Grow microgreens at home.

All you need is a shallow tray, seeds, water and a bright windowsill.

Prepare the tray

Fill a shallow container with 3–4 cm of moist potting soil. Drainage holes are helpful.

Scatter microgreen seeds evenly across the surface. Press them gently into the soil.

Mist with water, then cover the tray for 2–3 days. Keep the soil damp, not soaked.

Remove the cover after sprouting and place the tray near bright, indirect sunlight.

When the first true leaves appear, cut the greens just above the soil. Rinse and enjoy.

Easy first crops

Try radish, mustard, broccoli, peas or sunflower seeds.
