Absolutely!  The MicroFarm was designed to be modular and expandable.  This means that if you start with a Single today and anytime down the road want to increase your growing capacity, you can do so easily. Simply purchase an additional Single MicroFarm, along with a Stacking Kit and a set of Risers, to build your Single MicroFarm up into a Double. To build a Double up to a Triple simply add one more Single MicroFarm and 1 more Stacking Kit.

Room temparature tap water is abolutely perfect for your microgreens, no need for filtering.  There are however some things to consider:

• Very cold or very hot water can shock your plants, affecting their growth. Room temperature water is best.
• Avoid softened water, it can slow the growth of your plants. The Calcium and Mgansium in harder water is actually beneficial to your microgreens.
• Highly chlorinated water will have a negtaive impact on the growth of your microgreens, their appearance and taste.
  

  GRO TIP: An easy and natural way to dechlorinate water (and bring it to room temperature) is to fill the watering container and leave it to sit for a day, uncovered. This will allow the chlorine to evaporate.

Which MicroFarm is best suited to your needs depends on a few of things:

• How frequently you want to include microgreens in your meals
• How many people you are feeding
• How much space you have

If you grow on our SowLogic continuous grow cycle, a Single MicroFarm will yield 8 serving of microgreens per week.  A serving is what we recommend to be the minimum amount of microgreens to include in a meal in order to benefit from their health giving properties.
