It's a cool, crisp morning breeze after an early March shower. The sweet fragrance of blossoms lingering in the air. A profusion of white and brilliant yellow hues radiates an otherwise grey backdrop.
This is spring inside our home. From marigold, zinnias, cold-force daffodils and hyacinth, to paperwhites, it's always spring — any blooming time! Boxfarm is more than just for microgreens. In upcoming posts we’ll show you how to grow soil-free flowers and micro herbs year-round from the comfort of home. Here's a quick tip for growing paperwhites from late fall to spring. Growing Basics Use 2-3 large paperwhite bulbs and place them on top of the perforated grow rack. Fill the grow box with large loose pebbles or stones to support the bulb before they take root. Add enough water so it touches just the bottom of the bulbs. Refill with water about once per week. In about 7-9 days the bulbs will start to sprout shoots and in 3-4 weeks they'll bloom!

I’m looking forward to some more info on different plants to grow. I tried growing lettuce in my Boxfarm but I think I could do a better job next time with my experience plus some helpful hints from you guys!

I tried growing mini leaf lettuce. It worked out ok but I did not have very good germination. I also think that I didn't use enough soil. And then I found some aphids helping themselves to my lettuce. I threw it out and washed my Boxfarm in the dishwasher. Now, I'm ready for round 2.

No where on the site does it give specific instructions for the microgreen process. I lost my instruction sheet how to set it up for growing. Soak the mat with nutrients? without? how much water...etc.
