Container:
A flat container with drainage is most appropriate for microgreens. Drainage will allow for excess water to escape and allow grow media to dry between waterings.

Watering:
Water 1-2 times daily with spray bottle. Evenly moisten top layer of soil. If possible use a plastic dome the first few days to keep humidity high.

Planting:
Scatter seeds evenly on top of soil. Press gently into soil. Do not overcrowd seeds. Once seeds are scattered evenly place a thin layer of grow media over the top.

Harvesting:
Harvest microgreens when you think they look ready. Most microgreens are ready between 10-15 days after germination. cut just above soil and wash thoroughly
