    Steps of cultivation

    1. Prepare growth medium and generously moisten the surface

    2. Distribute seeds evenly and avoid partial accumulations, moisten

    3. Cover and weigh down with any cover (e.g. a paving stone) 

    4. Germination occurs in 3 - 4 days

    5. Remove cover and transfer to aquaponics system 

    6. The ripe microgreens can be harvested after 12 to 26 days 

    7. The best time is when the microgreens are approx. 5 cm

    8. Since chervil microgreens grow very densely, ensure good air circulation in the room and direct, light ventilation of the plants

    9. Harvesting should take place in the morning or evening due to cooler temperatures
