Khang Starr's KZfaq channel has several really excellent tutorials as well. They are easy and informative.

I saw one other vid that talked about baby fuzz,

I've been in raw vegan and sprouting for 10 years and spoke to several raw gurus but I have never heard anyone mention sterilizing seeds. I think you mean to keep the water free from growing bacteria, which is what the purified water and repeated draining and rinsing are for. If you use tap water, then you would want to use raw apple cider vinegar to halt any bacteria living in the water. this is a good method for anyone who has to drink unprocessed or unfiltered water.

Xbot4Life I was going ask about that we were told years ago bean sprouts can poison u

stupid question here mate .... I did not quite understand one thing .... after you get the sprouts and you take the lid off to put them under the light, how often do you water the tray ? the same, like twice per day and letting the water drain ?

kreeetin isn't that expensive for a business?

That's what I was thinking too! It's a bit weird hearing an expert saying something so totally wrong about something so basic.

do microgreen version of veges like kale use a different seed as normal kale or is it just different phases to harvest?

Bryan Simon thanks Bryan

@@elephantsong7782 I saw another gardener said it's from the same seed just different phase of harvesting.

Mandie Garrett thanks Mandie

I like the idea of using apple cider vinegar. Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes and no. Metal can leach. Glass... well not a good idea for sustainability. Plastic while seemingly less green likely has a smaller environmental impact if you consider the longevity they see for its use.

Lisa T glass not a good idea for sustainability? Where on earth do you get that From?

@@lynneceegee8726 Only if you break many containers. I just use my trash containers from the occasional takeout sushi for my small seeds like chia or a jar from the grocery store when I buy olives or capers. They're great for my lentils. Ball Jars are not bad for the environment. Neither is terracotta to spread chia on. Corn and sugar based plastics should change the toxicity profile some.

Good point, Debra, but using and reusing tools and containers, this way, their origins aren’t as important as their durability, and especially, their inertness and easiness of cleaning! Many metals and ceramics aren’t necessarily foodsafe, they might leach toxins into the sprouts or plants, and cleaning them for reuse might be difficult. Glass jars with plastic mesh lids are my favourite, for small-scale household sprouting, and that plastic is washed and reused to death! Glass, of course, is recyclable.

Agree the microplastics are leaching into the media and then up into the sprouts. I would not use aluminium for the same reason. Glass is a good environmentally friendly option. I think stainless steel equipment would also not be a problem.

I've watched many videos about growing micro greens and this is the ONLY one that mentions using them multiple times. Strange. Everyone else says to throw the bottom out after tops are cut off.

@@sherirex7177 only wheat grass will grow again, no other

Yes

How many times can you regrow micro greens in soil?

I was wondering if you could chop off as much as you want for a meal and leave the rest in the tray to harvest as needed. I know some micro greens will turn bitter once the true leaves are bigger. Would leaving the whole tray in the fridge arrest the growth?

FY30: I’m not sure what she used, but I love lining pots with plastic window screen. It’s reusable and stops soil from going through the holes.

Eyelash40: Just soak them once, at the beginning! After that, rinse and drain every 12 hours, or so, then always place the jar on its side, so the drained seeds are humid, not sitting in water, which will rot them. They need to “breathe” while they grow sprouts! Each type of seed takes a different number of days to grow, ready to your taste, but if you buy seeds to sprout, those will give more specific times.

Yes a saw a farmer doing it in another video. soil wasn't used and he put the seeds in a bucket.

Also feeds cows, pigs and perhaps all livestock

May i know how to different microgreen and sprout?

Hi Jerry......sprouting is the method of using water and a jar/tray to sprout the seeds....microgreen is the method of using earth to bring the seeds to a micro-green. I show both methods on the video and also there are instructions on the website for either method....hope this helps....Sally

Thanks Sally, i wouldn't know sprout and microgreen are different thing before see your video. Now i know it. I am trying to grow microgreen using aquaponic system and grow them on food grade sponge. Not sure if it can be grow on it

Where can we purchase the kelp please and thank you?

she sprtiz all her microgreens with the kelp fertilizer solution! a teaspoon to a litre of water! it helps increase the nutrition content of the greens.

Reduce chance of mould and fungi

Probably just a piece of cheesecloth

I saw them on Costco's website, named "Masontops bean screen seed sprouting kit", only the lids for the jars. with the seeds

@@T_Creates I bought mine through Amazon.

You can prevent bacterial growth by adding a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to the water. It doesn't hurt the sprouts.

Thank you Jim Morrison. A teaspoon every time I rinse/water? This tip puts my mind at rest. Really appreciate that.

I hope this helps - Try iHerb and sprout house.Also some of the supplement catalogs have them. Always try to buy non-GMO and Organic. sprouthouse.com/organic-sprouting-seeds/

I’ve got some metal insect screen but you can use muslin too, even a kitchen towel will do the trick

What I do is I buy a plastic mesh screen at an art store (or Dollar Store) and I cut it in the diameter I need. The ones that you can find in the dedicated stores are way more expensive. Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada.

I ordered mine on Amazon.

Amazon.com is where I purchased mine.

Maia sprouting and microgreen seeds are basically the same as regular seeds. Different varieties may have been selected for ease of sprouting thats all. Seeds in small packets will be expensive. Look for where farmers may purchase seeds by the kilo. When I lived in PI some years ago, I would purchase radish and lettuce seeds in 1 kilo sacks in Baguio. Just need to ask he farmers where they get bulk seeds and start experimenting. Any annual crop seeds can produce sprouts.
