How to grow Mustard microgreens:
- Mustard is a very fast grower which must not be soaked as it is mucilaginous. (Mucilage is a thick, gluey substance produces by all plants, some more than others. Basically, if you soak mustard seeds they will turn the water quite thick and you will not be able to sprinkle them onto your compost).
- Sprinkle the seeds over a tray of compost and press down gently.
- Cover with a fine layer of compost.
- It is advisable to use a micro biologically tested compost such as Klassman Peat Free Seed Compost to ensure there is nopathogens like ecoli present.
- Keep the compost moist (but not soaking).
- Best kept at a steady temperature of about 20oC
- You should see signs of germination after a couple of days.
- Cut after about ten days.
