How to Create Recurring Plantings
Recurring plantings are great for many scenarios, but two in particular. First, you're new to growing microgreens. You need a steady product, but you lack regular orders. Second, you prefer to start by putting trays into production. Then, you subtract volume as you sell microgreens to your customers.
