In today’s fast-paced world, finding ways to incorporate nutritious, fresh food into our diet can be a challenge, particularly for those with busy lifestyles or limited space.

  • 3 Seed Varieties: Broccoli Special Mix, Rocket, and Kale. These varieties are not only delicious but also offer a range of health benefits.
  • 6 Reusable Bamboo Saucers: These saucers are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic. Made from sustainable bamboo fibre, rice starch, and resin from naturally occurring organic compounds, they are free from petroleum-based plastics and BPA. This makes them safe for your family and the environment.
  • 12 Coconut Coir Discs: These discs are used as a growing medium. Coconut coir is renowned for its natural properties that help in the healthy growth of plants, as well as being an eco-friendly choice.
  • Instructions: The kit comes with a detailed instruction guide, making it easy for beginners to start growing microgreens right away.
  • 100% Organic and Lab Tested: Our seeds are Soil Association Certified and guaranteed to have a high germination rate. This ensures that you get the most out of every pack.

The bamboo saucers in our kit are not just eco-friendly but also durable, designed to last for a minimum of 5 years. This long lifespan ensures that you can continue to use them for multiple microgreen crops.

After their lifespan, these saucers can be composted. Although they take 6-12 months to fully compost, breaking them up can speed up the process.

Each microgreens growing kit contains enough seed to grow 12 trays of microgreens.

Instructions

Microgreens Kit Growing Instructions

Day 1:

  • Take one of your terracotta bamboo saucers and place a coconut coir disc in it.
  • Add 35-65 ml of hot water to moisten the coir, ensuring it is damp but not too soggy. Spread the coir evenly across the saucer.
  • Sprinkle approximately 5g or 1 teaspoon of seeds into the moistened coir. Spread them evenly, avoiding clumping.
  • Cover with the green saucer to block light but retain moisture.

Day 2:

  • Check on your microgreens. If the coir feels dry, open the cover and lightly spray them with water morning and evening. The medium should be moist but not soggy.
  • Continue the process from day 2 until the seeds have germinated, which usually occurs between days 5 and 7. Germination time can vary depending on warmth. If they aren’t germinating, they might be too dry, so add more water.

Day 5-7:

  • Once germinated, expose the microgreens to light. Place them in a well-lit position, such as a window sill, and monitor their water levels. To water, tilt the saucer slightly and add water around the edge to avoid damaging the leaves.

Day 7-10:

  • The greens are ready to harvest once they reach over 5cm in length. Use scissors or a sharp knife to cut them at the base.
  • We recommend growing only one crop per grow. While they may regrow, the second crop is often sparse and less reliable. After harvesting, dispose of the soil responsibly and start a new batch.
