the ingarden difference
the seed pads are specifically designed for ingarden’s hydroponic gardening system and grow microgreens in as little as seven days.
made from biodegradable virgin spruce wood fluff fibers, ingarden pads hold the microgreen seeds and deliver a steady supply of water that, in conjunction with the wicks, mimics the process of transpiration pull that occurs in soil-grown plants.
all you need to do is add water once and harvest fresh, organic microgreens one week later.
