Espoma Potting Mix for Microgreens, Storing Soil, and Upcoming Microgreen Mat Trials Microgreens Podcast

    • Home & Garden

In Episode 13 of the Microgreens Podcast, we discuss how well Espoma Organic Potting Mix did in the most recent soil trial.
Espoma potting mix held it's own, not quite as good as Home Microgreens potting mix but we'd use it for sure.
This also leads to a discussion on how to best store soil in the home using totes. Get rid of the bags, dump the soil into appropriate sized totes.
It's much easier to get the soil out of the totes than the bags. Also, use a high sided tray when filling your microgreen planting trays. You can scrape off the extra soil into the tray and when you're finished, dump the soil back into the soil tote.
No mess and no vacuum cleaner or anything to pick up spilled soil.
So many people have emailed wanting me to start working with fiber mats. We discuss how I'll do the trials.
Each type of mat will be run on a one-on-one matchup with Home Microgreens potting mix for a comparison of how well or how badly microgreens grow on fiber mats.
