I hope you’ll enjoy growing with our indoor growing kits – if you would like to find out more please contact [email protected]. The grow kits are to help you begin growing in your home.
The standard ‘microgreen’ kit, created with Mother Gardens, Spring to Life and Sustainable Life. contains three instruction cards, some soil, cress seeds, marrowfat dried peas, some compost and a wooden lollipop stick:
The kits contain everything you need to grow microgreens from scratch (pea shoots and cress seed), ready to eat in two to three weeks on your windowsill. ‘Microgreens’ are little seedlings of edible plants that adds nutrition and flavour to meals.
You can use the tin container of the pack as a seed tray or make your own using a washed juice or milk container. These will fit nicely onto most windowsills – cut a rectangle out of the middle of one side, leaving 1 cm gap from the edge to add some strength, then fill with any general compost or soil (see picture)
Other ‘microgreens’ include Broccoli, Cabbage, Radish, Mustard, Fennel, Chia, Cauliflower, Spinach, Chard, Mint, Dill, Basil, Coriander, Rosemary, Cumin and Fenugreek.
Please also check out other things you can grow on your windowsill for free, and think about what you might want to plant in your garden, outside your house or in a community garden. Happy growing!!
