The Marshalls Garden Micro Veg Gro-Tray Set is designed for home growers, chefs, and small-scale producers seeking a simple and fast way to cultivate microgreens. Its key benefit is the ease of use, allowing for quick germination and harvest in just 7-14 days. A minor consideration is the biodegradable nature of the Gro-Felt mats, which require proper composting after use. This set includes five propagation trays with lids and ten Gro-Felt mats, utilizing a professional-grade cellulose material for optimal moisture retention.

You can grow a wide variety of microgreens, including radish, broccoli, arugula, mustard, peas, and more. The Gro-Felt mats are suitable for most common microgreen seeds.
Each Gro-Felt mat is designed for a single growing cycle and should be replaced with a fresh one for each new batch of microgreens. They are biodegradable and compostable.
You should keep the Gro-Felt mat consistently moist. This might require watering once or twice daily, depending on your environment. A spray bottle is often best for maintaining moisture without disturbing the seeds.
Yes, the gro-trays and clear propagator lids are reusable. Wash them thoroughly with soap and water after each use and ensure they are completely dry before your next planting.
Most microgreens germinate best at room temperature, typically between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid placing them in direct sunlight which can overheat the tray.
Once the microgreens have reached the desired size (usually 1-3 inches tall), you can harvest them using clean scissors or a sharp knife. Cut them just above the Gro-Felt mat.
The Gro-Felt mats are made from cellulose and are biodegradable and compostable. While not intended for consumption, they are generally considered safe if accidentally ingested in small quantities, but it's best to avoid this.
Ensure the Gro-Felt mat is consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check that the seeds are fresh and have not expired. Verify the ambient temperature is suitable for the specific microgreen variety.
This can occur due to excessive moisture or poor air circulation. Remove any affected areas immediately. Ensure the lid is not trapping too much condensation, and consider briefly airing the tray daily. Proper sterilization of trays before reuse can prevent this.
Ensure the lid is sealed properly to maintain humidity. Place the tray away from direct drafts or heat sources. Check the moisture level more frequently if the environment is particularly dry.
Ensure adequate light exposure once seeds have germinated. Check that the correct seed density was used; overcrowding can lead to weak plants. Consistent moisture is also crucial for robust growth.
