We will try that one day too!

Oh heerlijk! Jamin, dat brengt ook weer andere herinneringen omhoog, zoals de verse warme stroopwafels voor een euro.

Glad you enjoyed it!

My pleasure!

No, they are in weigh down until day 5. Then they go into blackout.

The bales weigh around 15 kg. It depends on how tight you press them. The quality was amazing, they were easy to handle and my ponies absolutely loved it.

You're welcome!

That is great! Glad I could help :)

Yes, it is. Happy baking!

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, but one needs to pick a tool for making a video. Another option for using a router is to use a circular saw to cut the outer edges and use a chisel to cut out the middle part. And instead of a table saw, a regular hand saw will do the trick too. Think in solutions, not issues, and try to figure out how to get it done with the tools you have laying around! Don't be afraid to be creative!

Thanks to you too!

In dit filmpje gebruikten we 38 gram zaad. In this video we used 38 grams of seed.

Microgreens are not meant to be planted anywhere afterwards. These are for eating after 10-14 days, hence the name Microgreens or also called Sprouts. For letting these plants grow taller, they are too close to each other so that might result in weak plants and a lot of competition.

I know, right?

Just as you see the true leaves appear, so pop up, is the time to harvest them. Sounds like yours are exactly at the right stage!

@@woodenshoeshomestead2884 sounds good! Thank you! I’m most likely going to harvest them tomorrow so the true leaves can pop out just a bit more because I can barely see them currently.

Another extra day never hurts. I hope you will enjoy them! Red cabbage is one of our favorites.

Thanks! For cookie dough it is absolutely not necessary to use a mixer. Good luck when you will make them, I'm sure you'll love them :)

Thank you so much! We really appreciate that.

That is actually quite simple! You weigh the amount of seed you put in at the start, and after harvest you weigh the harvested amount. With that you can easily calculate the yield per grams of seed sown, just by doing the next sum: grams yield/grams of seed sown= yield per grams of seed sown. I hope this was clear enough! If not, don't hesitate to ask :)

@@woodenshoeshomestead2884 did you subtract the grams of soil the second time?

Soil was never weighed. It is never a good idea to do so since it is very likely to vary with the amount of moisture the soil is holding. The seed was weighed in the salt shaker before and after spreading, so that the difference is the amount of seed used. The yield weight was calculated by weighing a bowl before harvesting, then started harvesting and after harvest weigh the bowl again, now filled with microgreens.

Yes, adding warmth will helping speeding up the growth. The room where we are growing our microgreens is not that hot actually, around 18 degrees C. With warmer temperatures, make sure you keep an eye on the growing speed. When the plants grow too fast, they will not get that strong and therefore tend to fall over more quickly. Anyhow, happy growing!

Een goede keuze! Ik ben er nu zelf ook weer mee bezig ;) Jij ook fijne kerstdagen!

Glad you liked it!

@@woodenshoeshomestead2884 yes, have you tried with beets microgreen

No, we did not. But the experiment is quite simple to do yourself!

In this video, we used coco coir.

@@woodenshoeshomestead2884 thanks, God bless you

You're right! Officially it is written as hügelbed.

Here, we have not seen any of those yet. I don't think it will attract any extra rodents at all, since the wood and everything is buried deep. There is at least 30 cm of soil on top.

You can use that too! It will off course break down faster compared to logs, but that does not really matter. It is just a sort of kick start to get the bed going. If you also keep feeding the soil from above, you're good to go!

@@woodenshoeshomestead2884 TY!!!!

You're welcome! We have currently 4 beds and also did not put logs in every single one, just because we did not have them on hand. It does not really matter, the branches will just break down faster than the logs, but the result should be similar! Here we found no difference between beds with logs and beds without logs.

The pictures we made of the trays were always taken before watering. We basically took the trays out of the rack, took pictures and then watered the trays afterwards. So yes, you are right. They basically are sort of dry.

You're welcome! We were looking for info on this ourselves but could not find anything. So that was how this video was born :)

​@@woodenshoeshomestead2884you just sow with only coco coir you don't use perlite to it

Yes, just with coco coir. Nothing else is needed. We supply the growing greens with nutrients in the water when we start bottom watering.

Thanks! Glad you like it.

Off course! We got our seeds at Mumm's Sprouting Seeds.

@@woodenshoeshomestead2884 I get all my organic seeds there as well, they are great.

I totally agree. They all sprout real nicely. Until now never had any issues with the seed.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! We surely will soon!

Thanks, glad we could help! And yes, the best way to start is just to get started! Enjoy your new hobby :)

Thanks! Great that you liked it :)

You're welcome! And enjoy your new hobby :)

This will surely be a big hit! It always is here though ;)

Zeker! You're welcome :)

We're sorry to hear you have such a hard time growing alfalfa microgreens. Is there mould forming or are they drying out? Are you misting your plants, or just bottom watering, or both? I hope we can find a solution for your situation.

@@woodenshoeshomestead2884 Bottom watering only once they are under light. I've had an occasional tray with mold, but it doesn't seem to effect the collapse because the non-mold trays collapse at the same rate. The only advice I could find so far was to remove the soil and try hydroponic. I'm currently trying a tray with the fiber mats, and then another tray with just silicone sheets.

I'm sorry for the late response. I somehow never got your message. After exposing to the light, I usually also keep misting the top tray. For some trays it just helps to get them through especially the first days. Regarding mold, make sure your ventilation is right. With correct ventilation, you should hardly ever get mold in your exposed trays. Trays that are still covered, until the black out phase, might get moldy because the ventilation won't reach the plants. Please let us know how it worked out! We are also curious to your fibre mat and silicone sheet results.

Die zijn zeker lekker!

Thanks! We are not in the NL anymore, but we used to live in the East. Shortly, I will also update a video on Stuffed almond cookies, in Dutch Gevulde koeken. Those are great too, in case you haven't tried to make them yourselfs yet.

@@woodenshoeshomestead2884 I have indeed tried them, but Ialways seeing recipes of things we buy pre-made, so I will enjoy the recipe.

@@MirrenTheDragonKnight Yes I know what you mean. Pre-made makes life easy, but home-made are just so much better ;)

@@woodenshoeshomestead2884 Well, of course :).
