I'm soo jealous of your wife! Lucky lady! I just love "simple men" money savers and don't take money for granted. Thank you for great videos!
Another great video. I really like how you don't get too technical. Low maintenance, and if it works it works. No stress.
So glad to see this. I've been wary of all these gardeners using plastic containers. They do leach chemicals into the soils which get into the plants snd then into us!!!
Easily one of the best tutorials. Real! Thanks!
Your directions are on point! My late father a Native Hawaiian spoke just like you! He would say "brah, we wing it eh"! Never once did any of his harvests flop. He couldn't read or write English BUT he taught me so much about certain ONO plants that help to fight sickness. Thank you for sharing. Mahalo 🤙
One of the best uploads I’ve seen in ages 🙏👍👍I have those pebbles but never thought of using them with micro greens 😁
Not a new grower but new to your channel. I really like your videos and appreciate the simple format. It’s easy to understand your methods and you give a lot of detail on the products you use. I’m getting a little older and transitioning to growing more on shelves and indoors. Also, love growing micro greens and I like how simple your methods are…mine are too involved! lol
we love you❤ thank you for your continued service to humanity ❤ aloha from big island 🏝️
Great video. Thanks for the clay pebbles idea. I'm new to Microgreens.
I definitely will be doing a deep dive into this channel. Thanks so much.
So glad to see this! Can’t wait for more details.
Great job Mike!
Thanks so much for this, I just put some of the hydroton/ Leca balls in my cart on Amazon. Can’t wait to try them!
Been super excited to see this.
I love the glass container idea! 👍👍👍
Great video, Mike! Really loved this one!! Thank you.🕊
Great info Mike, thank you.
Love this video, you explained it so well
Love this channel! You make growing easy and relaxing.
I’ve been struggling with microgreens. I’ve been using bricks to weigh them down for a few days, and then a couple days in blackout, then introduce them to light. It’s been kinda hit or miss for me, some just didn’t work out. This seems to be a great way to grow them, and when you’re talking cheap and easy, I’m thinking the clay pebbles will last a very long time, so you’re definitely saving in the long run
Yeah, I got tired of losing entire trays of microgreens. This way if something goes sideways, it's just a small amount.
10 lbs of clay pebbles on the way!
Great idea!! I’m amazed every video I watch! This is definitely going to be tried. Perfect for an apartment!
Thank you👍
New to watching your videos. This is one of the best for the mixed greens. Thank you!
Salsa jars would be ideal ( Australia). ❤😊
Great video, and great idea.
Thank you Mike!
Another great video. I'm going to try this with pottery shards smashed down little.
❤❤❤ thank you for sharing everything
Awesome video and the containers are the bomb. Will have to use something else ....
I love this.
Thank you
Thank you so much from Bhaarat
Almost forgot Love from England 🏴
Love this!!👍🙄💖
What type of algae grows? Beneficial for the symbiosis of the micro-Gs?
Great video. The clay pebbles are the best medium for quickly being able to be reused. Where is your best place to source microgreen seed varieties in bulk? Subscribed!
I use True Leaf Market. Thank you very much!
Hello~Where i can get the bowl like that?
But Mike..the short plastic containers I've been waiting for the perfect use for are dying to participate...
I'm a beginner - there are quite a few types of clay balls and companies that sell them. Which one do you recommend? LECA or not? Thanks.
Dollar Tree has similar jars for $1.25 each
I got my growing containers for free - raiding the recycling bin at my apartment complex - if you search for free ones, you can find them.
Hey Mike, question..... I grow lots of microgreens, tks to you. I never get the true leaves or 2nd set b4 the micros start falling over and need to be harvested. What's up with that??? Mahalo for any response.
Nutrients or just water? Also experiment with density.
I would love it if you would share the discount store name you found the glass bowls! Thank you in advance
I don't know. They just bring things in and dump them in bins. Starts at $10 one day and drops to $1 by Wed.
Sounds like a Florida flea market to me … if you search discount glass bowls you should find some deals…you’ll also find glass pipes so you may have to refine your search lol
Can you grow with regular pebbles? Pea gravel would be heavy, but could work? Maybe?
clay pebbles retain moisture
Do you have to wash the clay pebbles in a particular way to reuse them? And what do you think about using bokashi compost instead, and simply recycling what's left (after you cut them) back into the compost? I live in Playa del Carmen and I'm wondering if there are particular issues to consider when growing them in a tropical climate. And also, if I get to the point of selling them, wondering what is the best way to package/present them to buyers so that there is minimal or no waste or cost and they preserve well...
You don't know until you try. I don't sell so I can not advise on that. The bokashi sounds like a good idea.
I found glass containers at dollar tree with plastic lids, but the lid is solid/closed. Should I just cut an x shape into them like the lids you have here?
Well, I'm watching your other course and I went astray. Last night, I used wet pellets with lots of plain water for eight different small containers. I sprayed the seeds with plain water and covered with foil. I put bottles of water in three or four of them. Think I have any hope? Garage is probably around 70 to 80 degrees in the day.
Microgreens will grow with just water, I add nutrients to get them bigger.
@KeepOnGrowin I forgot to do bok choy so I put that out with the nutrient mix this afternoon.
Hi 👋 Can I ask what the "master blend" is please?
It is a fertilizer used for traditional and hydroponic gardens. Here is my video ua-cam.com/video/SaN6Dlf2hCg/v-deo.html
Do you wash and dry the seeds before putting them in?
no
what about food grade silicone mats?
Up to you. I believe you can make just about anything work.
Wonder if this will work in mason jars?
Yes, definitely
Hi thankyou for the video, can you pull the plants out instead of cutting them and consume the roots too please and thankyou 😊
I would not, the water has been sitting for a week and it is in nutrients, not for consumption.
@@KeepOnGrowin thankyou very much for your reply. That's brilliant thankyou.
Can you use any seeds to do microgreen for sprouting
I like how you maximize your greens
Look for one of my recent videos on seeds. I explain a lot in that video.
Dang that is cool. What if you used glass baking dishes lol
I am trying that next, lol
Has anyone tried MARPHYL Organics? Phytoplankton.
Why add the nutrient water at the beginning of the grow? I thought just plain water was used for sprouting seeds. Nutrient not until true leaves form???
Do as you like
Love your content, Mike! You’ve become a great friend & influence! I appreciate a
ll the options you’ve included in your content throughout all these years!
🌱🌿🌶️🫑🌴❣️☀️
I live in Florida, too. I’ve highly valued your experience. THANK YOU❣️
Can you use ordinary seeds or it should be microgreen seeds?
microgreen seeds are cheaper for bulk. You can use regular but it will cost a lot to do any volume.
How was the Masterblend 20-20-20? If I remember correctly, you tried it at one time.
I had the same question. I have been using it based off of his recommendation but it looks like he has moved away from it. I don't remember him explaining the change unless I missed a step in a video somewhere.
worked for me but I do mostly leafy greens. Other people were having trouble with it and reducing the ratio. I don't get into messing with all of that and just suggest the original formula so everyone does not get confused.
@@KeepOnGrowin Thanks, good to know. Long time traditional in-ground gardener, I started hydroponics and bought the 20-20-20 specifically based on your videos.
@@KeepOnGrowin Thank you Mike! I was one of those that had some initial issues. After some tweaking, I think I got it right. My issue seemed to be proper dilution of the powder. Once I let it fully dissolve in the water and increased the water ratio slightly, to about 75% strength, I got the best results. (for me) Awesome new idea using the clay pellets!! Can't wait to dig into this one! Have a great day and thanks again for all you do! Mike - Northern NY
I also had a lot of trouble with the right mix/dilution. I now mix it at half strength and now most of my plants are doing much better. But then I am using it for mostly indoor plants and young plants under lights, not outside in bright sunlight. @@MK-cw4gw
Where can I get clay pebbles? Thanks
Got mine from Amazon uk
I got mine from a hydroponic store here in Australia

Hey can I use clay bowls instead of glass?
yes, they just evaporate faster
Do you sterilize your seeds before growing?
I do not
Just curious are clay pepples re- usable?
yes
Awesome I'm ordering them!
Please grow a plant all the way out in a bigger glass jar with the balls. I think it will work.
Why do you need nutrients for microgreens? Seeds have everything needed to get to this stage.
I guess you didn't watch.
interesting( ness )
Why are you jealous of his wife. Let your husband do the same for you. The Bible says thou shalt not be jealous over other people's wife or husband . You have to let go of that thought ❤
She did not mean it that way you literally took it the wrong way. And the only way you could have done that is if you were being judgemental which I feel you were.
🤦🏽♀️🙄
