Organic ・Sustainable ・Healthy・Compostable
Simple steps to grow microgreens
- Wash CocoBed in water gently first for about 1 minute to remove debris

- Place in a container or on a plate. They fit takeaway containers perfectly!

- Sprinkle UrbanSproutz all-organic seeds evenly on top and spray with water (filtered if you have it).
- Use about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of smaller seeds (Kale, Purple Kohlrabi, Rocket, Jade Pak Choy, Lucky Clover ...etc) per CocoBed. For Radishes, spread seeds a little more thinly as they are bigger and need space.
- One 30g packet of seeds should last 8-10 CocoBed grows, so its very economical
- Place in dark for 3 days, spraying thoroughly daily. Seeds should always be moist!
You must cover your container or place in a box/ cupboard - as long as it is completely dark. - Yeah, so there is no picture here as its really dark. As it should be :)
- Day 4 remove from blackout - microgreens should be 5cm high and yellow
- Note: If you see something that looks like mould at the bottom of your micros, most likely it is root hairs. It is white and fluffy and freaks a lot of first-time growers out. We get a lots of questions about this. See our You Tube channel (search for "Urban Sproutz") and a video on exactly this.
- Place in a bright and breezy position (not direct sun) and water roots daily.
- No more spraying - just ensure the roots are sitting in 1-2mm of water.
- Use a cup or small watering device to trickle water down the side of your container to lightly flood the container floor 1-2mm (not cm!).
- Days 7-10 harvest by cutting slightly above the Coco Bed !
- Day 7 -10 use what you need and eat raw with your meals.
- ENJOY this nutrient-rich superfood. Congratulations Urban Farmer!
Now Available direct from the US :
For extra umph, use Ocean Solution Plant Food (approved for organic use) to give micros extra nutrients when watering after day 3. Remember it is concentrated so (as a rule of thumb) use 10ml Ocean Solution in a syringe and add to 1 litre of water. Or half both quantities.
We recommend using a new Coco Bed every grow for freshness.
Recycle Coco Bed after use by cutting up and putting in pots / garden soil. Also use broken in pieces as a base in pots to stop soil from seeping through when watered.
