Learn how easy and fun it is to sprout/micro green/wheatgrass. Incredible healthy way to build your immune system and heal your body from the inside out. (www.seedtogreen.com)
My daughter ordered several kits of assorted microgreens seeds for me to grow indoors. This tutorial is so valuable to a beginner. I really appreciate it. I wasn't sure how to start the procedure. Now I know what to do.
I appreciated the small but important detail about 'baby fuzz', which I'm currently seeing but had not been warned about previously in any other micro-greening video for beginners. This packs in a lot of 'how-to" information in an efficient, casual and high quality way, making the entire process very accessible. Thank you.
This is an excellent tutorial, I wish that I saw this a year ago. This is the best place to start if your a beginner. Excellent information. Best Regards Terri US Virgin Islands.
Thank you, great video & how I wish I would had found you long ago... I have liked & subscribed... Can't wait to see many more healthy & educational videos... 💞🎵🌷🌺 🌸 😆 👏 👍 💫 🌟 💛
stupid question here mate .... I did not quite understand one thing .... after you get the sprouts and you take the lid off to put them under the light, how often do you water the tray ? the same, like twice per day and letting the water drain ?
No..the difference between sprouts and microgreens is: Sprouts are the at the point where the seed just begings to germinate..and a tail emerges Microgreens: The first set of leaves emerge Macrogreens: The second set of leaves..."true leaves" have emerged
Do you just pour the new seeds over the stumps of the cut ones when you get ready to do your next batch?? You can reuse the dirt over and over, correct?
I don't think I heard you mention what type of peas you used to make pea tendril/sprouts. Are they fresh peas or dry seeds? PLEASE give more information on this topic. I'm just starting the sprouting process for my first time and very keen to learn. TFS!
You didn't say anything about light......do the sprouts need to be in a window sill?? will they be ok on the counter with no outside light?? what about the micro greens? every video ive seen shows expensive lighting for their in door micro greens. can i grow it without the lights? can the tray be left on a table in the backyard?? need more info, thanks.
Eyelash40: Just soak them once, at the beginning! After that, rinse and drain every 12 hours, or so, then always place the jar on its side, so the drained seeds are humid, not sitting in water, which will rot them. They need to “breathe” while they grow sprouts! Each type of seed takes a different number of days to grow, ready to your taste, but if you buy seeds to sprout, those will give more specific times.
When one sprout seeds how many days in total is enough to complete process? And the next question would be after is finished one dries it and put them in the fridge? How long they last? Thanks
When growing sprouts in soil, can the same soil be used more than once for planting? Or, after harvesting, I need to empty the tray, clean it and fill with the new growing substance (i.e. soil)
Nobody talks about sterilisation. You MIGHT get sick if you are not careful. Sterilise your seeds, it only takes 15 minutes. Soak seeds in ACV (2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with 1 CUP of water, or 4 Tbsp and 2 Cups of water, etc, etc), it only needs to cover the seeds. Soak for 15 mins then rinse till the ACV has gone, then follow the normal soaking process with your sterilised seeds.
I've been in raw vegan and sprouting for 10 years and spoke to several raw gurus but I have never heard anyone mention sterilizing seeds. I think you mean to keep the water free from growing bacteria, which is what the purified water and repeated draining and rinsing are for. If you use tap water, then you would want to use raw apple cider vinegar to halt any bacteria living in the water. this is a good method for anyone who has to drink unprocessed or unfiltered water.
I know it is more expensive financially, but physically and ecologically would we be better to avoid the use of plastics in the process, instead using glass, ceramic or metal alternatives?
Yes and no. Metal can leach. Glass... well not a good idea for sustainability. Plastic while seemingly less green likely has a smaller environmental impact if you consider the longevity they see for its use.
@@lynneceegee8726 Only if you break many containers. I just use my trash containers from the occasional takeout sushi for my small seeds like chia or a jar from the grocery store when I buy olives or capers. They're great for my lentils. Ball Jars are not bad for the environment. Neither is terracotta to spread chia on. Corn and sugar based plastics should change the toxicity profile some.
Good point, Debra, but using and reusing tools and containers, this way, their origins aren’t as important as their durability, and especially, their inertness and easiness of cleaning! Many metals and ceramics aren’t necessarily foodsafe, they might leach toxins into the sprouts or plants, and cleaning them for reuse might be difficult. Glass jars with plastic mesh lids are my favourite, for small-scale household sprouting, and that plastic is washed and reused to death! Glass, of course, is recyclable.
Agree the microplastics are leaching into the media and then up into the sprouts. I would not use aluminium for the same reason. Glass is a good environmentally friendly option. I think stainless steel equipment would also not be a problem.
Вообще некоторые советуют с корешками выдирать траву, потому что когда следущую партию сажаешь, они гнить начинают и могут грибками заразить корни новой травы
I've watched many videos about growing micro greens and this is the ONLY one that mentions using them multiple times. Strange. Everyone else says to throw the bottom out after tops are cut off.
What I do is I buy a plastic mesh screen at an art store (or Dollar Store) and I cut it in the diameter I need. The ones that you can find in the dedicated stores are way more expensive. Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada.
I’ve never tried wheat grass. Why do you only juice it and not eat it? Thank you for sharing. The words”micro greens” doesn’t sound so scary. I’m going to start with broccoli micro greens and chia. If I do well I’ll go to red cabbage micro greens. I had some of those from the farmers market ~omgosh they were delicious.
Great tutorial. What about possible contamination of seeds with salmonella? How to prevent that from happening? Especially with sprouting with the not too distant happening with contaminated mung bean sprouts in stores
I hope this helps - Try iHerb and sprout house.Also some of the supplement catalogs have them. Always try to buy non-GMO and Organic. sprouthouse.com/organic-sprouting-seeds/
she sprtiz all her microgreens with the kelp fertilizer solution! a teaspoon to a litre of water! it helps increase the nutrition content of the greens.
Maia sprouting and microgreen seeds are basically the same as regular seeds. Different varieties may have been selected for ease of sprouting thats all. Seeds in small packets will be expensive. Look for where farmers may purchase seeds by the kilo. When I lived in PI some years ago, I would purchase radish and lettuce seeds in 1 kilo sacks in Baguio. Just need to ask he farmers where they get bulk seeds and start experimenting. Any annual crop seeds can produce sprouts.
My daughter ordered several kits of assorted microgreens seeds for me to grow indoors. This tutorial is so valuable to a beginner. I really appreciate it. I wasn't sure how to start the procedure. Now I know what to do.
Khang Starr's RUclips channel has several really excellent tutorials as well. They are easy and informative.

I saw one other vid that talked about baby fuzz,
Thanks so very much for posting this. This video has some of the prettiest micro greens and sprouts I've ever seen.
I've learned bunches and go back and watch again to catch as much as I can. Thank you very much for this valuable info!!!

Packed full of so much great information. Thank you!!!
Best video on Micro-greens and spouts ~ thanks
I love this germination, thank you for teaching us 👍👍👍
Great to see all the different kinds of sprouts and microgreens!
Very good teaching. Very excellent methods! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you, great video & how I wish I would had found you long ago... I have liked & subscribed... Can't wait to see many more healthy & educational videos... 💞🎵🌷🌺 🌸 😆 👏 👍 💫 🌟 💛
Thanks so much for your helpful tutorial!
Soak your peas in water for 12-24 hours before sowing trust me this will boost their growth rate.
stupid question here mate .... I did not quite understand one thing .... after you get the sprouts and you take the lid off to put them under the light, how often do you water the tray ? the same, like twice per day and letting the water drain ?
Very clear explanation, thank you.
Microgreens do not need soil. Can use a screen method, coco coir, paper towels etc. Good video.
kreeetin isn't that expensive for a business?
Love your video! I wish you did more.
Wow you have most beautiful greens there
Thank you for this very informative video! I'm looking forward to using your suggestions!
No..the difference between sprouts and microgreens is:
Sprouts are the at the point where the seed just begings to germinate..and a tail emerges
Microgreens: The first set of leaves emerge
Macrogreens: The second set of leaves..."true leaves" have emerged
That's what I was thinking too! It's a bit weird hearing an expert saying something so totally wrong about something so basic.
do microgreen version of veges like kale use a different seed as normal kale or is it just different phases to harvest?
Bryan Simon thanks Bryan
@@elephantsong7782 I saw another gardener said it's from the same seed just different phase of harvesting.
Mandie Garrett thanks Mandie
Awesome!! Thank you kindly
Thanks, very informative video.
Succinct and informative thank you doing this with community is for sure 👍💚
Fantastic video. Very informative and well done. Also... gilf
It look easy, thank you.
Thank you so much. Very informative
thank you excellent video
It took me forever to realize that "sproting" was actually sprouting. 😂
Great video Thanks!
Sometimes I add a few drops of grape seed extract or hydrogen peroxide for watering to prevent mold. It works well!
I like the idea of using apple cider vinegar. Thank you for the suggestion.
Brilliant! Loved watching this. I’m living in the uk so I’m guessing buying all your starter kits is not going to work for me...?
do you spray the sprouts twice a day with the kelp too
Awesome Tutorial. I am just getting started. Where can we buy those trays?
Do you just pour the new seeds over the stumps of the cut ones when you get ready to do your next batch?? You can reuse the dirt over and over, correct?
Lovely video, thanks. Could you share more about kelp you water your seeds with ? Where to buy it ? or how to make it at home.
Excellent
When you weigh down bigger seeds for microgreens, how do they look after 1 or 2 days? How long do they need to weigh down??
I don't think I heard you mention what type of peas you used to make pea tendril/sprouts. Are they fresh peas or dry seeds? PLEASE give more information on this topic. I'm just starting the sprouting process for my first time and very keen to learn. TFS!
Great video.
Should the water with kelp be added every time we give the microgreen water, or should it only be used the first time?
You didn't say anything about light......do the sprouts need to be in a window sill?? will they be ok on the counter with no outside light?? what about the micro greens? every video ive seen shows expensive lighting for their in door micro greens. can i grow it without the lights? can the tray be left on a table in the backyard?? need more info, thanks.
Useful ones.
QQQ question, is Dulse useful in sprouting?
What type of seeds do you buy for the peas?
Wonderful video! After soaking the seeds, for how many days do you do the twice a day rinse before placing the jar sideways in the small container?

Where did you get those small colanders?
great video half the videos say to place the seeds in a dark place unitl you harvest them, she did not mention it, what is the best method?
I'm going to try it out to see what happen!!!!
What kind of lid did you put for mason jar
Where do you get the seeds? can i get them at a whole foods market? or krogers?
I tried to go to her website, but the url isn’t working. Can you provide an up to date url. Thanks.
When growing sprouts in soil, can the same soil be used more than once for planting?
Or, after harvesting, I need to empty the tray, clean it and fill with the new growing substance (i.e. soil)
Yes
How many times can you regrow micro greens in soil?
What if you are allergic to grass pollination, tree pollination, etc. Would wheat grass be a problem?
After 5 days I had no sprouts. was it my water? The seeds? Help!
So if I get some seeds that don't sprout , are they still ok to eat ?
good video.can you please explain how can we avoid fungus in microgreens
Are sprouts & microgreens equal in nutrition?
Does the bottle lid has holes on it?
Nobody talks about sterilisation. You MIGHT get sick if you are not

Xbot4Life I was going ask about that we were told years ago bean sprouts can poison u
🌿🧠🌿Thank You🌿Will share🌿👑GOD BLESS🌿
What do you do with the kelp spray?
How many days do you rinse the seeds twice a day?
How do u get the greens in the colander? What did u use to line them, cause soil will fall out? They’re so cute.
FY30: I’m not sure what she used, but I love lining pots with plastic window screen. It’s reusable and stops soil from going through the holes.
How do I buy stuff from you?
where do you get the lid?
EXCELENTE
DO YOU SELL SEEDS
Is your business still around? Or a website that works? I would love to see what other products you carry! This is great info!
I know it is more expensive financially, but physically and ecologically would we be better to avoid the use of plastics in the process, instead using glass, ceramic or metal alternatives?
Yes and no. Metal can leach. Glass... well not a good idea for sustainability. Plastic while seemingly less green likely has a smaller environmental impact if you consider the longevity they see for its use.
Lisa T glass not a good idea for sustainability? Where on earth do you get that From?

Are growing lights necessary to grow micro greens?
if you're using the best seeds findable, you're using filtered water? ..
Why do some recommend adding water to the bottom tray when watering, rather than top watering?
Reduce chance of mould and fungi

challenge accepted 😎
your website is not up.
Also, I’d love to know how you can grow the micro greens again, not just the once.
I've watched many videos about growing micro greens and this is the ONLY one that mentions using them multiple times. Strange. Everyone else says to throw the bottom out after tops are cut off.
@@sherirex7177 only wheat grass will grow again, no other
if you cut off half of it to use to make salads, would it grow back?
also where can i get the mesh lids for the sprouts? thanks
What I do is I buy a plastic mesh screen at an art store (or Dollar Store) and I cut it in the diameter I need. The ones that you can find in the dedicated stores are way more expensive. Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada.
I ordered mine on Amazon.
Trying to figure out if she started the microgreens in the colander or transferred the plate into it to continue growing...🤔 Any ideas, anyone??
I’d be interested where to get those jar tops with the strainer.
Probably just a piece of cheesecloth
I saw them on Costco's website, named "Masontops bean screen seed sprouting kit", only the lids for the jars. with the seeds
@@T_Creates I bought mine through Amazon.
Where can we find the kelp solution ? The website listed no longer exists
Amazon.com is where I purchased mine.
I’ve never tried wheat grass. Why do you only juice it and not eat it?
Thank you for sharing. The words”micro greens” doesn’t sound so scary. I’m going to start with broccoli micro greens and chia. If I do well I’ll go to red cabbage micro greens. I had some of those from the farmers market ~omgosh they were delicious.
why cant you eat wheat grass?
Can I keep the buckwheat as a plant and not cut it ??
When do you stop rising the seeds? do you continue rising them when they are sprouting? Thank you.
did you get an answer? I was wondering the same thing. How many days do you rinse them morning & night?
For sprouts, you must rinse and drain them morning and night, until they’re as big as you like them.
Great tutorial. What about possible contamination of seeds with salmonella? How to prevent that from happening? Especially with sprouting with the not too distant happening with contaminated mung bean sprouts in stores
You can prevent bacterial growth by adding a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to the water. It doesn't hurt the sprouts.
Thank you Jim Morrison. A teaspoon every time I rinse/water?
This tip puts my mind at rest. Really appreciate that.
love the video
can you please tell me were I can by the seeds !
I hope this helps - Try iHerb and sprout house.Also some of the supplement catalogs have them. Always try to buy non-GMO and Organic. sprouthouse.com/organic-sprouting-seeds/
Wheatgrass requires what "Masticating". You need specifically a juicer that does that!
Forgive me if I missed this in the comments: Would wheat grass (unjuiced) be suitable as a fresh live grass fodder option in the winter for chickens?
Yes a saw a farmer doing it in another video. soil wasn't used and he put the seeds in a bucket.
Also feeds cows, pigs and perhaps all livestock
Very excellent.

what do you put on the lid of the jar, to let the water out?????
I’ve got some metal insect screen but you can use muslin too, even a kitchen towel will do the trick
You never explain what kelp is for, nor how to use it. You just say “use it on everything.” Do you spray it on the sprouts? Add it to the water?
she sprtiz all her microgreens with the kelp fertilizer solution! a teaspoon to a litre of water! it helps increase the nutrition content of the greens.
Where can we find the garden kelpers spray?
I ordered ours through Amazon.
Do you sell seeds?
Where do you order the kelp from?
Which ones are microgreens? Thanks!
The ones with true leaves just emerging
Do you use the kelp infused water to spray your micro greens each day as they grow?
I find it kind of suspicious that your website is appearing to be trying to hijack my search engine.
