The Tedious, Detail Oriented Reality of Growing Microgreens

The Tedious, Detail Oriented Reality of Growing Microgreens

Given the relatively low capital investment required to start a microgreens business, it's a business that attracts a lot of people.

When over 60% of your time will be spent harvesting, cleaning, and sanitizing trays, some of the allure of that $50 tray goes away.

Add in the need for rigorous observations and recording keeping, and you will find yourself in a position that Chris describes as part automaton and part scientist.

Not for everyone.

Especially when people enter the business looking to make a quick buck.

If you are thinking about starting a microgreens operation, there's a lot to consider, especially the negatives.
