Soil, Grow Mat, & Fertilizer Trials

The topic of this podcast is a listener request. Silver asked, "Could you do a podcast on how to stagger your microgreens in the best way so you always have fresh ones on hand." Great question! In this podcast, I give my thoughts on how to stagger your growing schedule so you have fresh microgreens on hand when needed.There are many different factors, and each person will have differing requirements. So there is not one perfect answer. But there are several things you can do to schedule planting your microgreen trays. Don't forget, you can always grow more than you need and gift the extra to people that you think would appreciate them, or need them. Being kind and generous is always the best.New Sale Everyday in Home Microgreens Store until January 1st, 2024! Episode on the Microgreen Manager.

In Episode 43 of the Microgreens Podcast, I discuss my observations of temperature on the growth of microgreens. We as humans need to get out of the reductionist ways of thinking. For most things in life and nature, one particular thing is not the cause of a problem, issue, or even the good things that happen.It's a combination of events or factors that is the cause. Issues of growing microgreens in the heat or cold are no different. The absolute temperature is not 100% of the issue; humidity, growth stage, and airflow are also important factors in how microgreens grow. I discuss all of these in the podcast.You can visit the show notes of this podcast here on HomeMicrogreens.com.Support the showThank you for listening!Please Support the ShowGet a Free Microgreen Growing Guide!
