Ideal Temperature: 20°C

Seeding Rate: Sow 20 - 30g per microgreen tray or 5 - 8g per small seed tray

Pre Soak: No

How To Grow:

• Fill a tray with compost. Firm into tray and moisten the soil.
• It is advisable to use a micro biologically tested compost such as Klasmann Peat Free Seed Compost to ensure there are no pathogens present.
• Sprinkle the seeds over compost and press down gently. You can cover with a fine layer of compost but it is not necessary.
• Spray the seeds with water.
• Cover seeds with another tray to keep in darkness for 2-4 days or until germination occurs.
• Once seeds have germinated, remove cover and place in area with light.
• Keep the compost moist (but not soaking).
• Best kept at a steady temperature of about 20°C. You should see signs of germination after a few days.
• Can be cut after about 10 days but waiting longer will let true leaves develop fully.

Harvesting: When you are happy with your crop then cut your greens close to the bottom and gently rinse off any compost. If you feel they are getting too big they can all be harvested together and stored in a container in the fridge to keep fresh.
