🌷Spring Greenhouse Cleanup and Baby Chicks🐣
amazing content, thank you. How do you clean those mesh medium? scrap them and wash them by hand?
Yes, I scrape them and then wash with soap. After I soak them in a bleach water solution for about 10 minutes to sanitize.
Hi there love the show but one thing I noticed. Why don’t you black them out with a black bottom cover instead of turning them when light hits them. They need total black out. The best way for me is to cover them with a black bottom especially for the sunflowers which grow larger than most for maximum size . Just thought I’d let you know you can do that too. But great show. 😊
One reason why I don't leave my blackout domes on is because they are more susceptible to mold. I Keep them in a dark room and they get good airflow this way. I've had better luck with this method personally.
Send me the link of these trey shelf plz
amzn.to/3Zvm6zX
That's superb maam ❤
Where did you got those trays?
Bootstrap Farmer
What do you do for insurance coverage?
I use FLIP Insurance. It's $299 a year.
I wanted to know if its possible to ship boxes of microgreens as a subscription based online service instead having to deliver them in person
You probably could, but the cost of shipping and packaging would be high. You'd have to have a cooler insert and make sure it gets to the person in a short amount of time. Not sure it would be worth it because you'd have to charge a lot to cover all the expenses.
I live in south Carolina and want to start. It's very humid down here in the lowcountry. What set up would you recommend for different climates? I personally love sowing seeds in the natural state of the earth, your insight would be great!
You should have them in a temperature and humidity controlled room or greenhouse. Growing outside would be too much variation in temps. You want them to be around 70 degrees and around 50-60% humidity.
Thanks so much. You're an angel 🤍😊
Awesome, very cool to know that we can now make delicious pizza with our brand new Zojirushi breadmaker.
I got some of these mats and the first test I noticed poor germination and it seemed to take longer to grow. Any tips with this?
I did testing with and without this solution and had better results with growth when I used it... amzn.to/3XxUs3K Also, you could play around with seeding densities to see if that helps germination. For example, when I plant 11 grams of wasabi mustard most of my tray does poorly and barely germinates...but if I plant 15 grams it does great 😁
Do you know where to get moisture absorbing pads for the containers? I hear they really help them last longer
I haven't done any research on those, so not sure!
I’m starting a microgreens business and need help knowing how to sell them and I’d love to know your proceeds from 20 trays a week.
I make roughly 175-250 a week. It really depends on how they are selling at my local grocery store. I have to credit back what doesn't sell at the store, so it fluctuates weekly.
Can you do a video about how you set up your business? Did you get insurance? How do you do taxes? Did you do an LLC?
I need to do a video on this, but I can give you a quick overview here. Yes, I formed an LLC and keep track of all of my business expenses and income on a spreadsheet. I pay taxes on anything I earn that is above and beyond my write offs. I also have insurance through Flip Insurance which is $300 a year.
What temperature and humidity do you shoot for and is that year round?
I've found 68-72 is an ideal temp with humidity being around 50-60. It gets colder in my grow room in the winter so I add a couple days onto my growing time because they grow slower. Just trial and error!
Thank you for sharing this info. Now I know how many grams of seeds per tray. May I ask what is your tray size?
Shallow 10x20 trays
Thank you for. Your time and valuable information. Is that seeds and trays available in online website and delivery in india
I'm not sure. You would have to check with the companies Bootstrapfarmer.com Trueleafmarket.com
What is the name of your Bread Maker ?
Here is the link to the exact one I have... amzn.to/3ArJLGP
Ty
I really appreciate you going through the process in such detail😊 (and your website with links, easy to navigate!)
Thanks so much for your videos! You are BY FAR the best at explaining everything in detail!! I have been growing micros for years but thinking about maybe selling some now. Anyway, just to clarify, once you create your label in online labels, you CAN download to your personal files to be used forever, right? like your purple radish, for example, you can download that and use it even if your membership is expired?
Yes, you can save them as PDFs onto your computer.
Thank you!
Great video , thanks fo share! Can you please link the website where you buy this little mesh mat? Do you use it as unique substrate? Thans again!
Yes, I use it as my growing medium...I buy them on onthegrow.net
Where did you get your label stickers? For example, I created my labels in excel and print on Avery labels.
I buy them from onlinelabels.com and use their design software.
Hello! Thank you for your videos and giving so much helpful information. I too have been gathering bits of information on growing microgreens from multiple sources and your channel bridged a lot of gaps. I have a question about watering your microgreens: do you only use the hydroponic nutrients + water solution once during the growing process? Or do you use this solution every time you water your growing microgreens?
I use it every time I water my greens.
Which varieties are you able to grow with the silicon mats?
I replied on FB
Hello, I have a question if you don't mind, do you only use water or do you mix some nutrients in it before using it ?
I use this.... amzn.to/3xFYcpW
Very helpful video thank you 🙏🏻
What market (or how) research did you do to find out if micro greens were needed in your area?
My local grocery store did not sell microgreens, so I approached them. We only had microgreens at our farmers market, but nowhere that you could easily buy year round. When I approaches them, they said that they had some requests for microgreens.
Do you know of any good containers that are not plastic?
I but my packaging through webstaurant. I initially bought a biodegradable container, but it was eating up all my profits. You may want to check them out and see if they ha e another option that would be good for you!
How much do you chatge per tray to the store? Love your videos keep it going ❤
For broccoli, spicy salad mix, and purple radish I charge $3.50 for a 1.5oz container Wasabi mustard $4 per 1.5oz container Pea and sunflower $3.75 per 3oz container I would charge more if I was selling directly to a customer, but these are my bulk store prices at the moment.
@@woodstinyfarm thanks much appreciated i have a restaurant that is interested im just trying to figure s fair price without scaring them off and me still making some money 😂
Can i ask you what you are charging restaurants for 1020 trays of micro greens? I am just starting out
I only work with one grocery store at the moment.
@@woodstinyfarm may i ask what you are charging per per ounce or by tray. Ive seen prices all over the place from 5 to 6 per per ounce then im seeing per tray any place from $20 to 30 and even higher i had one person saying they charging $72 for a tray of beets😂
Great info! Thanks for the links.
I love this setup! I'm thinking about starting a rack and am interested in your hydroponic setup. Do you have a video explaining the full setup?
You may want to check out another video I made "my full microgreens growing process". Also, the racks and some of the products I use are here... sites.google.com/view/woodstinyfarmshop/microgreen-products?authuser=0
Thank you for the video. Is one minute long enough to keep them from turning blue when you pickle them?
They didn't turn blue on me, so I'm guessing yes!
@@woodstinyfarm thank you
Hey! Im starting growing microgreens and wonder what you charge for your microgreens?:)
For my bulk buyer I charge: $3.50 for my 1.5 ounce containers of broccoli, radish and spicy mix. $4 for 1.5 ounce wasabi $3.75 for 3 oz peas and sunflowers
Omg I love Becky from Acre homestead too!! I wish I would've seen this video sooner! I kept wanting to tell you brown sugar for your 4th container if you bake a lot!!
Brown sugar would have been a good choice!
How did you go about forming a relationship with the grocery store to sell your greens?
I actually knew one of the store managers who introduced me to the produce manager. I brought him samples and we had a good chat! It pays to know people!
What printer do you use for your labels? Are your labels waterproof. I grow microgreens in Nebraska
I use waterproof labels and I have an HP color Laserjet Pro M452nw.
The Republic of Ireland and I have gotten really interested in microgreens. Thinking of growing some myself.
That look so good! I'm thinking about getting the small version of this machine. I'm hoping it works for pizza dough.
Are you seeing Resturants cut back on placing orders for microgreens? We see places are more empty than usual here in North East. I was going to look into growing microgreens but I have concern they will be first thing resturants cut as things get tighter with this economy.
I'm not sure because I don't have any restaurants as my clients. It is a luxury item that people may be cutting back on.
Hey! I havent had a vacation in 3 yrs!! Microgreens are very needy. Here in Florida soil is outrageous! Promix is now $65 a bale. The silicone mats are enticing tho my first attempt didnt go well. I think Ill give it another chance.
Last time I bought dirt it was $45 a bale, but is now up to $65 here too...I knew that was the biggest expense I had to cut!
Are you printing yourself or does online printing do that?
I print them myself on a laser printer.
O i love on the grow. I have the. green trays and sprout jar. The silicone matts are great ❤ im a new subscriber to your channel.
Thanks for subscribing! 😁
Hi there! I wanted to thank you so much for your videos and content! I’m in Butte and gearing up for my first market in June. I’ve been growing in dirt, but thanks to you I’m going to try hydroponic growing! I’m so grateful for your links to barcodes, labels, and packaging as well- it’s all been extremely helpful
I'm glad my videos have been helpful! I hope the market goes well for you :)
Thanx for sharing! A lot of helpful information. Have you ever tried growing fodder? Im looking into that to help feed our chickens, goats, and pigs since feed has gotten so expensive.
No I haven't, but I give chickens the scraps after I harvest my microgreens. I feel you on the feed prices....Blowing through $ that just ends up as compost 😆
Where are your tomato trelli/cage from?
They are actually cattle panels that my husband cut and bent. They were a pain to cut, but heavier duty than a lot of the cages you find in stores.
Do you find that your harvest amounts are about the same for soil trays compared to the non soil trays? Thanks for all the great information...
Yes, they are. At the time of this video they weren't, but I figured out the trays I was using didn't allow enough water to reach all the roots. Now I'm using the black mesh trays from Bootstrap Farmer and my yields are higher again!
@@woodstinyfarm thank you
Thank you tiny farm ❤
