FAQ
Growing the highest quality microgreens requires premium soil!
We discovered this to be a product created locally in Alberta by Professional Gardener.
This exclusive mix is introduced with a blend of aged ORGANIC peat based material, followed up by there proprietary formula of 40 beneficial Bacteria and Fungi (from Compost Extracts). These extracts are responsible for feeding the root zone of the microgreens, therefore enhancing the taste profile that we so desperately desire.
The balance of water retention to drainage is ideal with a small amount of perlite added to the mixture creating a perfect environment for germination. The addition of dolomite lime creates the perfect ph level that plants need for optimal growth.
This is why our product's quality stands alone, as exquisite taste, colour, growth, and freshness are a must in healthy microgreen expression - anything less than the best is unacceptable!
Each product page will tell you how long you can keep them before they start to lose quality.
