Growing Your Own Mini Vegetables without the Need for a Garden!

Through the use of indoor micro farming you have access all year round to healthy intensely flavoured mini salads, micro greens and bean sprouts. The younger the plants are the more nutritious and in some cases sprouted baby vegetables will contain far great amounts of nutrition than the same amounts of mature plants.

A large number of us know about the small stacking bean sprouters available and that you sit on a kitchen window sill. They do offer you a taste of the health benefits to be collected from seed and bean sprouts but will only do so on an irregular basis unless you set up several of these units. Often they only provide you with regular garnish sized portions. Also these systems do not have the capabilities for the use of soil need to sprout things like sunflower greens, pea shoots as well as wheatgrass which is become increasingly popular with being able to juice.

Hassle-Free Healthy Young Sprouts & Salads. Also when it comes to caring for the mini plants in the traditional sprouters or sprouting jars can be a chore as they constantly need rinsing and watering when you want to increase how much of their health enhancing nutrients you consume. It becomes even more difficult to grow them successfully when you are out at work all day.

So what will you need to if you have limited space and would like the opportunity to grow healthy micro greens and sprouts so you don’t need to keep spending money on the inferior kinds at your local store?

There is a solution to this problem that will in turn provide you with the opportunity to successfully grown all year round your own organic sunflower greens, pea shoots, micro salads, beans and seed sprouts in plentiful supplies effortlessly. You don’t even need to have a sophisticated, artificially lit; temperature controlled indoor growing room that uses hydroponics and fancy lighting. What is needed is a small amount of space, a small amount of electricity along with a water supply and some ambient lighting.

EasyGreen Makes it EasyGrown. There is a self contained fully automated miniature hydroponic system available called the EasyGreen MikroFarm that is not only simple to use but very effective in helping to produce sufficient quantities of your favourite sprouts to make a difference to your life and provide you with the health benefits they offer. This one box solution provides you with a regular supply of not only home grown mini vegetables but other plants as well.

The EasyGreen modular system will allow you to place other units on top of one another so increasing the amount of things grown in them.

It allows you to grow all types of bean and seed sprouts, wheatgrass that can be juiced, sunflower greens with or without the need for soil, pea shoots to be used as garnishes or in salads, micro herbs to add flavour to your plate and miniature salad leaves. The possibilities are endless. You can even look at using a food dehydrator as well to add some variety to the mix.

How Does it Work? The system is very simple to use because at the heart of the EasyGreen you will find some very advanced hydroponic technology. The rectangular box is separated into two sections the front used for the growing of the crops and the rear acts as reservoir where water with any organic nutrients can be placed. Covering the tray is clear polycarbonate lid that ensures that sufficient amounts of light can shine on to the seeds and a timer allows you to decide when the plants will be sprayed with water from the reservoir. So you are the one that has complete control over how much the plants you are growing are provided with.

With the EasyGreen you have a good selection of growing trays to choose from allowing you to tailor the growing chamber to meet your particular needs. So in effective you have the ability to mix and match what plants will be grown within it. If you are intending to grow wheatgrass, sunflower sprouts or baby salads then you should use the large trays. Whereas the junior (smaller) trays are more suitable to growing a wide selection of crops up to 10 varieties at a time in them.

Simplicity Means Success. Each EasyGreen system comes with a specialist pump that creates an ultra fine mist of water that is oxygenated and provides you with a more optimized and advance growing environment for your crops. As the seeds contained within are watered evenly there is no need to initially pre-soak them and will often grow much more quickly. Also the mist has sufficient amounts of oxygen in it that is beneficial to the growth of the young crops roots. The generator also provides you with complete control over the growing chamber that is ventilated because every time the crops are watered the air is being filtered and cleaned. Plus because these systems contain no water jets or dripper nozzles you want have to spend time dealing with blockages.

The water source you use is up to and whether you choose to add nutrients like Kelp solution to the reservoir for enhancing the crops vitality at harvest time is also your decision. You have the ability to fine tune when watering occurs at 15 minute intervals throughout the day or night. After lying the seeds in the trays fill up the reservoir set the watering times and then forget about it. This is certainly an advantage to those whose lives are extremely busy. Remember to keep topping up the reservoir and harvest the plants when they are at the right stage of development to get the maximum flavour and nutrients from them.

Unlike other types of hydroponic systems the EasyGreen is one where the use of soil or compost in the trays is allowed and so is ideal for long growing crops such as wheatgrass, baby salads or sunflower greens.
