How do you feel about microgreens?

So I've got my microgreen growing going, I had my first ones back in early April, they take ten days to grow.  My goal is to do it as often as possible, obviously other things come up, but generally speaking.  Due to a vacation and then surgery I had to wait inbetween but I'm on day 6 of my current batch, I think tomorrow they'll really start getting plant-like, day 7 was the day last time, and I've figured out how to do it with less water, as too much can lead to almost-mold.  My first batch didn't get moldy, but it came close, I gave them a bit more water than they really needed.  Now I feel like I'm getting it even better figured out.

I don't ever see myself using this, or any of my gardening really, as a side-hustle, its more for us and our friends/family when we have excess.  But right now we're still in the patio growing-in-pots stage.  But cucumbers are prolific, and I'm growing a pot of cucumbers, so we'll see

Good luck to you, Riona!

I think Whether or not Micro greens are financially viable, even comes back to cost of seeds.

Someone locally is producing micro greens and selling them.  A friend has subscribed, and I have eaten some very surprising sprouts.  Cantaloupe sprouts, in particular, and it made me think of all the seeds I throw away each time I have no chickens …  i think a person could sprout a lot of “free” cantaloupe seeds, also squash, pumpkin, etc.

And, if I did have chickens, if I dried and saved the summer seeds, and sprouted them in winter, I bet they would be a lot more nutritious!

It seems lile microgreens for home use is an untapped resource!

I learnt a lesson with my most recent crop, I thought I could leave them be for 2 days instead of checking them every day, bad idea, they clumped together and had mold on the bottom of the clump.  So even if you only give them water every other day (an option in my house since its not humid here), you need to shake them up and shift them around so they don't clump like that, I had to toss them.  I need to save the rest of our mustard seeds for cooking, so I must go to the feed store and buy a bag of bulk seeds before resuming my microgreen growing.
