A variety of plants can be grown successfully in a small indoor garden such as the microgreen indoor garden. These plants include basil, chives, dill, echinacea, lemon balm, mint, olive, sage, sweet pea, tarragon, yarrow, marjoram and thyme. The best way to get these herbs is through the planting of seeds at home.
Some herbs do not come up well when they are planted outside. This is why it is important to plant microgreens growing indoors. When you purchase seeds for your microgreen indoor garden you will probably notice that some are larger than others. Some seeds may even have seeds in them that are too small. These tiny seeds will germinate in the smallest amount of time and they will germinate quickly.
In order to provide your microgreen indoor garden with all of the moisture and nutrients that it needs to grow properly you will need to make a plastic salad container or Terra cotta pot. Purchase one that has a hole at the bottom and line it with black garbage bags. Fill the Terra cotta pot with water until it has no more water left in it. When this is done you will need to remove the black bags and put them in the refrigerator to freeze.
You should make an area inside your house that will be where your plants will grow. Since microgreen growing microgreens is a delicate plant that can easily be destroyed if it is planted in the wrong place it is extremely important that you make sure that your house is not a risk. Once you have made your planting area, you should put pots on top of the pots to start your plant life off. Most herbs like a sunny location for planting so try to keep an open window or door that will allow enough light into your house during the hours that the plants will be growing. You will also want to find a good spot that will get some sun all day long. Another consideration when choosing a spot to plant your herbs is if you have any drainage problems in your yard this can be a real problem so try to find areas near a sprinkler head that you can run your sprinkler water over to help with any water issues.
If your microgreen growing system does not come with a plastic salad container then you will need to purchase one. There are many different sizes and models of plastic pots available. The most important thing to consider is how large of a container you want to purchase. If you only plan on planting a single crop then a smaller container will be more than sufficient. For a larger garden you will want to look at purchasing several smaller containers that will allow you to alternate which crop you will be growing each season.
The microgreen indoor garden that you are growing will provide you with top quality soil that will provide your plants with everything they need to grow to their maximum potential. One of the secrets behind healthy soil is that it contains a higher level of nutrients are needed by plants to grow. It has been found that the mature counterparts of the plants that you select to use in your microgreen growing system contain a much higher concentration of these nutrients in comparison to the leaves that are found within your very own garden soil.
For this reason the best microgreen growing system to use is a moisture-enriched seed starting mix. These mixes are full of everything that you will need to make your plants thrive. Your first step is to select the type of seeds that you would like to use. Many people start out by selecting popular, warm-season plants that are available on the market. If you are unable to locate these seeds, it will be easier to locate the nutrient dense ginseng and brassica seed starting mix that will work perfectly for your growing plants.
The microgreen growing system that you will choose is the next step. Many of the stores that sell these microgreens will have helpful information and will provide you with an opportunity to ask questions. You will find that they will have complete instructions with their sales presentation that will include not only a detailed list of the microgreens that they offer but will also include complete information on how to care for your newly purchased microgreens. Microgreen indoor plants will offer you years of enjoyment from them and can easily become one of your most favorite plants in your home.
