Easy Guide to Growing Microgreens Booklet

This easy-to-read but comprehensive hard copy printed Microgreens Booklet is a quick start guide to growing baby vegetables and herbs as fresh digestive-enzyme rich ingredients! This guide stands alone and is designed to complement the foldout Microgreens Growing Guide Chart with additional unique tips and information.

I’ve written this booklet based on 9 years of experience growing microgreens and teaching classes. It’s designed to help gardeners get started quickly with shortcuts to success and little known tips in a condensed reference guide. It’s presented in a practical Q&A style format with tables for easy reference in a simple to understand layout. After great feedback on this booklet from workshop attendees and many requests, I’m now making it available to everyone.
