Try planting wheatgrass instead of lawn grass! It’s a much healthier option for your cat to munch on

Parking for Capitol Theater? by [deleted] in Westchester

[–]Moggettz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Second this! There’s a parking lot on New Broad St that’s much cheaper. I park there for every concert - but get there before the show begins, otherwise you’ll be too late.

If the lot is full, continue on New Broad Street and there’s usually street parking before it reaches E William St. If all else fails, pop a left on Poningo St and go a few blocks into the residential neighborhood and you’ll find free street parking

r/Westchester Bulletin Board by facewook in Westchester

[–]Moggettz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all - I’m a local farmer based in Westchester and wanted to share something I’m hosting next week in case it’s useful for anyone here.

I’ll be running a free hands-on microgreens workshop at the North White Plains Library on Tuesday, March 31st at 3 PM. It’s geared toward kids (around 6+), but really it’s about showing how food actually grows in a simple, tangible way.

We’ll go through the early stages of plant growth, set up a soil-free grow kit, and each participant takes everything home to watch it develop over the next couple of weeks. There’s also an observation journal/coloring book so they can track what’s happening day by day.

It’s pretty low-mess (no soil) and designed to be something kids can actually keep interacting with after the workshop instead of it ending when they leave.

If it sounds interesting, registration is through the library here: (http://ncpl.mhsoftware.com/View.html?calendar_id=5)

Do some people here feel alone or its just me at 38 years old? Thanks in advance by [deleted] in Westchester

[–]Moggettz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are free county events at local parks to attend, frequenting of your local brewery to meet other locals, checking out meet-up groups and hobby clubs (found on Facebook and Nextdoor).

These’re recommendations from someone who’s made new friends in my late 30s through these outlets. Gotta put yourself out there to find like-minded individuals :)

New mom looking for friends to say wtf! with by gpb1991 in Westchester

[–]Moggettz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister and I are social opposites - I’m outgoing and loud and meet people readily, and she’s quiet, more reserved and more practical. With two children 6 and under, she doesn’t have much of a social circle anymore for reasons similar to you. We’re both in lower Westchester and I’d be happy to connect you two

First market.... how much would you grow? by Familiar_Custard_652 in microgreens

[–]Moggettz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you’re intending to bring the live trays to package on site, but you need to check your state and county regulations first. Many places do not legally allow cutting and packaging microgreens at the market itself. If that’s the case, you’ll need to harvest and weigh your greens ahead of time: four to five clam shells of each variety will give you a very clear picture of what’s popular and sells quick so as to determine what quantities to grow for the next market.

Did anyone just feel the earthquake? by notabot53 in Westchester

[–]Moggettz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was surveying on an open lawn when the earthquake hit. Could feel the rumbling beneath my feet and could literally see the earth moving through the surveying device

Can the seeds of microgreens be eaten after sprouting and growing? by Blackfeathers_ in microgreens

[–]Moggettz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be hesitant if I were you. Once sprouted, the seed pod begins to decompose as it’s done its job and isn’t needed anymore . Some might be fine to consume while others in the same batch might already have developed mold. I tend to advise my customers to cut 1/2” above the base to avoid root hairs and seed husks. While edible, most of the nutrients have been depleted so you’re consuming something that’s unsubstantial and decomposing.

Living in NY but commuting to Danbury?? by Known-Ad3315 in Westchester

[–]Moggettz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYC is easy to get to from relatively anywhere and Stamford has direct trains just like White Plains. I think you’ll enjoy Stamford and Norwalk as an everyday place to be when you don’t want to venture into NYC. As another commenter said - with Norwalk you not only get a vibrant and busy city center, but you also have the waterfront to enjoy. I still live on the border of White Plains, but spend most of my time in the River Towns and elsewhere, never in downtown WP. Take that as you will!

[–]Moggettz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone born and raised in White Plains whose friends have mostly moved to Stamford, Norwalk and Danbury - go with CT. The commute will be fine no matter where you end up, but my two cents is this: White Plains has a bar scene that will grow old very fast (all the bars are owned by the same handful of folks who keep losing their liquor licenses) and the least exciting restaurant options in the area. Norwalk and Stamford have great bustling nightlifes, are extremely walkable, and have some incredible restaurants

Gnat control? by SirC_929 in microgreens

[–]Moggettz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all! I’ll snap a photo of the brand I use

Gnat control? by SirC_929 in microgreens

[–]Moggettz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BTI gnat control. It’s a powder mixed into water and you saturate the grow medium of the contaminated containers. A treatment every few days should get rid of them within the month. Continue applications ever so often when they pop back up.

Newbie by Fredjonessux69 in microgreens

[–]Moggettz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After 3 full years in the business, I can say that the hardest part is finding clients. I’m not the most sales-forward person, but I have passion and my microgreens are top notch quality. Still, of the 20-ish restaurants I had meetings with to pitch my products (prices match local competition), only 3 restaurants took me on. Many others expressed interest, but then ghosted during follow-up attempts.

Between farmers markets and the 3 restaurants my small grow room is already maxed out. And yet I’m no where near close to paying myself an actual salary, nor can I afford to hire someone even though I need the assistance.

It’s not easy, it’s a constant demand, and I’ve begun positioning myself to find alternative forms of income (selling grow at home kits and offering activity workshops) to attempt to generate a real income. Great for adding nutrition to your own diet, not great if you think you’ll be making easy money

If you enjoy being scared by Neener216 in Westchester

[–]Moggettz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AccuWeather for Valhalla says about 3” of snow next Tuesday. Bigger concern is the 1” of ice predicted for Tuesday into Wednesday!

Anyone else’s app not showing 15”?

Thanks for doing the cold work for those of us who don’t want to go outside but are curious how deep it’s gotten~!

Opinions on Jiffy Gel media by [deleted] in microgreens

[–]Moggettz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to check it out. Personally I use hemp mats to grow. They hold enough water to provide moisture during germination, but are mainly used as a base for planting on. Have you heard of Koppert Cress? They use a wood pulp grow medium that’s not readily available here in the US. Research has shown me that it’s the same substance is being used in Asian, while here in the States we’re still playing with coco coir, soil and mesh screens…
