Grow 4 Microgreens at Once on a Countertop Small Sprouting Tray — No Soil!
We grew radish, broccoli, arugula, and sunflower microgreens at once on one countertop with stacked small trays and reusable silicone grow medium. This is how we grow several microgreens at the same time on one kitchen countertop, with no soil. We planned five crops: radish, purple sprouting broccoli, a basic salad mix, arugula, and sunflower. Each small tray holds one crop on a reusable silicone grow medium, so you can try several crops before moving up to a full 10x20 tray. For seeding we used 2 1/2 tablespoons of sunflower seed, roughly 20 grams. Every other crop got half a tablespoon, roughly 6 grams or less. Arugula is the stickiest seed, so we put that tray on top of the stack and the sunflower tray on the bottom. The bottom tray has no tray underneath it, so you can set a plate under the stack to keep the water from getting everywhere. On day 5 we added half a cup of Ocean Solution mixture to the water. Unfortunately our basic salad mix did not make it. It may have been the seed, so we got rid of that tray. Sometimes that just happens, and it is why we like trying several crops at once. Here's what we cover: ✅ Growing four microgreens at the same time on a countertop ✅ Seed amounts for sunflower, radish, broccoli, and arugula ✅ How we stack small trays and protect the countertop ✅ What happened to the salad mix UPDATE: We no longer carry the all-in-one grow light tray kit, the countertop grow light kit, or the sprouting trays shown in this video, and we no longer sell Ocean Solution. The trays, lights, and fertilizer we recommend are linked below. We still carry the reusable silicone grow medium for the small sprouting tray, but it will not be restocked once it sells out: https://onthegrow.net/products/reusable-silicone-grow-medium-small-sprouting-tray We keep track of several trays in our Microgreen Tracker app, which logs each tray from seed to harvest.
