Always Having Fresh Microgreens Available

December 05, 2023 10:00 - 13 minutes - 9.15 MB

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 p...

Why I Grow Microgreens

October 18, 2023 11:00 - 17 minutes - 12 MB

There are 3 main reasons I grow microgreens for myself. Of course there is the nutritional & health benefits. Second is the fresh flavor that microgreens add to my meals. The last reason is they are fun to grow! I enjoy seeing their quick growth. Even more to the point, I love growing different varieties of microgreens. Sometimes it's a challenge, but everyday something changes. Try growing different varieties of microgreens, even if in small trays. Small trays are a great and inexpensive wa...

In Episode 46 of the Microgreens Podcast, I talk with Garrett Corwin, owner of Piedmont Microgreens, and Co-Founder of Microgreen Manager, a crop planning software built specifically for microgreen farms.

What is the Best Temperatures for Microgreens

June 13, 2023 10:00 - 19 minutes - 13.1 MB

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; humi...

March 29, 2023 10:00 - 20 minutes - 14.1 MB

In Episode 41 of the Microgreens Podcast I go over the results of a test I did using an organic fertilizer with both quick-growing and slow-growing microgreens on two different soils.

You can see the results on the show notes page at HomeMicrogreens.com/41 Here is a link to the related article: An Organic ...

March 02, 2023 11:00 - 20 minutes - 13.9 MB

In this episode of the microgreens podcast, I discuss the best way to keep seeds. Many people and organizations recommend freezing seeds. I do not think this is a good idea because there are risks. However, there are many recommendations all seed growers, brokers, retailers, and organizations do agree on. The best recommendations are mentioned in the podcast and the show notes found at HomeMicrogreens.com/39 Seed Viability Longevity Chart Lock-n-Lock Containers If you found this or any ...

February 21, 2023 11:00 - 14 minutes - 10.3 MB

However, I can give you some average yields from my trays of microgreens so you have some idea. In this podcast I tell you my average microgreen yield per tray, you can listen to the podcast to find out or go to the show notes on Home Microgreens.

Microgreens You Probably Should Be Growing

February 07, 2023 10:00 - 10 minutes - 7.55 MB

I made a mistake to what Buzzsprout was doing with their support page and well, you will get it when you listen to the episode.

Seed Density: How to Find the Right Amount of Seed for Any Size Tray

January 31, 2023 11:00 - 15 minutes - 10.6 MB

Having the right seed density for your microgreen tray is one of the three most important aspects of growing microgreens. In the past, it was a crap shoot if the seeding density was correct. There was so much conflicting and vague information on the internet. I have developed two microgreen seed density calculators that work with any size tray for (currently) 40+ varieties (more will be added). The calculators use slide bars to adjust to your tray size, and the seed density changes as the ...

The 4 Methods I Use to Germinate Microgreens

November 29, 2022 23:00 - 19 minutes - 13.5 MB

I use four methods to germinate microgreens. These are: Weighted Blackout Method Buried Blackout Method Domed Blackout Method Hybrid Blackout Method The most common method to germinate microgreens is the weighted blackout method. For most microgreens I use this method. For larger seeds, or microgreens that have a hard time shedding their hulls I use the buried method. When you grow beets and Swiss chard microgreens the buried method will remove most of the stubborn seed hulls. I also use th...

How to Use Microgreens in Food

October 10, 2022 10:00 - 9 minutes - 6.28 MB

In this episode of the Microgreens Podcast, I talk about all the ways you can use microgreens. There are many ways to use microgreens; everyone has seen them as garnishes or salad toppings. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. Not only can microgreens be used raw as toppings, but they can be used as ingredients in other foods and drinks. They can be made or added to smoothies and fruit or vegetable juices. Instead of basil, some microgreens can be turned into pestos or guacamole. I'm n...

April 06, 2022 19:00 - 18 minutes - 12.8 MB

Are You Throwing Money Away?

November 27, 2021 17:00 - 11 minutes - 8.16 MB

I always wondered how much microgreen seed is too much. So my philosophy is that I want to grow the best microgreens for each tray size and not grow just stems. In this episode of the Microgreens Podcast, we discuss the planting density of micro-lettuce. Usually, in the winter, I grow lettuce indoors as baby leaf. But several people have asked me about the planting density for micro-lettuce.  So I planted some trays with the amount of seed that popular websites suggest and others at much le...

November 02, 2021 22:00 - 12 minutes - 8.89 MB

Episode 16 Lessons Learned Growing Mustard Microgreens

October 25, 2021 20:00 - 13 minutes - 9.03 MB

I learned a good lesson this week while growing Wasabina Mustard microgreens. One would think that you can grow all mustards the same way and get good results. But, unfortunately, that was not the case with Wasabina. It got to the point where I was going to blame the seed lot on the poor results. But instead, I decided to go back to the basics and give them another try. That did the trick, as the next tray was beautiful. The lessons learned are not to assume all microgreen cultivars in a fa...

In Episode 13 of the Microgreens Podcast, we discuss how well Espoma Organic Potting Mix did in the most recent soil trial. Espoma potting mix held it's own, not quite as good as Home Microgreens potting mix but we'd use it for sure. This also leads to a discussion on how to best store soil in the home using totes. Get rid of the bags, dump the soil into appropriate sized totes. It's much easier to get the soil out of the totes than the bags. Also, use a high sided tray when filling your mic...

Removing Swiss Chard & Beet Seed Husks Without Soaking

December 04, 2020 19:00 - 13 minutes - 9.58 MB

Swiss chard and beet microgreens are beautiful and tasty! They may take a bit longer to grow than other microgreens, but worth the wait. Except for those nasty, ugly, hard, bark-like seed husks. If you've ever bitten into one of these seed husks, you'll never forget it. Grown conventionally, it's almost impossible to have husk-free microgreens. Worst, when you go to pick them off the microgreens, the husks usually take most of the leaf with it. At first, we tried soaking the seeds before p...

What is the Blackout Period for Microgreens? - 2 Methods

November 26, 2020 20:00 - 16 minutes - 11.7 MB

In this episode, we discuss the purpose of the blackout period for microgreens. As well as the two methods commonly used to blackout microgreens. The methods are the Weighted Blackout Method and the Domed Blackout method. The weighted method makes for better seed to soil contact and usually better germination and more vigorous, sturdier microgreens. The domed method is used for fragile stemmed microgreens like amaranth that don't recover from the weight bearing down on them. The blackout m...

November 21, 2020 03:00 - 15 minutes - 10.8 MB

What LED lights are best for the home microgreen grower? We discuss the LED light specifications that are needed to grow microgreens in the home. It doesn't take special grow lights to produce good microgreens. Of course, the more intensity, power, and fuller spectrum of light you can give your microgreens, the better the microgreens will grow. But the growth difference between a couple of inexpensive LED shop lights compared to a $130 grow light isn't that much. Maybe for a commercial mic...

Can You Reuse Microgreen Soil?

November 13, 2020 03:00 - 12 minutes - 8.63 MB

We are often asked, almost daily in fact, if you can reuse microgreen soil once the greens have been harvested. My old blanket answer was "No". However, we recently ran a test to see if it is possible to grow a decent tray of microgreens in reused soil. We expected some ugly trays of microgreens. But boy, were we shocked! It turns old that in some cases clipping down the old crop and planting on top of the stubble will work. The question, however, is should you reuse microgreen soil. Is the...

The best part is celery microgreens don't have to deal with the tough strings! We do not recommend that beginners start with celery because it takes patience to grow. In fact, it can take over 2-weeks before celery seeds germinate. After 30 or so days, celery microgreens are ready to harvest and can be used anywhere;...
