No funny stuff!!

Swiss Chard microgreens are a very rewarding crop to grow. They provide great flavour and colour to a dish. It has a green top leaf with a purple-ish shine underneath the leaf. The stems are a pinkish purple colour.

Packed with nutrient and they have a sweet earthy flavour. Similar to Beetroot but not as finicky.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Germination: 3-4 days

Total grow: 14-18 days

  1. Lay a thin layer of coco peat and perlite mixture in a tray. Cover the surface area with seeds. Roughly 25 to 30 grams for a standard 52x27x3cm microgreens tray tray. You can soak seeds in water (room temperature) 2 to 4 hours prior to sowing.
  2. Cover seeds with another thin layer (about 1.5 cm) of grow medium and press down firmly.
  3. Ad another tray (preferably without holes) on top of the seeds. Ad some weight in the form of a small tile or stone. This helps to form strong roots and get rid of unwanted seed hulls.
  4. Keep wet with a spray bottle until all seeds have germinated and start to lift the top tray. Remove top tray and flip over to place greens into blackout. This helps the stems to lengthen. TIP: You can blackout as short as possible by letting stems get 1 cm long then move to light. This helps stem walls strengthen and minimises chances of damping off.
  5. Introduce to light. This could be into artificial light, sunlight. An exposed windowsill will work just fine.
  6. Make sure they have enough water each day. They should be ready between 14 and 18 days
