Sprouts and Microgreens

[tortoise]

so just a wetted paper towel? I was going to start some today, I need a boost

Yep, 3 layers of paper towel in a plastic container worked for me! The paper towel doesn't hold moisture for long, so check it daily and water if the edges of the paper towel aren't damp.

Good Morning, cup#2,
In the late fall and winter months I have always grown sprouts.
I have had this set up for 30 years.

I have organic beans and grain that I have used as sprouts. Adzuki beans, red wheat etc.
Last year I ordered a big can of seed from True Leaf Market "Handy Pantry"

I do let my sprouts get taller than the tray, but sometimes we eat them to soon.
I like both, sprouts and microgreens. https://practicalgrowing.com/microgreens/difference-sprouts-shoots-microgreens/
I just need to get a good microgreen set up from True Leaf Market https://www.trueleafmarket.com/


This is a pic from last Dec. I have kombucha, sourdough and sprouts going.
