After you get good at growing broccoli micro greens you can grow many other seeds with the exact same method. I like the set it and forget it idea. No daily watering is necessary. It took me four years to perfect the method and to figure out the very best growing medium. Soil would work but it is too dirty for me. I like clean. Other mediums work also, but I like free.
A window sill works just fine when it is time to let the micros turn green. You don't need lights.
In the picture there is some Kratky style hydroponic lettuce in the back. The lettuce absolutely needs to be under lights. The micro greens do not. I have the lights so I use them.
In the front row are:
Sunflower shoots
Pea Shoots
Cabbage micro greens ready to harvest
Broccoli micro greens almost ready to harvest. They get a bit taller than cabbage. You will be getting broccoli seeds in your kit.
Another tray of cabbage micro greens that will be ready in another five days or so.
Needless to say, I eat a big green salad every day all winter. And I grew it myself. Not only that the sulfuraphane content of broccoli sprouts is 40 times higher than in mature broccoli. Check out Rhonda Patrick on youtube. She will have your head spinning as she explains all the pathways how broccoli works in the body to prevent a certain disease I won't say here, but you can guess what it is.
I'd rather prevent than need some cure later. The fact that an ounce of broccoli sprouts is worth a pound of broccoli brings new meaning to an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Two teaspoons of broccoli seeds make one ounce of broccoli micro greens in 10 days. The one pound bread pan gives that amount. Thanks. Marilyn
