🎁 Special Green Friday Edition of Home Gardener’s Weekly! 🎁
Celebrate Green Friday — A Holiday Gift for Gardeners & Food Lovers
After the hustle of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s time to slow down, reconnect with nature, and grow something meaningful. This Green Friday, we’re offering special discounts on three of our courses designed to help you (or someone you love) plan, grow, and enjoy a thriving garden — indoors or out — and preserve your harvest in delicious, nutrient-rich ways.

Learn to Ferment
🫙Have a pile of veggies that are ready to become something magical? 🥒
Discover the art of fermentation in this week’s “Learn to Ferment” blog. Turn your harvest into tangy, gut‑friendly delights. From sauerkraut to pickles, your fridge will never be boring again!
Garden Tip
Measure your microgreen seed by weight, not volume. When you measure by volume, there is a wider fluctuation of seed amount than if you weigh your microgreen seed. Choosing a gram / ounce scale is best.
Dear Arti
Question:
I do worm composting. Can I ever use some of this compost in my microgreen growing? – Robin S., Los Angeles, California
Answer:
Hi Robin, You certainly can, but as a general rule it’s unnecessary and can cause inconsistent results.Because it has bacteria and fungi, you may lose some of your trays. It’s generally unnecessary to use castings in your microgreen growing because you’re only growing your microgreens to the first or second set of leaves, so they don’t really need the castings. Better to save that for your garden! 🙂
