The core is four steps: seed pre-treatment, seed planting, day-to-day management and harvesting. Different varieties are fine-tuned for parameters such as immersion time, light, etc., and can be eaten from 7 to 20 days。
It's a four-step system. Just do it
Whatever sprouts we grow, we can't escape the following frame。
Step one, bubble seeds. The purpose is to awaken the seeds. 4-6 hours for small seed (e. G. Radish seed) and 8-12 hours for large seed (e. G. Peas, soybeans) with warm water at 40-55°c. Before bubbles, pick out broken, dry bad seeds。
Step two, sowing the seed drive. The key to the container is a drainage hole to prevent the accumulation of water at its roots. It can be used as a special nursery with holes or as a clean plastic bottle, a lunch box with a few eyes on the bottom. Cover the container with 12 floors of humid gauze or kitchen paper, so that the bubbling seeds are distributed equally and not stacked too heavily。
Step three, water, light and temperature。
Step four, harvest. The sprouts grow to 8-15 cm high, and the leaves can be cut when they spread. Cutting from 1-2 cm in the base with a clean scissors, with appropriate water reduction of 1-2 days prior to harvest, makes the taste more fragile。
Different varieties. Just remember the key differences
You might ask, "how do you adjust soybean sprouts and pea seedlings?" the difference is mainly in light and cycle。
Can you plant them together? No. Because bean sprouts are dark, seedlings are light, and environmental needs are in conflict and must be grown separately。
What about the sprouts
There are three problems that are most frequently encountered by newcomers, both for reasons and in rescue。
Tools and ways, how to save yourself
You might want to know if you need a lot of equipment. Not at all。
Packagings: specially designed sprouts are the most convenient, but clean yogurt boxes, out-of-pocket boxes, with several holes in the bottom, are the same。
Tools: a pot of water and a pair of scissors is enough。
Cultivation: strongly recommends soilless farming. With gauze, paper towels or water, clean, smellless, simple, especially for kitchens or balconyes. The seedlings, which are cultivated on earth, may be stronger, but they are also prone to infestation and insect eggs。
Summarizing: grow sprouts, follow a four-step process, light them up according to their variety, stop pouring too much water, and start with a ready-made container at home. From the drop of seeds to the end of the table, the shortest one week is the fastest “self-sufficiency”。
