Can You Reuse Soil For Microgreens?

Posted on June 29, 2020

Growing microgreens and other vegetables are a fun hobby. But how do you keep your garden looking fresh and healthy? Do you need to learn how to re-use your gardening soil for microgreens?

In order to keep your vegetable garden looking great, you need to always be on the look out for weeds. Plants need space to grow and produce. That means that you need to choose the kind of plants that best fit the space you have available for them. I’m a firm believer in planting to fill as much of the available space as possible.

Vegetables are plants that grow best in all kinds of soil. They require more nutrients in their soil than other plants because they do not produce stems or leaves that need support. Soil is the only part of a plant that provides them with protection.

Composting your kitchen scraps is another way of recycling your garden waste. What compost can bring back is organic matter and nutrients that are abundant in dirt and soil. You can then use this organic matter and nutrients to improve the soil around your plants. And by improving the soil around your plants, you’ll be able to enjoy healthy vegetables and fruits.

Gardeners also like to add fertilizers to their garden. But how do you know when the right fertilizers are added? Here are some of the easiest tips you can try before adding the fertilizer to your garden.

For plants that do well in winter-free garden soil, you might want to add compost. If the soil is too dry or contains too much lime, it might be best to add a fertilizing supplement to boost plant growth. Fertilizers are added at regular intervals throughout the year to maintain healthy plants.

Some plants prefer sunny areas to grow. Use a SunGard potting mixture that comes in either dark or light colors. You can grow plants in containers if you wish, but you should try to use your garden plot area in order to establish plants that will thrive in your climate.

Some plants prefer acid or leaching soils. Plant them in a Pots for Acid soil mix for great results. This soil mix also has a neutral pH so that your plants won’t be over-acidified.

Microgreens aren’t the only plants that benefit from organic materials in their soil. For those who live in areas that are too cold or too hot for their preferred plants, this can be a great solution. Some gardens already have soil components that are formulated for plants to grow in certain conditions. Try mixing in a mixture of these with your organic gardening dirt and watch your crop flourish.

Don’t use compost to fertilize your plants. In order to give microgreens a boost, you may have to add fertilizer. But don’t forget that you will be using an amount of compost back into your garden every week as well.

It’s recommended that you only add small amounts of fertilizers at first to your garden plot. You might add one tablespoon per plant. Do this once a month until your plant begins to show an increase in growth and flower.

It’s very easy to add organic materials to your garden plot. To avoid creating problems, however, you’ll have to ensure that the soil you’re using to grow your microgreens is organic and free of pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals. This is particularly important if you plan to grow microgreens outdoors.
