Re: Sure to Grow Pads. I have a question

[Guest guest]

I thought Sure To Grow pads would be a great option, and many people swear by

them, however I had no success growing sunnies on them. The sunflower greens had

a funny, almost fishy off taste when I grew them on the pads. Inedible!!! For

myself, soil is best for the sunflower greens, sprinkled w/ a bit of earthworm

castings, as recommended by Sproutpeople.

Sure to Grow Pads. I have a question

Hi All.

Before I get started in my sunflower sprouts quest, I'm still looking at

various soil less growing mediums.

I just found this option.

Seems ideal.

So here's some questions. Can this be used in my glass pie plates to grow

sunflower sprouts. (there are no drain holes). or does this medium need to be in

those rectangle trays with the drain holes?

So if anyone has grown microgreens in this medium, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks much

So I use this sure to grow pad instead of regular soil. I don't have to put

drain holes in it, and (there's a video on this up on youtube), the guy has one

of those 11 by 20 growing trays, he puts in this sure to grow pad, he waters it,

he sprinkles seeds, he again waters it and then he puts a humidity dome.

I don't have this setup. I have two pie plates, and no humidity dome. So from

what you indicate, I don't need any humidity dome. I just use my pie plates and

in 7 to 10 days I'll have sunflower sprouts.

If this is so, believe me, I'm going with this, and I'll take my newly purchased

organic soil, go in front of my house where I have this big rectangular flower

pot, and grow fresh basil and other herbs right in front of my house (like I did

last year) but now I have new organic soil.

Sound like a plan??

Mel,

Turn your upper plate upside down and you have a humidity dome. Just remember

don't over water. You don't want your seed too wet. They will mold and make you

unhappy.
