You will need the following equipment and items to grow Microgreen Radish.

SPACE: In order to be able to grow radish microgreens indoors, you'll need a few things. Space is one of them. Indoors, you can grow microgreens on a kitchen window sill or under a grow light in a well-ventilated, temperature-controlled space.

CONTAINERS: Which container is best for growing radish microgreens? It doesn't matter what container you put them in because radish microgreens will thrive in it. When growing radish microgreens, I use food-safe, biodegradable plastic boxes or glass jars.

SOIL: The soil must be well-drained and loaded with nutrients for radish microgreens to grow well. An acidic soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7 is ideal for it. My most preferred soil, after testing so many different kinds of soil is Ocean Forest Potting Soil, as it has everything your plants need in one bag. As an alternative, you can grow radish microgreens in a mix of peat, vermiculite, and perlite.

LIGHT: I love the Barrina LED lights because they are bright and are an on-budget product I can live with. I use four LED lights per shelf and have complete coverage on all three shelves.

SEEDS: Spread two teaspoons of radish microgreens seeds in 5x5 pots on top of the moistened soil.
