This is a long video, but one of the all time best gardening videos I’ve ever seen. John Kohler has one of the most popular gardening channels on YouTube with 435,000 subscribers. He’s spent years traveling the country studying and reporting on the best gardening techniques. He said the method used by this company (City-Hydro in Baltimore, MD) has the best, most efficient microgreens growing system he’s ever seen. Note how you can use these ideas to feed your family super nutritious leafy greens or scale it up to start making some extra money. In other words, you can start small as an experiment and expand later if you want.
