Description
Grow fresh microgreens indoors all year round – even in winter or in a small apartment – with this simple, low-cost DIY Micro Garden.
This Micro Garden was designed for growing microgreens indoors, especially during winter or for people who don’t have access to a garden or outdoor space.
Using this setup, you can grow fresh pea shoots in as little as 7 days, thanks to a compact grow light and a simple but effective design. The attached photos show the full process – from planting seeds to harvesting healthy green shoots.
All parts needed for assembly are described in the included assembly manual. The design is optimized for easy printing, simple assembly, and flexibility, so you can adapt it to your own needs.
The idea for this project came from a simple reason:
My wife wanted to buy a similar product for 120€.
Instead, I designed this version – which you can build yourself for around 10€, including the light.
This Micro Garden is not limited to pea shoots. You can also grow:
Simply adjust seed density and harvesting time to your preference.
For the grow light, I used an inexpensive LED light purchased on TEMU (link), but you are free to use:
Thanks to the extra mounting holes, the system can be easily adapted to different lighting setups.
