How to microgreen farm, a must watch! TINY LEAF FARM - S1 E1

Welcome to Tiny Leaf microgreen farm, Tyron and Cassie will show you around their small urban farm and explain the process of being a microgreen farmer along with the ups and downs of the business.

Microgreen farming is a method of growing very young vegetable greens or herbs, typically harvested when they are only a few inches tall and have just developed their first true leaves. These tiny plants are packed with flavor, nutrients, and vibrant colors, making them a popular choice for garnishes, salads, sandwiches, and a variety of culinary dishes.

Here's an overview of the key aspects of microgreen farming:

Plant Selection: Microgreens can be grown from a wide range of plant seeds, including lettuce, kale, arugula, basil, cilantro, radish, mustard, and many others. These seeds are chosen for their taste, texture, and color.

Growing Medium: Microgreens are typically grown in a soilless growing medium, such as peat moss, coconut coir, or a hydroponic system. These mediums provide essential support and moisture for the growing plants.

Containers: Microgreens are often grown in shallow containers or trays with good drainage. These can be plastic trays, seedling flats, or even recycled containers like salad clamshells.

Light: Adequate light is crucial for microgreen growth. Natural sunlight or artificial grow lights can be used. Microgreens are usually grown indoors or in a greenhouse to have better control over the light and temperature conditions.

Watering: Microgreens require regular and consistent watering. Overwatering or underwatering can harm their growth. A gentle mist or a watering can with a fine spray is often used to avoid disturbing the delicate seedlings.

Temperature and Humidity: The optimal temperature and humidity levels may vary depending on the specific microgreen variety, but generally, they thrive in moderate temperatures with good air circulation.

Harvesting: Microgreens are typically ready for harvest within 1 to 3 weeks after sowing, depending on the variety. They are harvested when the first true leaves (the second set of leaves) appear. The entire plant is cut just above the soil line.

Uses: Microgreens are popular in culinary applications as they add flavor, texture, and visual appeal to dishes. They are commonly used as garnishes, in salads, sandwiches, wraps, and as ingredients in various recipes.

Nutrition: Microgreens are known for their high nutritional value. They can contain a concentrated amount of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to their fully mature counterparts.

Microgreen farming is appealing to home gardeners, chefs, and commercial growers because it allows for the cultivation of fresh, flavorful, and nutritious greens in a relatively small space and with a relatively short growing cycle. It's a sustainable and efficient way to produce fresh greens year-round.

Wonderful to see how growing Micros takes on many different shapes and techniques to grow. I saved a lot of time with bubble washing my trays and presoaking the grow medium with hot water 12 hours prior to use. Grow mix absorbs the water over night and then it goes into a tumbler to break up the clumps and to separate larger wood pieces. Bottom watering is a must and I do that with flood trays rather than watering each tray individually. Great operation! Peace and Love❤❤❤

Nice pod guys. I'm considering a move into micros... Need to find solutions for the plastic packaging tho, that doesnt fit at all :)

[leechild]

Great first episode guys. Really interesting content and well presented. I am heading out to buy some seeds ;-)

Hey I was looking at your compost pit and thought of an idea that might help ease the process of breaking all that down. Try using a 31 gallon steel trash can, a handheld electric mud mixer (milwaukee makes a good one), and a pro mixing paddle with a 7 inch head. It should break all that up with ease.

(If you don’t want to deal with batteries and want a more robust drill Ridgid makes a corded one that has auger handles)
