Hello, hello, hello everyone. Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast.

All right, today we're going to talk about something that I've been experimenting with in my front yard,

and that would be, how do you grow micro greens in beds?

So this is a method that I've been thinking about for a while,

have never tested, and I'm just starting to try out

as an experiment right now.

And the idea is this,

if you've ever grown micro greens before, you'll know that typically you would grow them in a 10 by 20 propagation tray.

And you do that because you're growing many different varieties

and you want ease of transport, ease of moving,

and ease of harvesting.

However, what if you aren't growing them

for commercial use and you want to have the dual function of having a really cool looking

bed that's highly, highly productive and potentially getting some organic matter back into that soil. So micro greens as you know they grow

really quickly but at the same time you don't need to eat all of them. You can grow

maybe some I don't know alfalfa micro greens or you can grow radish which is one

that I'm doing right now in my garden and then just turn some of it under and

get some organic matter some biomass into the soil really quickly.

And so the reason I'm doing this is twofold. I want some radish micro-greens. I love those things and I definitely want more than one 10- tray would produce and so a bed makes sense.

And then second, some of the clay soil that I got, it's just a bit too dense.

It's holding a little too much water, it's getting a little too mushy and sticky.

And I'm going to see what I can do to add some more organic matter in there, break it up a little bit.
