Beet seeds are an abnormally shaped seed, which contributes to why its preferred medium is soil. Their root systems also require a bit more room to explore and grab hold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrepare your soil in your tray by tamping it and making sure it is moist. After presoaking, sow your seeds and then cover with a thin layer of soil. This provides the ideal conditions for the seeds to germinate. After a while, the beets will start to poke through the the top layer—which also serves to de-shell the seed. Keep covered with the blackout dome for up to five days. After that, place under a grow light or in sunlight until mature! Cut close to the soil line to feature the red stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor more detailed instructions on growing, as well as some troubleshooting and tips, please visit our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trueleafmarket.reamaze.com\/articles\/growing-microgreens-in-soil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSoil Growing Directions page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeets have so many healthy qualities!
