Grow Microgreens Using Sand!?

Ever look around and wonder what you can and can’t use to grow Microgreens? It’s hard not to imagine the possibilities - even if it seems a bit odd. That’s why we decided to test out some "not so typical grow mediums” such as Sand to see if you could grow microgreens successfully… because who knows if you’ll ever be in the middle of the desert or stranded near a beach that just happens to have a bag of seeds laying around? - haha of course the chances of this happening are pretty obsolete…. yet it doesn’t make it any less fun!
To top it off, we also had the idea of what if sand could be a reusable grow medium for microgreens, since technically you can wash it out and then heat it to sterilize it... so of course, we couldn’t not test that out too!
Usually, you’ll find sand mixed into soils to help with increasing aeration, drainage and loosening up the soil for planting various vegetable crops. We’ve even tested out a local Dallas, Texas soil in the past for growing microgreens that was amended with sand, and it did a wonderful job. However, outside of being mixed into soil - you don’t see sand as a stand alone grow medium for microgreens… and that may be because of a few reasons which we discuss in this video.
However, before we get carried away - the results speak for themselves as you will see, and it was a fun way to grow microgreens without traditional soil! There are TIPS and TRICKS sprinkled throughout the video to help you have successful harvests if you want to try this too!!
We hope you enjoy and please let us know your thoughts below :)

About 50 years ago when I was in 4th grade, a farmer taught our class about starting seeds in sand. Of course, that was long before the micro-greens craze, but our starts grew quicker in sand than potting soil or plain ol' dirt from the playground, but as they continued to grow the more nutrient rich media allowed the plants to mature whereas the sand starts started to look sickly, so we transplanted them to potting soil and they caught up to the other plants in a couple of days. Placing your root mass in a coarse colander or 1/8th inch sieve over fine sieve or large bowl and running water through it might work to clean the sand out faster/easier. Plant matter stays in the colander; sand collects in the fine sieve...

Nice experiment. I have done a lot, but this is one I have not tried. I may have to try it. I am experimenting with how long I can go without changing the soil or sanitizing the tray. I use redworms in my trays, so it ends up being its own little ecosystem. For home use you can not beat it, as the worms eat all the mold and dead plant matter. They also give you castings in return. I started out hoping to reuse 10 times, but I am still going strong at 56 times. LOL

After harvest, It seems to me that reclaiming the sand might be a less messy process, and easier, if the whole works was dumped into a larger tote container all at once (so no grabbing small tufts one at a time and transferring them over to another container), or just placing the whole tray in a tote, as-is, and using the spray nozzle to loosen each handful as you go separate the organic from the sand... probably wouldn't take much water... basically all the water and "mess" would be contained in the tote... of course that's just a theory LOL... It really is an interesting idea to re-use the medium countless (free) times... great experiment. Thank You.

Interesting idea using sand as a medium. @On The Grow Maybe it would help separating the used medium when put into a salad thrower (one to separate greens from water) but instead submerging the system 50-100% in water. In my head it should whirl around the mixture while letting the sand sink to the bottom as opposed to the other parts mostly pushing gainst the walls or floating above.

First time watcher, preparing to enter the market. I have a few observations I would like to share. Firstly, you are stunning. Has to be said. Secondly. You can get a large size sieve with ample capacity for a whole tray, with hole size optimized for the size sand you are using, place it over a sand catcher pan. Gat a boiling water hose with a strong shower/hose head and boil wash the sand off the plant matter which will land in the bucket along with the boiling water. This is sufficient I am sure to qualify as pasteurized. No need to dry, just drain it off and let it cool enough to put directly into the next growing trays damp and ready to be seeded! You could add a cold wash step at the front to get rid of the sand if you wanted to sell the whole plant, root and seed included. cold jet shower through sieve should get the sand off enough, the boiling water is just to pasteurized the sand. Thirdly. have a google of 'single sided hedge trimmers', combined with the strip of plastic and ramped tray for cutting, you have yourself many manhours saved. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

@hjezek Жыл бұрын

Works surprisingly good ! 1) does germination continue as good after several cycles of using the sand ? 2) did you consider adding some fertilizer to the water. Silica sand is as nutrient poor as it can get. 3) 30-60 min in the oven is a lot of time and energy and probably becomes cumbersome with a larger quantity of sand. Did you consider sterilizing with a conc. H2O2 solution instead ? That should get rid of (most) germs and doesn't leave any residues.

Hej There. Thank you for the sand idea : ) Thats really awesome : ). I’ve got an idea for your sand cleaning process. If you start with covering the hole tray with a fine metal net (fine as 6mm by 6mm) and fold the edges down the sides of the tray, I think you can separate sand and roots easily, by flushing the sand directly out off the tray. What do you think? Best regards, Sven from Denmark

To separate your sand from roots, get a 5 gallon pail, fill maybe 2/3 or 3/4 full with water. Then add an air stone with a commercial air pump. The bubbles will help to agitate the roots/sand mixture and the sand should fall to the bottom. You could put one of those screens in the bottom, that car detailers use so not to get sand/dirt on their wash rag. Then lay the air stone on top of the screen in the bottom. I haven't tried this, but Im speculating, I have many years experience with DWC/Hydroton growing and airstones. Im from Canada so you have a pretty good guess what I grow. Great Video! Cheers. 8)

Interesting, but I imagine you definitely CANNOT skip rinsing your greens, and using a salad spinner, if you use sand ... unlike coco or RGM, where being lazy isnt a show stopper. As for recycling the sand, i'd be inclined to try this: fill a 5 gal pail half with water, add the spent root mat, then use a power drill fitted with a paint stirrer, to threash out all the sand. The sand would stratify to the bottom, and roots would sit on top ... just fish out and compost the plant matter with a small sieve whose mesh is big enuf to let the sand thru. To prep the sand, drain it, put into a heavy pot atop a cajun cooker, and heat it until any remaining plant matter carbonizes, after which it will be dry and sterile, and simply needs to cool.
