How To Grow Affila Pea Microgreens: Place a tray with holes inside a tray with no holes. Fill the tray with holes with ¾ inch of fine compost. Compact the compost. Spread the Pea microgreen seeds evenly over the compost, leaving a small bit of space between each seed. Press the seeds into the soil. Cover the seeds with a light layer of compost and compact again. Water the seeds and soil. Place a tray with no holes on top of the seeds and soil. Add roughly 4kg of weight into the tray, so the seeds are kept pressed into the soil.

After 2 - 3 days the Affila Pea microgreens will be pushing the weighted tray into the air. Remove the weighted tray. Water the microgreens from the top. Turn the weighted tray upside down and replace it on top of the sprouting peas so it acts as a dome.

On day 4 - 6, remove the dome and place them under a grow light, onto a window sill, or into light in a greenhouse. When in light, water each day by pouring water into the bottom, until day 10 - 12.

Between day 10 - 12, harvest all of the speckled pea microgreens using a sharp knife or scissors. Store the harvested microgreens in the refrigerator.
