Useful Information

Sowing & Growing

For indoor microgreen cultivation, begin by generously filling a seed tray with compost, then level it by cutting away excess compost with a board. Press the compost down using a precisely fitted homemade board. Scatter the seeds quite thickly, maintaining a spacing of about 0.5cm, with your thumb and forefinger. Once the seeds are spread, lightly cover them with seed compost (approximately 0.5cm deep). Gently water the tray and place it on a south-facing windowsill, ensuring the compost stays consistently moist.

For outdoor sowing starting in mid-April, use containers like window boxes or hanging baskets. Utilize these spaces before planting summer flowers. Alternatively, sow seeds directly into the garden bed. However, be cautious about potential weed growth, and not all weeds are edible; some, like groundsel, can be harmful. If sowing directly into the garden, follow these steps: create a shallow trench (10cm wide, 5cm deep), with subsequent trenches 10cm apart. Backfill each trench with weed-free seed or multi-purpose compost. Scatter the seeds generously (about 0.5cm apart), cover them lightly with more seed compost, and water gently. Warmer soil accelerates germination, with harvesting typically ready 3-4 weeks after sowing.
