Microgreens are nutrient-packed, young plants that are easy to grow and perfect for urban gardeners. But can you use an outdoor plant box to cultivate them? The answer is yes! Here’s how:

1. Choose the Right Box: Opt for a shallow, well-draining outdoor plant box to prevent waterlogging, which can harm microgreens.

2. Soil and Seeds: Use a high-quality potting mix and sprinkle microgreen seeds evenly. Popular choices include kale, radish, and broccoli.

3. Sunlight and Water: Place the box in a spot with partial sunlight (4-6 hours daily). Water lightly to keep the soil moist but not soggy.

4. Harvesting: Microgreens are ready in 1-3 weeks. Snip them just above the soil line for fresh, homegrown greens.

Outdoor plant boxes are a versatile and space-efficient way to grow microgreens, making them ideal for balconies, patios, or small gardens. Happy growing!
