So keep the cotton woll or hemp mat constantly moist durling the whole cultivation. Fortunately this is very easy as you can simply give the fabric or grow mat under the seeds a little water morning and evening. Then your plants will grow well for you.

Your home-grown Cress microgreens have a nicely round taste of cress. The taste is milder in the bigger microgreens than in the small sprouts. This is nice if you find the traditional cress taste a little too much. I personally enjoy cress in any size as spicy topping in salad, sandwiches, wraps and dips.
