1. Set up your trays: Assemble the outer bowl, ReGrow insert, and Microgreens tray.
2. For ReGrow:Place vegetable tops (like celery, carrots, leeks, spring onions) in shallow water.Position in good light and change water every few days.Watch new shoots appear in 5–10 days.
3. For Microgreens:Soak the absorbent gel with water until evenly damp.Sprinkle microgreen seeds evenly across the fabric disc (not included — available at most garden centres).Cover lightly and mist daily until germination.Harvest within 1–3 weeks once shoots reach 5–8 cm.
4. Enjoy: Snip and eat fresh — from windowsill to plate in seconds.

Wiggly Tip: Use a mix of spicy (radish, mustard) and mild (pea, sunflower) microgreens for beautiful, balanced salads.

At Lower Blakemere Farm, we’re passionate about closing loops — turning waste into life, and life into nourishment.
This Microgreens + ReGrow Kit embodies that ethos perfectly: it helps you reduce waste, grow food sustainably, and connect with the living cycle of plants — all from the comfort of your kitchen.

Every kit we send supports our wider regenerative farming mission here in Herefordshire: building soil, supporting wildlife, and helping people reconnect to food and farming in everyday life.

Microgreens are harvested at the seedling stage — just after the cotyledon leaves develop. At this point, they’re incredibly nutrient-dense, containing concentrated levels of vitamins C, D, E, and K, plus essential minerals and antioxidants that support health and immunity.

Meanwhile, ReGrow uses plants’ natural regenerative ability — the dormant cells in root and stem bases re-activate when exposed to moisture and light, producing fresh edible growth. It’s a simple yet powerful way to demonstrate plant biology, reduce food waste, and increase kitchen productivity.

Together, these systems make small-space growing accessible to everyone — no soil, no chemicals, no waste, and all the joy of homegrown food.

Keep it thriving:

• Keep trays in a bright, warm spot (ideally 18–22°C).
• Mist or water daily to keep growing media moist, not soggy.
• Rinse regrown veg every few days and refresh water to prevent stagnation.
• Harvest microgreens just before use for maximum flavour and nutrition.

FAQs
Do seeds come with the kit?
No — microgreen seeds can be purchased at most garden centres.
What can I ReGrow?
Leeks, celery, spring onions, lettuce hearts, carrot tops, beetroot leaves and herbs like basil or coriander stems.
Is it messy?
No soil required — clean, indoor growing at its simplest.
How long will it last?
The trays are reusable indefinitely with proper care. The gel and fabric discs can be replaced after several uses.
Is it suitable for kids?
Absolutely — it’s a brilliant educational activity showing how plants regrow and photosynthesise.

Wiggly Tips:

• ReGrow carrot tops for colourful edible leaves — great in pesto!
• Rotate crops for a constant harvest: sow one tray weekly.
• Use Bokashi or worm compost tea to water microgreens for a natural nutrient boost.
• Keep cut microgreens in a sealed box in the fridge for up to a week.
