Yes, I remember the day I started my micro greens farm many years ago. I gave out plenty of free samples, started a point of difference by growing in soil and organic.
I made my own products, then moved into growing all types of salad mixes as well.
I unfortunately got very ill with Dystonia, but now I am much better and kicking off my micro farm again, so excited,
I am actually selling a high end compost that in the final process has compost worms chew through it. I find compost has a long shelf life, so is very stable in nearly all type of weather.
I am just in the stage now of growing my plants to sell, which will include microgreens and baby leaf.
Love what you guys are doing here, wishing you all the best for success.

interesting might try that wicking system with my aquaponic setup, might let me grow ontop of the fish tanks then: P the running water will have better oxygen absorption from having a huge surface area that's why they grow better, look into Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor and get some living organisms into the mix for Symbiotic Relationship to help aid the roots

Great video.
I have to questions as I do not know how to get this:
A) the cellulose grow medium - where do get it?
B) the great steel shelves - where can I get these? I love the construction of them.
Thanks.

Thanks for this great video +Epic Gardening! They've got an amazing system! The long sloping black trays in their new system look like they fit shelving units perfectly. Any idea where trays like that can be sourced?

What's medium are they using and where can I get it? The best I've seen is what Koppert Cress uses, a proprietary wood strand mesh but of course they're not sharing the technique so I can't find it anywhere. Any help?

I have been experimenting with wicking micro greens myself. I noticed no wick in the black container pulled from the flood and drain tray. How are the plants grown in the new system kept hydrated by the customer?

This was a great video. Every aspect of the operation was thoroughly explained. They must go through a large amount of seed on a monthly basis. Do they get their seed from a bulk wholesale house?

Very interesting system approach, Simple, yet effective. Heck, I may look at something similar! I do 3D printing, so prototyping/production of the containers is quite possible. Yeah. I like it!

I'm in the US and just starting this. Interested in where you get the cellulose medium. I'm searching for a non-soil medium that has no chemicals and certified food safe trays.

I like this style and the prototype watering system looks amazing. What is the watering cycle times on and off? This food is a better choice and nothing compares

for their germination process, do they do it the same way as one would do it with soil? Does the thin cellulose material make it difficult to germinate?
