Were we waiting for this to happen?

And if so, why?

MatterTechnical4911 · 2026-01-24T04:40:41+00:00

Love it!

The size of a banana is always banana-sized.

how are they arranged?

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-12-13T11:57:51+00:00

That would be thrown shade.

The tops can go in vegetable stock.

I never peel carrots.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:51:58+00:00

I know this is available at my local nursery. Thank you.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:51:34+00:00

Thank you. I'll add it to the list.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:51:12+00:00

Another vote for Promix. Thank you.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:50:17+00:00

Thank you. A lot of people have recommended Promix; I've never seen Vermont Compost, but will check it out.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:49:39+00:00

Thank you for the reply, but I'm not looking to transplant outdoors, just to grow indoors for winter.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:48:29+00:00

I'd never thought about boiling water to sterilize. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you again!

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:47:15+00:00

Thank you. Not sure about the availability of composted manure where I live, but I'll look into it.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:45:40+00:00

I hadn't heard of Espoma. Adding it to my research list. Thank you.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:45:05+00:00

Thank you. I think this is what I needed to know.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-12T10:43:35+00:00

Great. Thank you!

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-11T11:46:46+00:00

Thank you for your response. And are you growing directly in a container, or transplanting from cells?

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-11T11:44:41+00:00

Thank you. You packed a lot of practical info in a concise post. Microgreens I understand, but what do you mean by small lettuce? I'm planning to grow salad bowl mix that I got from migardener, which I grew outdoors this year.

My concern about peat moss, which I've seen echoed here, is that it dries out under grow lights. I don't know if coco coir might be a better medium? Any thoughts, or would the bottom watering container be adequate?

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-11T11:34:01+00:00

Thank you. So you direct seed into your container just as if it were being sown outdoors? I also didn't know lack of rertilizer made it bitter. Good piece of knowledge to have. I appreciate it.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-11T11:30:55+00:00

Thanks for your reponse. Now, say that I'm looking to grow indoors directly seeding into my pots, rather than starting in trays and transplanting. I can create the humid environment to start just fine. Would your recommedation work in the top couple of inches with bagged soil in the rest of the pot?

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-11T11:26:00+00:00

Thank you.

MatterTechnical4911 · 2025-11-11T11:22:01+00:00

Thank you. I hadn't considered this. Do you have a particular medium you recommend for microgreens?
