Micro greens are a blast! I love using them in omelets just before you fold them, and with a bunch in top. Yum! Having a dinner party with soup and salad - having a row micro greens on a lazy Susan at the table and a scissor as part of the silverware so people can cut their own is a great way to introduce folks to micro greens!

@peterbrown2882 Год назад

Where would one buy those grow mats that you mentioned ? My search results have all ended with heat mats, and nothing about grow mats. What kind of material are we talking about ?

@pd6569 2 года назад

What a fantastic instructional with best practices. Thank you. Though I have never used jute, I will certainly give it a shot.

@GetUrbanLeaf 2 года назад

Thank you so much 🙂

@lukeinkson Год назад

Great video, thanks 😄clear, concise and well presented! I noticed you put the seeds directly into the sun, while I have seen other people starting the seeds in complete darkness (ie. a tray with seeds and another tray stacked inside to simulate the weight of soil and lack of light underground) for 3 or 4 days, the idea being the sprouts start off stronger and begin to lift the tray on top of them. Then you take it off and give full sunlight and they explode. Have you experimented with that method to compare to full sunlight from the start?

You have just pushed me to try and produce microgreens. My wife and i have 3 kids and expecting fourth, and we all love this, can you tell me can we use our own compost, that we produce, or should we buy some purified one. Thanks again for this video!

@Beartriple7 Год назад

Where can I find the video or info on when you compared the different grow matts, thank you.

@kevinjpilcher Год назад

Hey thanks for the video. Why do you choose jute over hemp? And do you need to spray them with nutrient water or add nutrients to the water since using grow pads?

@tracydegroat6345 Год назад

Thank you for this video! Does anyone else use these for their dogs digestive issues

@GetUrbanLeaf Год назад

we don't have a pup, but would definitely recommend you do some research about suitability for pets. Their digestive systems do work quite differently to ours!

@patticriss2238 2 года назад

I was seeing other gardeners talk about growing micro greens as fertilizer for their larger gardens. Haven’t seen much in way of results or updates yet, but it’s a very interesting idea.

@GetUrbanLeaf 2 года назад

Hmmm, as in using microgreens as a cover crop? Or growing microgreens to then use as a sort of dressing for the garden?

@patticriss2238 2 года назад

@@GetUrbanLeaf as In using them as a fertilizer or a liquid fertilizer. They put them in a blender with water and make a slurry or a watery pour on. Whichever you want. It makes sense but I didn’t know if it had any validity.

@EricPollarrd Год назад

Does the re growth by cutting above the first leaf set work for all different plants ?

@lindahill5659 Год назад

Curious, can you reuse the grow mats?

How importang is it to weigh down the seeds after sowing? Are there microgreems that *require* this?

Does growing in soil provide more nutrients since it’s pulling the nutrients from soil?

@mariawiley356 2 года назад

Can you reuse the mat to grow the micro greens on (the one you liked)?

@GetUrbanLeaf 2 года назад

We do see some people re-use them yes, but for hygene reasons we recommend using new ones. They're relatively affordable, 100% plant based, and compostable so tossing them causes far less damage than the alternatives

@mamimudra Год назад

Where did you buy that stick on shelf that you attached to the window?

@snarkfinder2621 Год назад

This channel is from on online retailer. They sell the shelf in a kit with three of the grow trays. Search in shop at the URL in the description below the video.

@mfmr200 Год назад

does it grow forever?

@giovannifilippone6173 Год назад

what do you do with the stems after harvest? can they be re grown?

@GetUrbanLeaf Год назад

some can be grown a bit more, but generally after harvest you just replant and 7-10 days later you'll have more. The reason we use separate small trays is so you can have a staggered start and therefore a constant and rotating supply.

@michelefranco2075 Год назад

Just wondering how often do you water them and do you always take the lid off at day 3

@GetUrbanLeaf Год назад

it does vary based on seed type, but it will be pretty obvious when they need to be removed.

@sbrantley100 8 месяцев назад

Where did you get those containers?

@GetUrbanLeaf 6 месяцев назад

these are the trays from our own microgreens kit which we sell online.

@meenulechuscreations.....1547 2 года назад

Can we grow them outdoor? Outside in heavy rains?

@GetUrbanLeaf 2 года назад

Likely no, since they're very fragile and would either be damaged or flooded out of the grow media.

@darlenestuart9900 2 года назад

Do you start with full light?

@GetUrbanLeaf 2 года назад

You don't have to, since new seeds generally appreciate a few days of not-full light while they germinate.

@michelefranco2075 Год назад

Where can you buy the trays

@GetUrbanLeaf Год назад

Hi Michele, you can get the complete kit right here! www.geturbanleaf.com/products/microgreens-growing-kit If you just want the trays please shoot us an email to help@geturbanleaf.com and we can help with that too

@AlexRodriguez-gb9ez Год назад

I hope robotics gets better, so they can automatically harvest microgreens, seaweed, and fungi. I wonder if you can harvest tiny sea proto-animals for protein.

@billysmith6702 Год назад

What brand of grow mat ??

@GetUrbanLeaf Год назад

We offer our own grow mats - they're made from plant based jute fibre.

@27kjh Год назад

Most videos I’ve watched say keep the seeds in the dark and put the Micro Greens in the light after they’ve started to grow…about the fourth day. I’m wondering why you don’t do that?

@GetUrbanLeaf Год назад

Both methods work, but we've found that the cover/dome method (to trap humidity) has a broader application hence we opted for this approach with our kit. Happy growing!

@EricPollarrd Год назад

Aren’t these all growable with no medium all? Obv the less materials required the better

@NotHaunted... 5 месяцев назад

Ueah but who to sell to?

@GetUrbanLeaf 5 месяцев назад

Fair question! but this is not really our specialty I'm afraid. We (Urban Leaf) only focus on gardening for at-home growers (i.e. personal use).

@danielburval5899 4 месяца назад

Nice video, but are you psychopath ? You aint blinking 😁

@pd6569 2 года назад

Do you ever cook the microgreens? Maybe you loose the nutrition?

@GetUrbanLeaf 2 года назад

Most people do not cook them because they lose some of that signature fresh microgreens flavor. Also when reduced down by heat you'd end up with micro-microgreens, similarly to how spinach or other leafy greens lose a lot of volume when cooked.

@JWHealing Год назад

For cooked mini greens I'd suggest mung bean sprouts. They are more substantial so are nice lightly cooked, say in a noodle dish with lots of veggies, garlic etc.
