Growing microgreens on your own is easy. You only need to find a shallow dish with some soil - standard garden or pot soil will do the trick. Containers with drain holes are preferred, as they allow you to easily get rid of the excess humidity. Sow seeds densely, press them into the surface. You do not have to cover them with soil. This will prevent the edible parts of plants from getting stained. We recommend to use a sprinkler for watering the culture - this simple device will tenderly and evenly distribute water. Maintaining stable, moderate humidity is essential. Crops are harvested after 2 to 3 weeks, when the first true leaves appear. The cultivation at home can take place all year long and you will therefore always have access to fresh, delicious leaves.
