and seeds have to be paid for, but what do they look like? Let's say you earn $ 100 - how much should you spend to get this amount. That's all I want to know. I will be very grateful if I get the answers. This is a very interesting topic, hence I would like to learn from experienced people. Best regards, do your job! :) Tracz Jaroslaw office@e-catapult.com
I enjoyed your video very much very plain simple and very well explained. But I do have a question I’ve watched other videos on growing micro greens, and some of them put a weight on top of them until they germinate what is the purpose of that?
Earthy and Yogi I’m trying my hand at passive hydroponics, do you have a favorite method of the 3 you mentioned? I have grow lights and a hydroponic set up that was given to me. I’m a farmer but new to hydroponics.
@@Just-Nikki hello hydroponics is very tricky. But i recommend trying pea shoots, green gram, fenugreek and black eyed peas. These grow very well in water. Though I've also heard spinach and lettuce does well but never tried it. Plz check out my instagram and check highlights on gardening. It has a few pictures i posted on growing microgreens. Insta @browngirlstraveldiaries
Always wanted to find out how you grow these! Hey, can you clean and reuse the jute mats after they are all harvested? Or do you sell extra ones for the next go-round? Very cool video, Thanks!!!
I'm about to attempt a small indoor microgreen garden. Any beginners tips, and can spinach be grown as a microgreen? And is it OK to mix seeds on the same grow pad?
Thank you for sharing your information. Could you please tell me the name of the lovely song playing in this video? I love it. It's so upbeat and delightfully addictive. Thank you very much.
Great Video, with the upcoming food shortages this is essential. To grow indoors do I need a special grow light, place by a window, or is the room light enough?
Microgreens can be grown with regular led lights(daylight style) you don’t need a fancy growing light as the mircogreens do not “flower” so the added spectrums(red and blue) in growing lights are not needed
MrSierraRoad you can get a 75 watt led full spectrum grow light for $21 on Amazon if you’re going to actually farm inside. Otherwise, I agree with Charley
Hey I'm sorry, I'm a beginner and I don't really have any idea about this. I had a few doubts. Can I use cotton instead of jute mat and should we use tap water or filtered water?
i want to do this with wheat grass [and blend] for the cats. they love it, my local safeway used to have it, but moved ... so far keep failing - needs to be deep so not easy to pull out by furry nibblers and heavy enough to not tip over... not sure if should be hydroponic or soil?
I grew micro greens by mistake. Chia seeds are always in my drinks and shakes. Lost track of one of my bottles in the car and it grew sprouts within 48 hours. It intrigued me and thought I’d try growing them myself. Thanks for the video.
That’s interesting. Did they grow into micro greens? And did you eat them?
I did the same thing with fenugreek seeds! I soak them and drink the water. I left my bottle with the soaked seeds on my desk came back to a bottle full of sprouts. That's what started my microgreens adventures
You should keep going back to that place where you got the chia seeds, likely super organic if they sprouted!
😂that's funny
Nice, simple and straight forward. Easy on the eye and ear. No irritating music or endless unnecessary ramblings.
This video by far is the best on TH-cam to show how to grow micro greens. No excessive talking but just the facts. Thanks so much and God bless.
thank you for your kind words.
“I wish you were here, you could taste this with me”
My heaaarrrrt 😍😍😍
Astrid Chaotë I know 😩 my heart missed my grandpa. How sweet is this man 💚
Nikki Cooper yesss!!!
Bob Ross of microgreens
Thank you SO much for the straightforward, no non-sense explanations. Exactly what I was looking for.
I watched a bunch of these microgreen videos and this is definitely the best one and very easy to listen to. Great video!

This is the most simple video of all. Most of them have special trays and soil. Thank you so much, can't wait to try.
Thank God a straightforward video less than 10 minutes, God bless you sir.

great presentation from a gentle but hands on modern farmer
Thank you for this informative video! I've always wanted to do a bit of gardening in my apartment and this seems like a realistic way to do it!
Microgreens and sprouts are TOTALLY the easiest way to start small and indoors. I have some videos on my channel that I'm sure will help you!
Thank you. Very clearly explained and you told me all I need to know. Looking forward to getting started 🙂
Great instruction. Hope it’s as easy as you made it sound. Thank you. 🙏🏻
This is the best instructional video on microgreens. Thanks.
WHY are YOU not more popular ??? YOU give the BEST advice !!! "Thank You"... This is really starting to catch on !!!
Love to grow microgreens. I used to grow them in soil but now i also do hydroponics and paper towel method

For oeas you don't even need the mats! Water is enough, just make sure the bottom is completely covered by the peas
If you harvest them by cutting, does it continue to grow? Thinking about growing chia for my cats.
I just asked my vet if he thought I could give them to my horses. He’s looking into it to be sure. Intriguing.
Yeah cats are carnivores, but I'm sure some catnip would be worthwhile for em though!
Wouldn't the nutrition value be higher growing in soil than jute pads?

So happy to be learning about this. This is live changing.
Thank you for this simple yet informative video. ❤

I enjoyed your video very much very plain simple and very well explained. But I do have a question I’ve watched other videos on growing micro greens, and some of them put a weight on top of them until they germinate what is the purpose of that?
Fantastic! Could you provide a link to your website for this setup. Thanks.

Yes can you reuse the mats
That’s what I wanted to know. I’m new to this and want to try.
He is so cute ❤️ would love him as my neighbor. He can give me the greens and I’ll make us some food lol

Thats a great relationship haha! Barter for life!
You like older men? I am 40 years old... still single from manila.

Cute - this is exactly what came to me once I started watching ☺️
Very informative thank you!
I CANT WAIT TO TRY THESE!!
You are sooooo touching and cute! This is really obvious how passionate you are about what you do 😊
Warmest regards from Moscow ♥️
Love to grow microgreens. I used to grow them in soil but now i also do hydroponics and paper towel method
This is great!!
Great info. Thank you
are the jute pads reusable? and if you just snip the tops of the greens when theyre done, would they regrow so you could cut them again? thank you!!
I’m starting to do this!!
I'm about to attempt a small indoor microgreen garden.
Any beginners tips, and can spinach be grown as a microgreen?
And is it OK to mix seeds on the same grow pad?
Great vid thanks! :)
I'm way ready to start growing my own greens after watching this video.
Let's eat healthy let's be green!
Thanks for the vid 😁 Are the grow mats reusable?
Great video! Have you tried Grodan Rockwool yet?
Can you re-use the jute mats or do you discard after use?
awesome video!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your information. Could you please tell me the name of the lovely song playing in this video? I love it. It's so upbeat and delightfully addictive.
Thank you very much.
Thanks, Sir.
Are the jute pads reusable? If not are they compostable? Thanks for the video
Excellent video
These look really fun!
They're super fun and easy to grow and are sooooo good for your health🌱💚
Loved the video. Great step by step instructions. What do you do with the mat? Is it good to use again?
That’s the question nobody answers! 🙃
Are these jute fibers reusable or one time use?
It's been a year and nobody answered. I guess trial and error will tell.
He has another video explaining the mats and that he’s tried using them twice but no more than that.
Gardening at new level. Hmmppt 💕
Good video. If you cut them with scissors, will they resprout?
Thank you so much. I’m just a beginner
This is very good .I will do it in my house .

Can you reuse the jute mats, or do you have to keep buying new ones for every time you sprout?
where is your website? great video!
Hey I'm sorry, I'm a beginner and I don't really have any idea about this. I had a few doubts. Can I use cotton instead of jute mat and should we use tap water or filtered water?
Hi, you have me wanting to grow these.. Please where can I get the mats to grow the micro greens? Thank you..,,
How often can you reuse the jute mats? Is there anything specific I need to do to clean them?
i want to do this with wheat grass [and blend] for the cats. they love it, my local safeway used to have it, but moved ... so far keep failing - needs to be deep so not easy to pull out by furry nibblers and heavy enough to not tip over... not sure if should be hydroponic or soil?
