Creating a mini misugaru garden in an outdoor plant box is a fun and rewarding way to grow healthy grains even in small spaces. Misugaru, a Korean multigrain powder, comes from nutritious ingredients like barley, brown rice, and beans. Here’s how you can grow your own mini misugaru garden step by step.

1. Choose the Right Plant Box: Select a sturdy outdoor plant box with good drainage. A wooden or ceramic box works well, but ensure it’s deep enough for root growth (at least 6-8 inches).

2. Prepare the Soil: Use nutrient-rich, well-draining soil mixed with compost. Misugaru grains thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).

3. Select Your Grains: Pick misugaru-compatible grains like barley, brown rice, or millet. Soak the seeds overnight to speed up germination.

4. Plant the Seeds: Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart. Lightly cover with soil and water gently.

5. Provide Sunlight & Water: Place the box in a sunny spot (6+ hours of sunlight daily). Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

6. Harvest & Enjoy: Once the grains mature (usually in 60-90 days), harvest, dry, and grind them into fresh misugaru powder for drinks or cooking.

This compact garden is perfect for balconies, patios, or small yards, bringing both greenery and nutrition to your home!
