They’re usually grown in shallow pots or seedling trays, but they can be grown in the garden, too - it only takes 2-3 weeks to harvest.
How to grow in a garden
- Choose a spot in your garden that sits in full sun, spread Yates Seed Raising Mix over a 10cm diameter area and lightly compact.
- Sprinkle half the packet of seeds over the area and cover with a thin layer of seed mix. Moisten using a mist spray bottle. Keep soil evenly moist while the seeds are growing.
- Once seedlings emerge, feed weekly with half strength Yates Thrive Vegie & Herb Liquid Plant Food.
- Snip microgreens above the soil line once they are 3-5cm tall.
How to grow in a pot

- Fill the pot with Yates Seed Raising Mix. Sprinkle half the packet of seeds over a 10cm diameter area and lightly cover with a thin layer of seed mix. Moisten using a mist spray bottle. Keep soil evenly moist while the seeds are growing.
