Want to grow your own mini vegetables without the need of 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 lot of us are already familiar with the types of stacking bean sprouters that can be placed on kitchen window sills and provide us with the tasty health benefits of seeds and bean sprouts. But unfortunately the supply they offer can be somewhat intermittent unless you choose to have several on the go at once and only offer you on a regular basis garnish size portions. Plus these stacking systems limit you to growing only smaller sprouts without soil so you things such as pea shoots, sunflower greens and wheatgrass which are becoming increasingly popular are off limits.
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 should you do when space is limited and you don’t have the time to grow your own healthy micro greens or sprouts and don’t want to end up buying inferior ones from 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.
The EasyGreen Makes it EasyGrown. With the self contained fully automated EasyGreen MikroFarm hydroponics system you can very effectively produce enough of your favourite sprouts simply to make a different in your life and provide you with their many health benefits. Just a one box solution that will provide you with regular crops of mini vegetables but other plants as well. Chefs can even use these to grow good quality micro greens, baby salads and garnishes for their restaurants. As the EasyGreen is a modular system it provides you with the ability to place units on top of each so increasing the number of crops you can grow.
With this equipment you can grow wheatgrass for juicing, seed and bean sprouts, pea shoots to act as a garnish or for use in salads, sunflower greens without the need for soil, miniature salad leaves and micro herbs for adding more zing to your meals; the list of what you can grow is almost limitless. Another option is to use a food dehydrator which will open up your options even more.
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.
There is a wide selection of growing trays to choose from and can be tailored to meet the size of your growing chamber and in turn allowing you to mix and match the crops that you like to grow. In the larger trays you have the opportunity to grow crops in bulk quantities such as wheatgrass, baby salads or sunflower sprouts. Whilst the smaller (junior) trays allow you to grow up to 10 types of crops at any one time.
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.
Where your water is sourced from is your decision and if you choose to add nutrients like Kelp to the reservoir is another decision for you to make in order to improve the crops vitality at harvest time. Using this system you decide when the crops get watered during the day and night at intervals of no less than 15 minutes at a time. Once the seeds are laid in the tray the reservoir needs to be filled and the timer set for when to water the crops and after doing this you can just forget about it. This is certainly of benefit to those who lead very busy lifestyles. However, you shouldn’t forget to make sure that the reservoir is regularly topped up and also to harvest the crops once they have reached their most nutritious and flavoursome stage of growth.
With the EasyGreen trays unlike other hydroponic systems it allows you to use compost and soil in them which is beneficial to those crops that grow for longer such as sunflower greens, wheatgrass or baby salads. It doesn’t matter what types of mini plants or sprouts you want to grow this system is undoubtedly the best on the market to provide a convenient regular supply of health boosters for you. The amount of power it uses won’t be a burden on the environment and although the outlay initially is high this is soon compensated by the health benefits it offers you.
