nope I just sprayed topically the first few days, then once its well rooted just gave it small drink everyday underneath the cloth. Just enough to keep cloth and roots moist. Good Luck with your microgreens!
Thanks for sharing! One question. Since you aren't using soil or any fertilizer, how do the micro greens get their nutrients? Would it maybe to be wise to spray them with water that has been soaked and banana peels for extra nutrients?
@@LittleGardenSK thanks! Do you have a recommendation on hood affordable seeds. TF seems a little expensive. Especially for just starting out. Thinking I should get 4oz of a few different variety's? Not sure the quantity I need?
Hello Joe! I usually end up with a lot of hulls in with my sprouts that are edible, but prefer to remove and compost most of them. thanks for stopping by my channel!
Hello Jane. I agree the jar method seems to leave you with a lot seed particles. I wash in a sink of water to flush out as many as possible.. The cheesecloth is a much better solution to that problem.
Thank you for your video. I really like this idea. I have been sprouting in jars which works just fine but I want to try this. I like to see the different seeds grown together like you did; so pretty. Thanks again for the cool idea. Greetings from southern Saskatchewan. 😜
Hello Prairiepatch! Always great to hear from another Saskatchewanian. I was also really happy with this method. Its cleaner than using soil and you nice sized sprouts that are easy to harvest.
Hello Milli. It does not get stuck at all. I was pleasantly surprised how easily to pulled out of the cloth. And I'm sure the cloth could be rinsed and used more than once. I hope to give it a try again soon!
Wonderfully simple! I've tried hemp fabric and paper towel and I think another medium would get better results of sprouts, so trying the cheesecloth next. Thanks for sharing!
@@LittleGardenSKThank you! Not to be a pain, but do you just pour water in only enough to soak the cloth? I’ve not been successful with this so I want to be sure I’m doing it right. Appreciate the help very much!
Incredibly helpful. Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thanks for stopping by the channel. 😊
❤❤❤, beautiful presentation!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow 🤩 that’s amazing 🌱 I didn’t know it could be that simple
yep - easy peasy! Thanks for stopping by the channel!
Are these sprouts or micro greens
Sprouts are grown in water and microgreens in some type of medium, so I would classify these as sprouts!
Very very cool! I'm going to do this I have a pkg of micro greens I want to try. So, no holes for drainage?

Great, informative video! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello, can you reuse the cheese cloth? I want to try this method but the cloth is not that cheap. Thanks!
Yes you can! The roots are pretty easy to remove and reuse. The cheesecloth I got from the dollarstore was only a couple bucks.
Thanks for sharing! One question. Since you aren't using soil or any fertilizer, how do the micro greens get their nutrients? Would it maybe to be wise to spray them with water that has been soaked and banana peels for extra nutrients?
Microgreens get their initial nutrients right from the seed, so don't need anything but moisture.

How often do you water and do you just fill enough to soak the cloth? Should I just keep a constant cloth line level of water?
Hello! I just keep the cloth moist but not too saturated. You don't want your sprouts sitting in too much excess water.
I bet they will taste delicious mixed.😋
All of them tasted great.
If pulled out of the cheesecloth what to do with the remaining seed hulls, edible or rinse away in a colander?

I grow sprouts in a jar and there is much rinsing to wash out seed caps. Do you wash out seed caps?

Hello Prairiepatch! Always great to hear from another Saskatchewanian. I was also really happy with this method. Its cleaner than using soil and you nice sized sprouts that are easy to harvest.
Thanks. So I need to soak these before ?
Hello! I usually soak peas or beans for 12-24 hours prior. Thanks for stopping by my channel!
Very nice. When you pull the greens from the cloth, does any cotton fiber get stuck to the roots?
Hello Milli. It does not get stuck at all. I was pleasantly surprised how easily to pulled out of the cloth. And I'm sure the cloth could be rinsed and used more than once. I hope to give it a try again soon!
Do you think this is better than putting seeds in mason jar and watering etc?
I have done the mason jar method as well and it works good too.
Wonderfully simple! I've tried hemp fabric and paper towel and I think another medium would get better results of sprouts, so trying the cheesecloth next. Thanks for sharing!
I tried a hemp fabric as well and found it hard to clean and reuse. Good luck with the cheesecloth!
Brill, thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by my channel!
I'm going to try your trick using what I have here
Thanks
Have fun
@@LittleGardenSK oh I will thanks I will let people know I got the idea from you
Thanks
Of wow so coool!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Most concise video ever. Thank you so much, new subscriber!
Thank you Wanda. Welcome to my channel!
How often do you bottom water after sprouting? Great video
I usually check it daily and add water as needed making sure the roots don't dry out. thanks for stopping by the channel!

@@LittleGardenSK I also just found white fuzz on the tray with the cheesecloth, but none on the one with paper towels. I assume that’s mold.
@@h3pak Mold looks like spider webbing. Regular normal hairlike fuzz is okay and produces naturally at the root of sprouts. Hope this helps.
Awesome thanks!
