I can see that you have moisture, which i assume is water. Interesting technique! One question...did you hold your camera sideways on purpose, or did you rotate your video before processing? I felt like I had to turn my head to the side to see it properly. Just curious is all. Thanks for the info!
Interesting technique. Bioponics is a really new subject to me. This is actually the first time that I have encountered that technique. Is it the same with hydroponics? I am just a bit lost when you said that there is actually no need for water or synthetic fertilizer to germinate seeds with this type of grow bed. From what I understood, you're just using burlap and fiberglass screen to sprout the seeds, how is this possible without the use of any water or fertilizer? Thanks.
@hydroplanting microgreens don't prticularly require nutrients. most are all stored in seed for first phase of growth, though I like the nutrients once roots take hold. could be same with hydroponics and aquaponics. just that we use our beds for ebb flow or deep water, using tray rock media. more on site bioponica org
@budmonkies without burlap the seeds were drying out too quickly. to clean the screens I drop burlap and roots with rocks into a sock within our incubator, decomposing the organics away from rocks for later reuse. also keeps nutrients in system as part of closed loop nutrient cycle.

Is it easy to clean the screens of stems and roots? What do you think would happen if the burlap wasn't used?
