Microgreens are grown from seeds that are sown densely in a growing medium such as soil, coco-coir, or even without grow medium on mesh trays. They are typically grown in multiple 10”x20” trays or with smaller grows can recycle plastic takeout containers, and require only a small amount of space to get started compared to an outdoor garden.
