Microgreens enquiries.
Plan your space.

What changes the plan for microgreens enquiries?

Trays at different growth stages may need different arrangements. Describe germination, illumination and harvesting separately; the planner does not recommend crop conditions or certify food production.

Discuss growing conditions, hygiene, water and intended operation before setup. Record the actual packed dimensions and any special requirements before using a generic unit-size comparison.

A practical idea for your workflow

Map each tray to a batch and stage rather than counting every shelf as illuminated canopy. A stage board makes the next handling task visible.

Bring this workflow into the enquiry alongside your measurements. It is a proposed organising method you can adapt, not a service operated on your behalf by the storage team.

Separate storage from operating a system

An equipment store and a live growing operation have different requirements. State the crop or stored equipment, supply needs and proposed activity. For growing, obtain crop-appropriate light and environmental guidance and include reservoirs, handling, cleaning and discharge. No yield, climate-controlled environment, food approval or complete growing package is promised.

Use the right planning inputs

Use the example below to understand the model, then replace the values with your own microgreen trays, illuminated shelving and service space. The example is a method demonstration, not an industry benchmark, facility specification or price quotation.

In this version, the planner highlights rack and allocated handling footprint and actually illuminated microgreen levels. All other fields retain their stated units and assumptions. The result can be added to an enquiry with the inputs attached, so the team can see what the number represents.

Questions to settle before booking

• Which stages are indoors, illuminated or handled elsewhere, and what approval is required?
• What are the actual packed dimensions, longest item and any relevant weight or handling requirements?
• Is the proposed use storage only, or does it include work, utilities, visitors or special materials?
• What rental period, retrieval frequency and collection vehicle will be involved?

The Beckedan facility has 9 m² and 18 m² standard unit footprints, with expansion considered on request. Confirm actual usable dimensions, access arrangements and suitability. The lane is grass, so discuss its current conditions before collection. Rent quotations exclude VAT; utility connections and fit-out are at client expense under agreed terms.
