Thompson & Morgan Microgreens Aromatic Seed Grow Kit

Make growing microgreens at home easy with our Microgreens Aromatic Seed Grow Kit. This handy kit contains everything you need to get going, including biodegradable growing pots, expandable plugs, labels and snips! Perfect for adding extra taste to your sandwiches, salads and wraps, this kit contains Garlic Chives, Salad Rocket Victoria, Mustard Red Carpet, Mizuna Green Mix and Perilla/Shiso Red, bringing not just impressive flavour but a splash of colour and pleasing texture. Quick and easy to grow, these seeds can be grown all year round indoors or in a warm greenhouse, ready to be eaten as young seedlings. Sow microgreens thickly in pots or trays, on the surface of a good quality, free draining seed compost. Do NOT soak the seed prior to sowing. Water gently to settle the soil. Grow on a bright, sunny windowsill at an average temperature of 21-25C (70-75F). Do not exclude light as this aids germination. In winter, pots can be sealed inside a clear plastic bag or placed in a propagator to maintain adequate germination temperatures. Sow seed every 10 days for a continuous supply. Keep the compost reliably moist until seedlings have developed. Microgreens can be harvested from around 10 -14 days after germination, when seedlings are around 5cm (2") tall. The coir discs should be set on a tray or saucer, add lukewarm water and they expand up to 7 times their size. Add water in stages if needed. Once expanded, drain excess water and place each expanded pellet into one of the supplied biodegradable pots. Firm down to knock out any air gaps in the pots. Water again before sowing to ensure the biodegradable pot is full saturated and takes on a darker appearance. Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results. Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (e. g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
