How to Grow Silverbeet Microgreens

    • Sow rate: 40 grams for a 10 x 20″ growing tray.
    • Pre-Soak seeds for 6 – 8 hours.
    • Grow in soil, and not hydroponic method.
    • Add 2 – 3 cm of soil to tray. Flatten soil to level. Moisten soil. Sprinkle seeds evenly over surface.
    • Cover seeds with a light layer of soil. This step is important as it helps with dehulling and reduces beet microgreen growing issues.
    • Lightly water. Cover seeds with a growing tray. Store in a well ventilated, dark spot to germinate.
    • Water 1 – 2 times daily. Keep covered for 6 – 8 days. Remove top tray and expose it to light. Water twice daily.
