Wanting to grow microgreens in a reusable container led Julie to experiment with the stainless steel Vertical Leafy Sprout Kit by the Sprout People.  This method can decrease the risk of pathogens and produces a greater amount of finished product than most introductory kits.

Considered the gold standard by many microgreen growers, Julie found a great germination rate when testing and utilizing the seeds designated as microgreens at True Leaf Market.  Exceptional selection and customer service.

Julie began her MG journey with a search to extend the 5a/6b growing season by planting leafy greens in halved 5-gallon water jugs next to the house!  Baby greens grew well albeit more slowly as temps cooled off.  Growing indoors seemed impossible due to the risk of soil-borne pathogens and Julie's sensitivities.  But alas, the risks are extremely low with the quick-growing microgreen systems we recommend at M4H in addition to the 3 tiers of growing systems coming soon on our SHOP NOW page.
