I just planted my first ever microgreen seeds today! Hurray! I can't wait to find out how they taste.
Please tell me where you get the black sunflower seed from?
Hi there, I loved this video, thank you so much for sharing. I have been wanting to start microgreens for quite some time now and you make it look so easy. I do have a question though, can you reuse the growing medium once you harvest the microgreens from it? Thank you so much!

Bwen growing microgreens in my room with coco coir only, works great! Im going to try coco fiber sheets next to make things cleaner. I like using them on burritos and wraps!
What is a cheap grow light for beginner users? I would like to try this without breaking the bank and have limited space…thank you!!
I just got a full spectrum gro light. Can’t wait to do this.
Great tip about stacking them up to squash them. How do you know when to unstack them? won't this stop the shoots coming up?
Hi I grow mine in a glass jar and rinse everyday, thank you.
Great idea! My seedlings have produced microgreens already. I will harvest some now!
I've been growing microgreens since last year, try dried marrowfat peas far cheaper buy in supermarket, under a £1 500grms hydrate them Grow max 2in harvest , as stalk gets tougher, far cheaper and taste great
Great information best on site .
Dude, you got the sauce
Great video. How often can you reuse the potting soil.?
Will they continue to grow once they have been cut?
Do these keep growing once you've cut them or not ???
This is a really great. My only comment would be that I wanted to find out when you should harvest micro greens which wasn't explained beyond 'harvest them when they are the size you want' which is a little vague 🙂
TIPS! A double or tripple layer of kitchen tissue as growing medium is perfectly fine. Keeps the sprouts and shoots clean; needs no clensing befor serving…
I just grew sweet corn to test the seeds from last year’s garden and was surprised that they sprouted because they were hybrid. But my chef friend mentioned eating them as micro greens and it shocked us how sweet and delicious
Awesome video thanks.
What do u do after harvest?
Re-use the soil possible?
What do you do with the compost and cut stems after cutting off the microgreens please?
Fantastic video, I so appreciate how short and straight to the point your videos are. Can’t wait to try it!
Also, do you add any kind of fertilizer when growing micro greens?
Will the remaining growth after you cut the greens regrow another crop?
Thank you for your video, and I have subscribed! Excellent tutorial explaining simplistic cultivating techniques indoors. is inspiring for me. Cultivating looks doable for me I am ready to extract black-oil sunflower seeds and fill my own plate! Cheers! – Lorraine
Once you cut the shoots off, do they grow again or do you have to start again with new seeds?
You are wonderful, Ben!!! I used to grow wheatgrass, harvest it like you did here with a scissors, and juice it. Pretty wild flavor, for sure and for certain! Not for the faint in heart.
