How to grow radish microgreens indoors: a step by step guide!

#shorts
🌱 To grow microgreens, you’ll need a seedling tray, seeds of your choosing, compost or potting soil, vermiculite (optional), something to water with, and a label (so you know what's what).
☀️ First, fill your tray with a layer of soil.
💧 Avoid filling the tray to the top. Microgreens are essentially seedlings, so the soil doesn’t need to be very deep to support their roots.
✂️ Next, pat down the soil. A smooth surface will ensure your seeds germinate evenly.
🌱 Thoroughly water the soil so that it's nicely moist.
☀️ Now you’re ready to sow some seeds! Hannah’s using Radish Rioja. Other popular varieties include broccoli, watercress, pea, and arugula seeds.
💧 Sprinkle the seeds across the surface of the soil.
✂️ Spread out the seeds evenly. You can use your fingers to move them around, and gently press them into the soil.
🌱 Next, cover the seeds.
☀️ You can use more compost or potting soil. Hannah’s using vermiculite.
💧 Vermiculite is a type of mineral that’s great for germinating seeds and propagating plants.
✂️ It retains water and nutrients, then releases them over time.
🌱 Since it doesn’t restrict airflow, it won’t suffocate seeds or roots. It even promotes airflow when mixed with soil.
☀️ Press vermiculite down to promote contact between the seeds and the soil. Try to keep things even.
💧 You’re almost done! Give the seeds a good, but gentle, watering.
✂️ Lastly, don’t forget to label your seed tray. Especially if you’re growing multiple varieties.

Yeah, you dont actually need compost.
Just coco coir or soil.

[@russp02]

might not be how you or i would but pretty sure it would work

​@@russp02 It could work, but for a guide, it's pretty bad. She clearly didn't do much research.
-You can use coco coir or soil, no need for anything fancy.
-Put the seeds in, better if they aren't on top of each other.
-Water with a spray bottle. Easier.
-Put a tray over them. Blackout period can help growing better; just 2-3 days. Water daily.
-After that, put them in a sunny areay water every day.
-No need for compost or anything. They don't need any nutritions.
