You'll need:

​

• A growing tray with a tray underneath. You can also use a shallow pot with a saucer, or an old ice cream container with holes in the bottom in a plate or tray. 

 

• Soil or growing medium. We recommend seed raising mix or vege mix for best results.

​

• Optional - a water spray bottle

​

Instructions:

​

1. Measure out how much seed you'll need (this will depend on how big your tray or pot is). Tip: Microgreens grow quite intensely. For best results, you'll need enough to sprinkle the seeds thickly over the surface of the tray or container.

​

Pea and Sunflower seeds need to be soaked in room temperature water for around 12 hours. Do not soak the Microgreen Blend seeds.

 

Place the seeds in a bowl and fill with water (so that pea seeds are covered) and leave for 12 hours. You'll need about 4 x more water than seeds. After soaking, place in a sieve or colander and rinse thoroughly under the tap.

​

2. Prepare your planting tray/pot by filling with soil to about 3/4 full. Firm down gently.

​

3. Sprinkle your seeds in a thick layer and cover with a thin layer of soil - no more than 1cm thick.

​

4. Place the tray or pot on a windowsill in sunlight, or if it is spring or summer, you can place outside on the patio.

​

5. Keep the soil moist but not too wet. We recommend using a spray bottle of water to keep the soil moist until the microgreens break the surface of the soil, and then adding water to the saucer/bottom tray when required (approx. once a day).

​

6. Microgreens are ready to harvest when they are 9-14 days old . Use scissors to cut seedlings at the bottom of the stem.
