@jiminsealbeach4109 4 жыл бұрын

I grow microgreens in my apartment, but in small batches for my own consumption only. My windows don’t get much sun so I can’t grow many other edibles, but the “legginess” you get from growing seedlings in low light is actually a plus with microgreens. They are taller and easier to cut, and of course, they will never have to be strong enough to support a mature plant. I grow mine on paper towels on top of plastic salsa or cole slaw containers filled with water. I cut a couple slits on the lid and pull the ends of the paper towel through and down into the water. The towel wicks up the water in the container to feed the seeds and keep them moist. I leave them in the dark a couple days after they germinate then move them to the window. Each container is one serving. I have an assembly line going. I plant one every day or so. It’s fun and they are my most successful crop.

Peas will actually continue to grow if you water them. And as they are nitrogen fixers, I think it's worth it to actually plant some (or all) in your garden. Yes, you will damage some of the roots but never underestimate their will to live. Also, soaking is optional, it may take a little bit more time to sprout, but sprout they will :)

I first saw this video several years ago and am revisiting it now as me and my boyfriend have gotten pretty heavy into starting to grow things. I just want to point out that your commentary on what is "organic" is such a perfect way of putting it. I recently had to leave a group on facebook due to a lot of posts about "how they are lying to you cause organic foods still are treated with pesticides and herbicides" and "organic farming still uses chemicals" and other such inflammatory comments and posts. You just seemed to sum it up perfectly here. Yes, organic gardening still uses chemicals and herbacides and fungicides and pesticides... But they are approved, natural, non carcinogenic chemicals. As you say, some things that are mass produced artificially arent toxic or harmful but rather beneficial! And some naturally occurring compounds are deadly as hell! There are mushrooms out there that will kill you if you so much as lick it, let alone eat the whole thing. There is plenty of room for deadly poison in a natural herbalists inventory as much as there is highly lifesaving medicine available due to chemist manufacturing. Thank you for explaining the balance here. People get so stuck on catch words and phrases without understanding the chemistry behind it all. Dihydrogen monoxide sounds absolutely vicious but life on this planet is dependant on it...

A small comment regarding synthetic vs. natural from 14:49: Recent articles have talked about natural fertilizers containing PFAS (and other forever chemicals) in high quantities because of concentration in biosolids from sewage sludge. Maybe synthetic fertilizer is actually better for the environment, until there is enough onsite compost to eliminate need for purchased amendments. Another gotcha this year was that I used straw for mulch, but later found that glyphosate is a frequently used desiccant for straw. Keep up the epic videos!

Another way to avoid mold is the spray the soil with food-grade hydrogen peroxide. Follow the instructions on the container. It is a good idea to rinse seeds and sort for broken or bad seeds I have also found that filtered water gives better results. The sprouts like wheat, other grains, sunflowers are not depending on soil nutrients, it is using nourishment from the seed. Wheat and other grasses should only be used while they have one blade. Wheatgrass juice begins to lose its potency after about 7 minutes. If you are blending wheatgrass juice with other juices, Juice it last. Cucumber and wheatgrass are a pleasant combination. (Parasites don't like cucumber juice.) Sunflower sprouts should only have 2 leaves. When the second set of leaves start, it is no longer a sprout. This is unless you are growing pea sprout or salad greens, ie. baby lettuce, kale, etc. These all will eventually depend on the soil for nutrients. Most of this information came from studying with the late Ann Wigmore, and Brian Clement.

Wow! I just started micrgreens this winter when i put a (small) seedling station in my dining room. I knew the basics - the very basics - but what you showed me is that I was missing a lot of basics: the sowing density, the lighting process, and the fact that harvesting is a one and done - i thought it was a renewable/regrowable resource for some reason. This in turn has encouraged me to continue with my process and to tweak it to make it better. This is a well done video on microgreens! Gardening - always a learning a experience!

It's nice that you covered this because in an emergency your best bet might be to actually grow something indoors and plus anything that's easy to do provides a good starting base where they can add this to their gardening plans
