Except for the time of year that I start my seeds for the outdoor garden, I am growing lettuces and microgreens inside under Flourescent lighting. All-organic, and I use my own soil mixture, made very similarly to how Marc described making seedling potting soil in his video posted on Feb 6, 2020. My soil recipe, 1/2 part vermiculite, 1 part of my compost made up of grass clippings and chipped up leaves from last fall, 1/3 part kitchen-scrap compost, 1/3 part composted cow manure, 1 part peat moss, and 1/10th part worm castings. (you can also do this with 1 part peat moss, 1/2 to 1 part vermiculite, and 1 part of three different types of compost)

When a tray is done, I throw the soil and leftovers into the worm-bin, and they recycle it into worm castings. These are used to go into soil mixes, and fertilizer for the lawn and garden.

Pros: Love the details and photos are great
I've always tried growing indoor lettuce and it always fails! Luckily I was able to live my dream through this post :p
Pros: Looks healthy
Cons: None
I wish I had the space for this and living in the desert doesn't help. Maybe one day! They look so healthy! Good job :)
