How to Fertilize Microgreens

Posted on May 13, 2021

The pest control industry can make a living off of microgreens and many are selling them to gardeners as part of their monthly garden gardening supplies. Many of the gardens that they sell to have already incorporated microgreens into their gardening design. If you want to increase the amount of microgreens in your garden you should learn how to apply them effectively.

Microgreens are not always all that difficult to cultivate. They do not require any special, very specific conditions for their growth. The only thing that is necessary is a low moisture environment. Microgreens need just the right amount of moisture and sunshine to be successful. Once they are planted in the soil, they should be left alone and provided with the required amount of sun and water.

When planting them, make sure that you remove any roots that have been damaged or diseased from the soil. The roots of other plants will grow around the damaged ones, so removing these damaged plants first makes it easier to spread the microgreens around the garden.

Once the microgreens are in the ground and out of harm’s way, it is time to start making sure that they receive enough sunlight and water. You can keep track of this by checking on them every few days. If you notice that they are still green in color, then the microgreens have not been given enough light and they need more attention.

Fertilizer will also be needed to keep them growing at the proper rate. The fertilizer you use should have the right pH balance for the microgreens so that they will have a healthy crop.

If you do not want to go through the trouble of collecting the right fertilizer to use for microgreens, you can try to purchase organic fertilizers that have the correct pH levels for them. Organic fertilizers are usually very cheap compared to other fertilizers and they work just as well.

Some fertilizers are made specifically for microgreens and some are just meant for gardens. They make it easy to find the fertilizer that you need by either looking in a grocery store or simply by calling a gardening center and asking what they recommend.

Since the organic fertilizer for microgreens is free, you can save a lot of money by buying it. Some people have successfully raised healthy microgreens with organic fertilizers that cost a fraction of what you would pay for the same amount of non-organic fertilizer. If you take advantage of this chance to save money on fertilizers, you can be certain that your garden will be healthy and vibrant for a long time to come.

You can mix your fertilizer directly into the soil without putting it in the compost pile. However, if you are going to use compost, it is best to use some kind of bark mulch or coir and vermiculite mixture. These two mulches will absorb most of the nutrients that you put into the soil, helping to make sure that the microgreens you plant in the ground do not die before they even start to sprout.

Microgreens are supposed to be done by the time you are ready to harvest your vegetables. You can wait until then to collect the excess microgreens that you want to eat and apply them to the garden. Fertilizing the garden before harvesting helps the microgreens get the proper amount of sunlight and water they need.

You can make sure that your garden gets the amount of water and sunlight that they need by making sure that the soil is completely saturated with the fertilizer. As long as you make sure that the soil is moist before planting the microgreens, then you can be sure that they will get the right amount of nourishment from the fertilizer.

It is important to fertilize your microgreens before you put them in the garden so that they will have enough time to grow properly. You can also make sure that the fruits and vegetables you are preparing for your table will be as tasty as possible by fertilizing them right from the beginning.
