In the cooling box in the store, the sprouts and other so -called micro -green look so tempting. But the price! At the same time, growing this goodness at home will not give almost any work. “And then you will enjoy all the nutrients that the seeds,” says Jana Bucharová in a podcast.
You can find the counseling center not only about the microzel here:
Cress, lentils, various beans. You can easily germinate all of this on the window and we would quite guess that you have ever tried it. At least as little, with a little cress seeds on damp cotton wool. And there is nothing else that microgreens are. How simple. And in early spring, when we are damn we miss our own fresh vegetables, so so tempting.
A good selection of seeds
Everything should start. Be sure to forget the seeds that you have ready for sowing. So if it’s not your own harvest. The trade is chemically treated and the cultivation of micro -green is not suitable.
Without worries, however, use everything that is for direct consumption – for example, dried lens or mungo beans, which lies in the pantry on the shelf. Cress is usually sold straight for sowing and if you want to be sure, you can buy seeds for germination directly. And at this time they often appear in drugstores with food sections or in health food stores. Of course, you can also order them on the Internet, where you will find the widest offer. You will then grow with broccoli or radishes on the window.
Germination
To germinate seeds you can definitely try an old good trick with damp cotton wool or tissue. “And actually any material that soaks up the water,” says Jana Bucharová, expert of the magazine Recipe for garden themes. “But the substrate is a little better. You can leave the plants a little longer than just on a mat or cotton wool. And they will get a smaller amount of minerals from the soil. ”
What expert does it recommend? One that does not overflow with nutrients. “The ideal is a substrate designed for growing herbs or for rooms, but without a special dose of fertilizer. That’s enough for them. ”
Mainly do not overcome
The substrate has one more advantage. It will take you a little longer to water it out. You have to keep the seeds for successful germination. But there must be not much of that moisture. Then it would easily begin to mold. The substrate, as well as another substrate, so it is enough to moisten, never really care out. If you last, just wait a few days. And then you can start harvesting the first delicious tickets.
