FAQ

What are micro-greens?

Microgreens are just-sprouted vegetable/ herb seeds, that are in their first days of growth in fertile compost when picked. When harvested at this young stage of development there is a concentration of vitamins A, B, C and E, enzymes, and minerals (iron, calcium), beta-carotene, several antioxidants and even dietary fibre. In addition to having a low calorie and fat ratio, microgreens are known to be natural antioxidants contributing to the maintenance of good physical health.

What is No-Dig?

No Dig means exactly; 'no digging of the soil'. No Dig methods give superb and time-saving results in the production of nutrient dense food. No Dig leaves soil undisturbed, you feed the masses of soil life by placing organic matter (compost) on the surface, as happens in nature, to maintain drainage and aeration. No dig works on all soils including heavy clay.
