"Start by cleaning the container (any size works) to remove any trace of milk or juice, then cut open the face of the container to create the planter. Fill the space with multi-purpose compost, preferably peat-free, pressing the soil down to compact it and create a flat surface. Sow your chosen seeds densely on the surface and spray with water, gently but thoroughly enough to soak the soil completely without washing the seeds away."
"Microgreens are one of the easiest things to grow in your kitchen window. This powerhouse of nutrients can be added to salads, sandwiches, and as garnishes that will elevate the look of your dishes with very little effort. If you follow this hack from TikTok, you don't even need any special equipment to grow them. Simply take an empty tetrapak drink carton, a handful of potting soil, and a few seeds,"
"There are many herbs and veggie seeds you can grow in your kitchen to harvest microgreens, from spicy radishes, arugula, and mustard to nutrituous kale and broccoli, nutty sunflowers, and sweet pea shoots. Bear in mind that some seeds will take longer to sprout, and the time from seed to microgreen will vary. For beginners, radish and broccoli are a great start, as they germinate in a couple of days and grow quick"
Empty tetrapak cartons make ready planters when cleaned and cut open; fill with multi-purpose, preferably peat-free compost, press flat, and sow seeds densely. Spray gently to fully moisten the soil without displacing seeds, then place on a sunny windowsill with good light and airflow. Most microgreens mature within seven to fourteen days; radish and broccoli germinate fastest and suit beginners. Many seed options exist—radish, arugula, mustard, kale, broccoli, sunflowers, pea shoots—and each offers different flavors, colors, and nutritional profiles. Homegrown microgreens add eye appeal, flavor, and nutrients to salads, sandwiches, and garnishes.
