RE: How to Grow Your Own Microgreens | Fast and Easy Gardening
I love sunflower seeds. We use for our fodder and microgreens. We were using field peas for fodder also but when the pea husk falls off plant it starts to get slimy in the trays where with the micro greens in the soil it really isn't that bad. We are starting to use all the 1020 trays we used for fodder back in the day now for microgreens since we use a king crop now for fodder. It is amazing the price microgreens are selling for now. I have a small Samson green system we use in the house for micro greens and sprouts.
Nice to hear of you setup! I was happy of high price as I used to sell them to restaurants. But no reason we all can't grow our own eh? It becomes elitist when really it should be good EVERYONE has access to.
Are you feeding poultry or other animals on your forage system? I'd like to see it in action :)
Yes the poultry, cows, goats and hogs. I will have it back up and running again and will do a few articles on it. The poultry love the sunflower fodder and go crazy over it but you have to make sure they are getting enough grit or they will start to get more sour crop since it is fresh greens in their crop and it breaks down and rots fast. Not a problem with more free range or large area chickens but I did have a problem when I was feeding chickens in a pen. Just adding grit took care of it though.
