After growing you can compost the growing medium or add to worm bin. Do not reuse growing medium because the previous roots will decompose and create mold and fungus. This video was 3 weeks worth of work. How did you like the video?
They will not grow gain, Start again from another batch and do not reuse the growing medium again either. The previous roots will decompose and cause mold and fungus. Add growing medium to compost pile or worm bin.
My thing I like best about this channel is how easy to follow and thorough the information is. Most channels spend too much time just talking instead of getting to the point, making the videos super long and leaving you wanting to tell the person "shut up and get to the point". Definitely one of my favorite channels.
Thank you for this tutorial. I've been sprouting mung beans and sunflowers but didn't know what to do with others, this really helps! Love that you don't overtalk the presentation, like many, but stay concise, direct and on topic.
great video, so clearly explained, I've just started my lockdown microgreen project and the results are amazing, I could become a microgreen addict and love nibbling them all day, Ive got mustard, peashoots, cress, and radish.......these things could literally keep you alive, a good prepping item.....seeds.
Just started growing simple things like chives, green onions, and "living lettuce" ... want to try micro greens, and this video is better than the other 20+ ones I watched!
I am so glad I found your video. I have just started planting vegetables after planting trees to make my own tiny forest in the back of the land. Now time to plant vegetables for my own. Just like you said vegetables sold in the market are not safe to consume because they use a lot of chemical. Some vegetables are easy to plant but some are not especially in rainy season. Microgreen is the way out. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. And the most beautiful part is the way you make it sound so easy which inspired the newbies. Big heart from Thailand.
Thank you for making such informative videos. 🙂 My mum wanted to make a suggestion. If you don't mind, for people that are a little bit hard of hearing, it can be very difficult to hear the information when there is loud music playing in the video. Everyone does it, I know, but it would make things a little easier if the music was very soft, or there was not music playing while you are talking. They put loud music in movies too and sometimes it's a struggle to make out what is being said. Keep making great videos. 🙂
Agreed 100%. I'm not hard of hearing but I too find it annoying when they do that and I just quit them. You're right Jag is the best. Love his spirit, his clarity and great videos. I also love that he's health conscious and uses organic and non-GMO products and shares them with us. Usually with others, they use unhealthy products and I have to do research to find healthy alternatives. With Jag I don't have to waste time doing that. Thanks for sharing your concerns.
Jag I'm a fairly new subscriber. I love your videos-they are short but to the point. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and encouraging others to grow their own food. Keep the videos coming!
one of the best videos I've seen on micro greens. Lots of quick tips that other videos don't tell you, and this video is super easy to follow. Great job! Thank you, Jag.
This is so cool, I can actually mix radish microgreens with the green salad, a combination that I love and get the same flavor instead of waiting for radishes to grow in the garden!
Great video, I really enjoyed it. I appreciate that you took the time to put this information together. I am looking forward to watching your other videos. Blessings to you!
This does work well BUT you should plant some in your regular garden so the plants can have ALL the room they need for roots as well as the plant. Birds like sunflowers so you need to stay on top of when those plants are maturing or they will steal your crop... FAST ! not sure about broccoli or radishes or cress. Peas take as much room as growing them for pods... depending on the variety. They are self pollinating as well and very easy to grow. Again, don't expect a crop from your microgreen tray.
Omg, I could listen to his voice all day long. I'm excited to try and grow my own greens and I appreciate your videos! My plan is to eventually grow my own greens for the bearded dragons and iguanas in my Pet Shop :) that way I can sustain them with healthy organic clean vegetables year round
Hello Jag. I’m very impressed from your work. I been searching around to learn how to grow vegetables. I can see you been working very hard for your dream. I have recently bought a 10 acre land in south Texas and I move here with 3 of my children. We have decirte to name our ranch as “family dream ranch” since I had a dream of do what you are doing for the organic farm. I have wrote a book that tells about how to have a better life. And I’m working on that too. I wish you the best and don’t stop dreaming.
yes I have a picture. I have other plans for it now. At the beginning I was planing to do what you already are doing, but I have no money to start up. I’m planning to grow Bamboo now. I’m going to need to get a loan or to get and investor. There is very good money in return.
Very helpful video! Quick question:- Does the microgreens regrow post harvesting? Or we need to remove everything from container and start the sowing process again with new batch of seeds?
Thank you jag. Really appreciate it and took action and ordered the seeds and have started sprouting!!using mine in smoothies and salads and just munching
Thanks for making the video. Having been thinking about starting to grow microgreens instead of getting vegetables from the store. Your video does an excellent job of being easy to follow and not being overwhelming for someone new to microgreens.
Thank you Jag for this fantastic video. The deer and rabbits kept eating my garden and I gave up. But I still had my nice LED sprouting box I had made. Thanks to you and other microgreen youtubers, my sprouting box, and my collection of grocery mushroom-trays waiting for re-use/recycle have gone to great use - providing two good trays of sunflower greens per week that bulk up my salads. I plan on increasing the rate now that I have a system down. (I bought a big bag of Black Oil Sunflower seeds "on the cheep" sold as bird-seed from the local hardware store, and to my delight, they sprout and grow great!) I also designed and 3D-Printed a tray cover that allows germinating or growing trays of greens to serve as the weight on germinating seeds. It works great and saves space. The only drawback is they don't vent well so I cannot forget to open and lightly spray regularly or they mold - but usually spraying knocks down the mold and they still grow fine. I also designed and printed a ring that makes a nice lid out of an inverted tray for darkness and height-growth ie: "leg day". When I publish the designs to Thingiverse, I will swing back here and post a link. I need to make it so people can edit them for their own brands and sizes of trays. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU again for the beautifully produced inspiration to start growing my own food again. This is helping greatly with improving my daily nutrition, and is a fun hobby. I'm looking forward to experimenting with different seeds and methods moving forward. Your videos have been fantastic. Keep up the great work!
This may have been answered already but does anyone know if you can regrow them after harvesting the tops, like scallions, or is it a one time harvest before they must be discarded?
I was growing sprouts in mason jars last winter. The issue I had with it was the seed coat is mixed amount the sprouts. it's like having grains of sand in there! So I decided to try microgreens and let them grow until the seed coats fell off. then cutting just the shoots, I would avoid the seed coats. Haven't started microgreens yet because I am on other projects. I have to get one project going before starting the next.
As your Sunflower microgreens are uncovered and grow to 2 inches or so, you can gently brush your palm over the tops and dislodge the seed hulls. Do this every day until harvest.
I'm good at sprouts but not so good at microgreens. If you take your sprouts when finished and put them in a big bowl of water and swish them around all the seed jackets come up to the top.
Thank you Jag for your valuable input in this channel .. I have learned a lot ! I would like to ask what happens after harvesting the microgreens does it grow again or it will get disposed ? Thanks again .. Keep up the great videos Regards, Ghada from Saudi Arabia
Hi Jag, I love your informative, to the point, videos. Last year, I tried growing microgreens (Mung bean and Sunflower) and also Ginger. I plan to do more experiments this year. All your trips and tips are helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.
Is there a nutritional difference between sprouts and microgreens? Also, are there any edible plants unsuitable for using as sprouts and/or microgreens? Just discovered your channel, subscribed immediately! (And this is the only channel I've clicked for notifications). Love your clear explanations and enjoy your enthusiasm. You are a great teacher, being both informative and inspiring.
Thanks :) After growing you can compost the growing medium or add to worm bin. Do not reuse growing medium because the previous roots will decompose and create mold and fungus.
This might sound silly to ask but I just want to double-check. After the Broccoli Microgreen grows and I harvest the top part, will it still continue to grow continuously if I still take care of it? Or is there a limit to harvesting and soon I'll need to get new seeds?
1. Sunflower seeds, water these, soak these 2. pea shoots, black out with coco, soak these 3. raddish, no need to soak, no need to cover with weight 4. broccoli, no need to soak, put weight 5. watercress, soak these no need to cover
if they don't regrow after cutting, why not just sprout in a jar with daily rinsing and then you can also eat the roots? Seems wasteful of part of plant and more expensive than necessary.
Thanks for the info. 2 questions, please - 1. What about using chia, hemp or flax seeds for microgreens? 2. Once the greens are ready and you've cut them, leaving several inches of stalk....do the stalks continue to grow more greens? Oops! 3. Can you reuse the coconut coir? ✌❤🙂
Your video is professional and informative. Thank you. I am in the process of starting microgreens and this has given me a lot of help. I will get some coconut coir soon!
Hi Jag! I found your video extremely helpful. I was wondering what you recommend for growing alfalfa sprouts? Do the seeds need to me soaked before planting? Aswell do they need weight added to help deepen the roots? Thanks you!
Why don't you just grow your alfalfa seeds in a glass jar? It is extremely easy and very satisfying to watch them grow. You don't need a growing medium and you harvest after five days
Are there specific varieties (ex: sunflowers) which are used to grow microgreens vs ones you would grow in a garden (Ex: Mammoth variety)? I have a massive bag of organic Mammoth sunflower seeds that I harvested last year, and I can't plant them all - would like to grow microgreens with them if possible.
After growing you can compost the growing medium or add to worm bin. Do not reuse growing medium because the previous roots will decompose and create mold and fungus. This video was 3 weeks worth of work. How did you like the video?
Will they grow AGAIN even after HARVESTING ?
Or do we need to start from SCRATCH for another BATCH
Yo !!!!!
They will not grow gain, Start again from another batch and do not reuse the growing medium again either. The previous roots will decompose and cause mold and fungus. Add growing medium to compost pile or worm bin.

If you've got space, grow a few of the seeds to maturity and get some more for next year!
That's what I was wondering.. we can just get seeds from it if we let it grow all the way right?
@@myrnacalderon1900 As long as the breed of plant is "open pollinated" and not a hybrid.
Thanks! exactly what I was about to ask :)
@@TW0T0M and as long as it doesn't require an insect pollinator.

Wow that sounds incredible! Do you have any pictures of your land? Maybe you could turn it into a food forest!
yes I have a picture. I have other plans for it now. At the beginning I was planing to do what you already are doing, but I have no money to start up. I’m planning to grow Bamboo now. I’m going to need to get a loan or to get and investor. There is very good money in return.
@@andyvilla1av Very cool, I want to grow bamboo so bad but right now I'm just growing microgreens!
This video is chock full of awesome information. Plus it's so visually pleasing. Thank you for the for you put into these videos!
Thank you for such great information. Why hadn't"t i thought of doing such a simple task? You are such a good source to keep.
This is my new spring/summer project
I'd love to see your meals with all of these!
Yes...
Very helpful video! Quick question:- Does the microgreens regrow post harvesting? Or we need to remove everything from container and start the sowing process again with new batch of seeds?
No one answered this question?!
ruclips.net/video/mOcz71WAY2w/видео.html In short, no they don't regrow
We question is answered above by Daisy Creek Farmer
Someone posted how to repurpose the old soil and waste after cutting but yeah once you cut it's done
Peas will regrow, but they aren't as nutrient rich and sometimes they are a little "woody"
I’m inlove with your videos.... you make it look so simple and easy to grow any vegetables.
Thank you jag. Really appreciate it and took action and ordered the seeds and have started sprouting!!using mine in smoothies and salads and just munching
Sunflower shoots are amazing; I add them to Egg Fu Yong, omelets, beef-and-barley soup, etc. Think I'm going to try steaming them if I get enough.
Very nice photography! Smooth transition, as always! Nice that you show that can re-use plastic containers!
Hello I am Sarika. Thank you for sharing this amazing beautiful video
Thank you for this information, I am a vegan and this would help with the salads I make each day. ;-)
@Caldeira Yes! I was thinking the same thing. 💚🌱💚
Hi jack
I just tried sunflower seeds in last week . I got best results,I tried in water ... Thank you
They are so beautiful! It would difficult to cut them😉
Ya really!!!
Imagine if trophy hunters would consider this!
I know this could sound weird but from my experience that my family eat the root too because they’re soft and nutritious just as the stem.
That's why I mostly plant for decoration
Jane Ng I’d say the root is better for you
I love growing and eating micro greens. Happy gardening to you all.

This is so smart way to grow them at home and it was very helpful
This was about as perfect a how to growing video as I've ever seen. Well done Jag!
Do you hav recepies and tutorial how u use the greens in meals? Thanks for the great video anyway!!!
They're great in salads, sandwiches and as garnish.
Bro just cut them and gulp them up straight
Be rough and tough

Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing!
Jag you are so dreamy when you talk about growing our own pesticide and herbicide free microgreens. much love from Canada!
Thank you for the link to the seeds. I will definitely try this. 👍
Thanks for sharing and teaching us such a healthy way of growing and harvesting such a great micro-greens
From the UK - Thank you, you inspired me!
Wow! I thought I needed hundreds of dollars. So easy and cheap. Thank you
Do they keep growing after cutting or do I start everything from scratch? Love your channel, keep up the good work :D
They do not, sadly. Some will if it has a few leaves to continue photosynthesizing.
This is the best video regarding growing microgreens and great for home growing. Thanks Jag:)
Informative with a broad outlook diy presentation,thank you
Clear, crisp & complete guide...... thanks
Thank you Jag for your valuable input in this channel .. I have learned a lot !
I would like to ask what happens after harvesting the microgreens does it grow again or it will get disposed ?

Wow, I never thought of ginger microgreens. Please share how it turned out.
Such an informative video, thankyou. Got all the seeds, just need to find some Coconut coir in UK!
Jag, this is outstanding. I especially like the health pep talk at the end.
Thanks, really amazing, perfect fiming and explaining, God bless you..
Love this video, have shown it to the kids and we have sown our first micro greens, can’t wait for the harvest, many thanks

Yes, microgreens have 40% more nutrients than full grown plants
William Reed Yes, but I'm wondering how they compare with sprouts...
@@teresamcmurrin8672 whoops I overlooked that part. I'm not sure
Microgreens are when the plant is the most nutritious. The plant makes additional nutrients as it produces its initial l wave.
It fascinates me when they start to sprout. Plus it is cute, with the tiny leaf.
This man deserves more subs
Great teacher and instructional video. A lot of information in a concise and clear manner.
Well done!
Nice video and good idea.
Can I reuse coconut coir for next sprouting ?
Thanks for your videos.
Cheers.
Thanks :) After growing you can compost the growing medium or add to worm bin. Do not reuse growing medium because the previous roots will decompose and create mold and fungus.
@@DaisyCreekFarms please tell me about lighting and what's the concern about mold?
Thanks!! I messed up the first time but after watching this it should go well!!
After harvesting, do I simply throw everything out and start the germination process again?
I’m wondering the same thing. I think he mentioned that in the description. You cannot reuse it. You can compost it though.
I was also going to ask this question
Julia Orrico that’s what he said to do, otherwise the plants are susceptible to mold from the germinating medium.
நீங்கள் போடும் வீடியோ எல்லாம் ரொம்ப நல்ல இருக்கிறது .thank you
Thanks for up loud beautiful love and blessing
Best video. Thankyou so much. Shall grow.cress and pea n radish😊
What do you do with the remaining shots in the tubs after you've harvested?
I have always wanted to grow, watching your video's are inspiring me to start
After you harvest the micro greens, will they grow back?
No, you must re grow them back
Great Idear using the mushroom trays. Thank you. Love to recycle and grow stuff, plant based living it.
This might sound silly to ask but I just want to double-check. After the Broccoli Microgreen grows and I harvest the top part, will it still continue to grow continuously if I still take care of it? Or is there a limit to harvesting and soon I'll need to get new seeds?
you need to use new seeds each time.
Your video has made it so simple to grow microgreens. thanks for a great video (as well as all of your videos)
1. Sunflower seeds, water these, soak these
2. pea shoots, black out with coco, soak these
3. raddish, no need to soak, no need to cover with weight
4. broccoli, no need to soak, put weight
5. watercress, soak these no need to cover

Love the macro-videography for the micro-greens! 😍Thanks for making and sharing!
Excuse my ignorance. After you cut the plants, you have to throw away the rest?... or it grows up more? Thanks!
You can compost the growing medium or add to worm bin. Do not reuse because the previous roots will decompose and create mold and fungus.

Thank you so much! 🌞
norma martinez peas and wheatgrass well have a Perpetual Harvest
Joan Taylor thank you so much for your advice . ✌🏿💗
if they don't regrow after cutting, why not just sprout in a jar with daily rinsing and then you can also eat the roots? Seems wasteful of part of plant and more expensive than necessary.
Hi i am from SRI LANKA
Nice to explanation thank you so much
Very nice well put together video! glad to have found your Channel have you tried moringa microgreen? Thanks for your time...
Finally a great video! To the point, nice video edits, packed with useful tips from an expert! ;) Thank you for sharing!!!
Why not clip closer to the roots and get more plant material from your one time harvest?
In home use, it is a delicacy, "micro" greens. Long stems are for profit/weight, or as the result of a chef request.
I need to get some more started. It's one of the few things that my grandson likes to eat
Do the sprouts keep growing after harvesting?
Thanks for the info. 2 questions, please - 1. What about using chia, hemp or flax seeds for microgreens?
2. Once the greens are ready and you've cut them, leaving several inches of stalk....do the stalks continue to grow more greens? Oops! 3. Can you reuse the coconut coir?
✌❤🙂
Do not reuse the coconut coir
After you cut them, are they still keep growing? Or you have to discard them? Can anyone answer this for me?
Usually, if the leaves are cut off, the roots will die and decompose, so you can discard them or compost them.
I will start today after work going to get all the supplies... excited
Jag! This video is EXCELLENT! I am going to order some seeds right now from your links!
Your video is professional and informative. Thank you. I am in the process of starting microgreens and this has given me a lot of help. I will get some coconut coir soon!
Amazing tutorial!! Thanks for sharing ! Can’t wait to start this project at home and share with my family.
Oh my gosh I cannot thank you ENOUGH for this!! I had the impression that we needed special technology stuff to make our microgreens!
Do you need a special seed for this or can you use any seed?
Hi Jag! I found your video extremely helpful. I was wondering what you recommend for growing alfalfa sprouts? Do the seeds need to me soaked before planting? Aswell do they need weight added to help deepen the roots? Thanks you!
Why don't you just grow your alfalfa seeds in a glass jar? It is extremely easy and very satisfying to watch them grow. You don't need a growing medium and you harvest after five days
Very nice video production, very professional. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Are there specific varieties (ex: sunflowers) which are used to grow microgreens vs ones you would grow in a garden (Ex: Mammoth variety)? I have a massive bag of organic Mammoth sunflower seeds that I harvested last year, and I can't plant them all - would like to grow microgreens with them if possible.
From ,y understanding, you can use regular seeds to use as sprouts instead of growing fully!
