Growing Purple Vienna Kohlrabi Microgreen Seeds

Because kohlrabi seeds easily germinate, presoaking is not necessary. Try growing on a soil-based or hydroponic growing medium. We always recommend beginners start with soil-based growing media as it is the most forgiving to potential variables. A seeding rate of 0.5 oz for a 10x20 tray is recommended. For easy watering, nestle a tray with holes inside one without. Simply add water in the bottom tray to avoid disrupting your seeds and the new growth throughout the process. Cover your newly planted seeds for the first 2-3 days.

Keep your seeds moist but not drowning in water. This will help you avoid molding problems. If mold starts to appear, spray it with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water. Kohlrabi microgreens are ready in only 8-12 days. Harvest with a sharp knife or scissors.
