Good day to all. I apologize for not writing for so long. There were unforeseen circumstances at work that took a lot of time.
Judging by the previous post, those who liked it liked the Microgreen theme. Thank you very much for your support, you motivate me to write posts in this direction.
Today I will tell you in brief what Microgreen is and what it is.
Microgreens are young plants from 10 to 14 days after planting. The amount of nutrients in such greens is ten times higher than in ordinary, adult greens. For example, you can take adult dill greens and dill Microgreens. 50 grams of Microgreen dill will contain more nutrients. And imagine how much you need to eat adult dill to get the dose of nutrients that is in 50 grams of Microgreen dill. This is not real. How can this be ?? This is because during the period of growth, Microgreen has the greatest concentration of everything useful, since it is young and needs a lot of useful things for growth and development. This is, in short, what I can tell you about Microgreens in general.
At the moment, I have already purchased seeds, containers and growing materials. Something else goes by mail.
Now I will show you what I bought and clearly show you which of these seeds should grow.

Also at the moment I have already made a draft of my first personal rack. It will consist of two shelves: the upper one will be even but inclined, approximately 5 ° slope, and the second in the form of an obtuse triangle. But when it's ready I'll show you it and what happened in the end.
As for the volumes of Microgreens I want to grow:
- For now, I'll start with two or three ready-made containers once every three days. 2. Then I will gradually increase the number.
Again, I will look at which culture is more in demand.
That's all for today.
Subscribe, comment, like, there will be many more interesting things about Microgreen. Good luck, health and inspiration to all of you.
I was very intrigued by your germination photos. This topic interests me because we are planning to start growing our own foods (in an outside garden) this year. I am researching which indoor plants would be good as well.
I definitely learned something new. I had no idea Microgreens were that much more nutritious than adult plants. I’ll be following you to keep up with your progress :)
I have also nominated your post for an OCD upvote and to be included in one of our compilations.
I would like to suggest you try posting in a community. Communities were created for like minded/interested users to find each other’s work easier. You would most likely get more support if you post in a community where people already have the same interest.
Your post would fit great in the Natural Medicine or Amazing Nature communities ;)
Thank you for an interesting and informing read ~
Thank you very much for your support. I want to say that Microgreens in the ground will not work or it will work out badly. All due to the fact that there are a large number of harmful microorganisms in the ground and it is difficult to understand which ones are there. Therefore, Microgreens are grown on shelves.
You are very welcome :)
That makes sense. Yes, definitely wouldn’t grow them in the ground. I would only grow them indoors on the shelf. ✅
Thank you!
