Chervil Common – Microgreen/Sprouting

Chervil Common – Growing Instructions

1. Sow your seeds directly onto a moistened growing medium, which is 3-4cm deep.
2. Lightly mist the seeds with water.
3. Place the seeded tray into a second tray without drainage holes. This will allow you to bottom water the tray
4. Cover with another tray on top to stop light getting in. Then place a weight inside to encourage the roots to grow down and to help the seeds make good contact with the growing medium.
5. Leave the seeds undisturbed for 2 days, there will be enough moisture in the tray for the seedlings. If more water is added, then it increases the chance of mould growing.
6. On day 2-7, check the seeds to see if they’ve germinated. If the soil is dry, then gently mist.
7. After day 7, the seeds should be ready to be placed in a well-lit location.
8. When watering the seedlings, keep using the bottom tray.
9. Harvest between 10-21 days or when the seedlings are 5cm tall, with the first true leaves. Cut the stems above the soil line with a knife or scissors.
