Description
You can now grow your own microgreens in your own home with this specially made terracotta kit. It’s cleverly designed to make the germination more efficient and attention has been focused on making it look nice in your kitchen or dining room. Simply snip your greens and sprinkle to add flavour and nutrients to any meal. You can use them in a salad, in a sandwich, as a condiment to give an extra pop of colour and fresh flavour to your meal…the possibilities are endless!
The kit, which comes in 2 colours, comprises the terracotta grower base + lid, a packet of Mustard & Cress microgreen seeds, a packet of Radish Rambo seeds, and 3 discs of the very popular gardener’s wool.
Available in red clear glazed terracotta or glazed turquoise. Comes in its own box so this is ideal as a gift!
Measures 16cm diameter x 4cm high, weight 1.25kg, boxed
Instructions for use:
- Place a disc of felt in the base and water it quite well. Wool is hygroscopic, meaning it can hold a surprising amount of water without feeling wet (this is why gardeners love it!). Keep adding water until it feels damp but not soggy.
- Lightly sprinkle the seeds over the felt. Don’t use them all up, there’s enough in the packet for several goes.
- Put the lid on so that it squashes the seeds into the felt.
- Leave it somewhere for 24 hours.
- Flip the lid, so the seeds aren’t being squashed anymore but they’re still in the dark.
- Leave it another 24 hours.
- Take the lid off and peer in expectantly. The seeds should have germinated. Put the lid underneath, so it becomes the base.
- Leave them somewhere light and water every so often so the felt is damp to touch.
- Harvest the microgreens once they’re big enough to eat.
