My name is Mikey and I run Part Of The Solution (POTS) in Colorado Springs.

We are an indoor farm near UCCS that specializes in Sweet Pea Shoots. We also grow Radish and Broccoli Microgreens per request.

Our short term goal is to grow and sell Organic Sweet Pea Shoots locally and affordably.

Mid term we hope to set up a shipping container farm in Colorado Springs. By June of 2028 this shipping container farm should be fully dialed in and operational growing vegetables year round.

The long term goal of POTS is to grow local organic produce for free. As ubiquitously and intelligently as possible.

Thank you for your patronage and all good things.

  • Our Seeds come from TrueLeaf.com. They are delivered and then stored in our grow room.

  • We soak 370g (half a large mason jar) of seeds in water for 6-8 hours. These seeds are then drained and set aside.

  • Next, we mix Pro-Mix MP (organic, pH neutral potting soil), Gaia Green (organic fertilizer) and water.

  • This mix is scooped into a 10x20 tray with holes and spread evenly. A second tray is used to tamp the mixture.

  • The drained seeds are spread across the tamped soil and watered down with a watering can.

  • This tray is then placed in a tray without holes and a tray with two brick pavers is placed on top. This set is ready to germinate and the stack is set aside for 3-4 days in the dark. The weight on top encourages the roots to grow down instead of up and encourages strong seedling growth.

  • Once the trays are germinated they are placed under led lights that run 8-16 hours a day. A fully grown tray results in about 7-9 days and is then harvested.

  • We use an electric knife to cut off the top part of the sprouts, leaving as much stem as possible. This method yields upward of a half pound per tray.

  • The resulting shoots are bagged and refrigerated, ready to be delivered.
