# Microgreens

## 2024-08-24

the cost-to-entry was extremely low.

See spreadsheet below for details on the first grow. Enjoy some (limited) pictures of the first grow!

trays. The soil is run-of-the-mill Home Depot potting mix and the seeds come
from [True Leaf Market](https://www.trueleafmarket.com).
