7-INTRO TO SOIL-SPROUTS
I had some experience with growing soil-sprouts many years ago, but that was in very large trays and for mass production. What I have found, is that it is much easier for home growers to grow small amounts of greens, planting and harvesting daily, than to try to grow large quantities of greens. That is how and why I started TheDailyGardener.com to emphasize the little-gardening-everyday method that I recommend. The reasons that The Daily Gardener method works so well for soil-sprouts:
1. Uses little growing space, which is great for gardening in the kitchen, apartment, condo or dorm room.
2. Harvest daily fresh greens, requires very little fridge space.
3. No problems with spoilage.
4. Very little time from seed to harvest, just 7 days.
5. It is easy to adjust the amount of harvest, if you expect a crowd next week, plant another tray. If you are out of town next week stop planting.
6. Easy to grow method makes a great learning experience for kids.
7. This method would work well for small restaurants it is so easy to do, and nothing can define fresh better than cutting the greens right into a salad!
