How do you identify your trays? The current system I use is to label them with a removable sticker with the crop and expected harvest date.

Oddly our broccoli is a bit wimpy this week, but the amaranth 😊 is making me happy. Just a touch of water daily… just enough to barely cover the bottom of the tray… works for us and our chefs. I’m hoping the broccoli will get jealous 😊. What crop is making you happy today?

I might have found a loop hole for needing a cottage food license (8 week waiting time) where I live! Popcorn, including flavored popcorn is listed on an exception list because it's low risk. If I'm preparing popcorn with all commercially prepared ingredients, which I would be at this point, I can visit the local health department for details. I will find out if it has to be prepared in a commercial kitchen or if my home kitchen is permitted. Wish me luck because I could really use the varied income stream at the farmer's market!

Can we talk about the type of growing medium? I see many microgreen growers using water, coco coir, or silicone mats. I get that it’s all about minimizing costs, but don’t microgreens grown in water or on silicone mats have a different taste and lower nutrient value?

Hello! How do you wash and sanitize your trays? Thank you!
