Our Research & Development facility is currently home to a micro seed trial. The trial is designed to explore the potential of a multi-level growing system which we are developing for supermarkets and kitchens.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/autopot.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/News-Jan-18-Herbs-Image-2-300x225.jpg\")
punnets to begin the germination process. Propagation lids are placed over the trays whereupon the seeds are allowed to grow for several days. Once the small seedlings have created a canopy the propagation lids can be removed. Harvesting can take place between 7-10 days and the process can quickly, cleanly and easily be started all over again.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/autopot.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/01\/News-Jan-18-Herbs-Image-3-300x225.jpg\")
The seeds we have used for the trial (pictured) are Amaranth, Radish, Red Basil, Mizuna and Mustard.<\/p>\n
