Couple of days back while checking in my cupboard, I found some Micro-mats that I bought quite a long time back!
I just forgot about them and never really used them!
So I decided to bring them to my restaurant and start doing some tests!
Let me share with you, how the testing is going on after 12 days of placing 4 different seeds on them!
These were the 4 different seeds that I placed on the mat!
I then simply soaked the mat with water and left overnight indoor.
I was really very surprised the next day when I checked the progress...
Oh well...the wild rocquette seeds already started to germinate...amazing nature!
While the 3 other seeds were still same...the wild rocquette was now growing up, with the first 2 leaves coming out...yes my friends, in only 3 days!!!
Finally on the fifth day, I noticed the beetroot seeds starting to germinate!
The Spring Onion and Chia seeds on the other hands...no change on day 5!!!
Great news on day 9, the spring onion seeds finally started to germinate...So now I have 3 seeds out of 4 which started to grow...
The chia seeds did not move at all...maybe I have to learn a bit more on the chia seeds...
Below are the latest photos I took yesterday - after 12 days on planting!
Overall I am very satisfied with the results and looking forward to plant a little more this coming week!
I will avoid the chia seeds and try some others like coriander/mint/green salad etc...
Have you ever used hydroponic micro mats for growing herbs my friends!?
Please share any tips that can be useful for me in the comments section below - I will be grateful!
My main goal is to be auto sufficient in herbs and micro plants at my restaurant - then I will no more spend money in buying them from outside as they are quite expensive!
Thanks so much for reading my post!
Wish you all a great start of the new week!
Stay blessed!
