Re: My greens are doing really nicely in the new tray I made

[Guest guest]

I am seriously thinking about it. However Im not sure what I would use for a

medium. I dont want to spend any more $ on much things right now... Maybe later

I can.

This is so interesting though!

That's EXACTLY what I did. However tonight (because the heat index is 102 here

in Brooklyn, I just took the ziplock container mikro thingee (from now on I'm

calling it Ziplock MikroFarm), and I just put it right on top of my Sprouting

Trays which are in my Cooler thingee.

They keep things nice and cool for 12 hours. I don't want to have gone to all

the trouble of making these beautiful brassica microgreens and then it gets too

hot and they might spoil. But they grew for a few days, they are beautifully

green, and tonight they will be in the cooler. I expect they will continue to be

in that cooler all summer (and not on my shelves. Now my pea shoots and other

shoots, well, they LOVE the heat. So during the summer I shall keep my

Sproutgarden trays in my cooler along with the ziplock mikrofarm and the other

trays with pea shoots, popcorn shoots,etc, well they can stay on the shelf. And

if I see that they don't like my temperature, well I'll build them their own

cooler.lol

Are you going to make a ziplock mikrofarm for yourself?

Why not do what I do (and I'm doing it now). I like to experiment. Before my

Sure to Grow mats arrived yesterday, I had to use SOMETHING. So I got organic

unbleached paper towels, took 3, wet them thoroughly, and I'm growing stuff

right now.

I am experimenting with peas. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, well, I'm

out a half cup of peas. No big thing.

But if it works, WELL, NOW THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.

lol

I just love the way microgreens grow straight up. And my chia and Flax grow

beautifully (even on paper towels)
