microgreen grow system with two sub irrigation trays. This system automates sub irrigation, which is simply watering from below the root zone instead of pouring water from above. Sub irrigation is beneficial to microgreen growth because you\u2019re not saturating the seedling canopy which encourages mold growth.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis system was designed with simplicity in mind. A small pump recirculates water through an inner flood tray specifically designed for the shallow root mass of microgreens. The inner tray is nested into an outer tray, which retains enough water to saturate the rootzone while preventing overflows.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe system is pictured here with customized flood trays, but a version can be made with common materials found online or at the hardware store! This system is easy to build, easy to maintain, and a cinch to move or ship. This system is a great starting point for anyone looking to grow fresh salad greens with minimal fuss and space requirements.\n<\/p>\t\n<center>\n<h5>Unique Project Features<\/h5>\n<\/center>\n<ul>\n\t<li>Automates watering when used with a timer<\/li>\n\t<li>Minimizes risks associated with top watering microgreens<\/li>\n\t<li>Maximizes rootzone drainage and aeration<\/li>\n\t<li>Compact footprint - great on a countertop or unused shelf<\/li>\n\t<li>Flexible catchment is simple to fill and easy to clean<\/li>\t\n\t<li>Modular design is easy to assemble, disassemble, or scale to your needs<\/li>\t\n\t<li>Simple design utilizing common materials<\/li>\n\t<li>Minimal tooling required to build a complete system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<center>\n<h5>Project Resources<\/h5>\n<\/center><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-w5bab2849da115-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-w5bab2849da115-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w5bab2849da115-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-features panel-first-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-features so-widget-sow-features-default-3f126d5d7a24\">\n<div class=\"sow-features-list sow-features-responsive\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-features-feature sow-icon-container-position-top sow-features-feature-last-row\" style=\"width: 50%\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.primebox.org\/?page_id=545\" >\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-icon-container sow-container-round\"\n                    style=\"color: #404040; \"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Make it\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-fas\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf085;\"\n\t\tstyle=\"font-size: 25px; color: #FFFFFF\" ><\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.primebox.org\/?page_id=545\" >\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMake it!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<hr \/>Build this project from commonly available materials.
