Are You Throwing Money Away?

Microgreens Podcast

I always wondered how much microgreen seed is too much. So my philosophy is that I want to grow the best microgreens for each tray size and not grow just stems.
In this episode of the Microgreens Podcast, we discuss the planting density of micro-lettuce. Usually, in the winter, I grow lettuce indoors as baby leaf. But several people have asked me about the planting density for micro-lettuce.
So I planted some trays with the amount of seed that popular websites suggest and others at much less density.
This podcast summarizes the results.
Using lettuce as an example, it appears that many people are throwing money away by over-seeding their microgreen trays. Using less seed can be more economical for those that grow microgreens at home for their own use.
Even though the experiment uses lettuce, more than likely, it will apply to other microgreens as well.
Of course, Home Microgreens will test this theory.
That's what we do!
