STOP Growing Microgreens in Plastic! Use Glass Containers!
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Keep on Growin’ with Mike VanDuzee”.
Full tutorial of how I grow microgreens in shallow glass containers. I use a nutrient solution so I can grow them out to baby greens and maximize my yields. Many more experiments with microgreens coming as we attempt to reduce our plastic usage and incorporate more renewable options.

Where can I get clay pebbles? Thanks
Got mine from Amazon uk
I got mine from a hydroponic store here in Australia

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
Love this!!👍🙄💖
Love this video, you explained it so well
One of the best uploads I’ve seen in ages 🙏👍👍I have those pebbles but never thought of using them with micro greens 😁
Great job Mike!
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.
Great video, Mike! Really loved this one!! Thank you.🕊
Can you grow with regular pebbles? Pea gravel would be heavy, but could work? Maybe?
clay pebbles retain moisture
So glad to see this! Can’t wait for more details.
Been super excited to see this.
Thank you Mike!
Do you wash and dry the seeds before putting them in?
no
Great info Mike, thank you.
Another great video. I really like how you don’t get too technical. Low maintenance, and if it works it works. No stress.
Wonder if this will work in mason jars?
Yes, definitely
Great idea!! I’m amazed every video I watch! This is definitely going to be tried. Perfect for an apartment!
Thank you👍
How many cups size are those containers? Looks like 2 or 3 cups? It’s such a bummer when you have a great local source that can’t be duplicated everywhere else, so give us the measurements at least, so we can approximate the same thing. Thank you. Your idea is sound
What kind of seed did you sprinkle?
But Mike..the short plastic containers I’ve been waiting for the perfect use for are dying to participate…
