Who We Are
Urban Macrogreens is a practical resource for people who want to grow fresh microgreens at home—even if they only have a small shelf, a kitchen counter, or a corner of a room.
We share step-by-step growing guides, variety notes, troubleshooting help (mold, leggy growth, weak germination), and simple ways to use microgreens in everyday meals. The goal is straightforward: help you get consistent harvests without wasting trays, seeds, or time.
Why This Website Exists
Microgreens look easy until you try them. Most beginners encounter the same issues—too much moisture, poor airflow, inadequate lighting, or routines that aren’t repeatable.
Urban Macrogreens was created to make the process clearer and more reliable by focusing on what actually affects results: sanitation, light, moisture control, airflow, and timing.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: make homegrown nutrition accessible and sustainable, even in small urban spaces.
We believe you shouldn’t need expensive equipment to grow something fresh. If you can follow a basic routine, you can grow microgreens consistently.
What We Cover
You’ll find content focused on real-world growing and everyday use, including:
- Getting started: trays, lights, watering, airflow, harvest timing
- Variety guides: taste, difficulty level, common issues, best uses
- Troubleshooting: mold prevention, damping-off, slow growth, yellowing
- Storage & use: washing, drying, fridge storage, salad mixes, recipes
- Tools & supplies: what matters, what you can skip, what’s worth buying
How We Keep It Trustworthy
A lot of advice online is either too vague or overly complicated. We try to keep things practical and honest:
- Clear steps you can follow, not hype
- Explanations that help you understand why problems happen
- Recommendations based on usefulness, not trends
- When we reference claims or numbers, we aim to use credible sources—or we label it as general guidance
