VXB Bearings Jute Microgreens Growing Mat

No, these mats are designed for single-use. Because they are made of biodegradable jute, they are intended to be composted along with your spent roots after harvest, which keeps your growing process clean and sustainable.

The roll is 10 inches wide, so you can easily cut it to your desired length using standard household scissors. It is designed to be flexible, allowing you to customize it for standard 10x20 trays or smaller custom containers.

They are ideal for most small-seeded microgreens like wheatgrass, alfalfa, and bean sprouts. However, they may not be the best choice for very large seeds or varieties that require a long growth cycle, as the mat will begin to break down over time.

The best approach is to mist the seeds and the mat thoroughly during the initial germination phase. Once the roots have established, you can bottom-water by adding a small amount of water to your tray, allowing the jute to wick moisture up to the seeds.

No, this is natural, biodegradable jute. It is safe for food production and contains no synthetic additives, making it an excellent choice for organic-minded indoor gardening.
