The cultivation of garden cress
Translation: "During pre-germination, the seed must stand
in the dark. After 3-4 days, put the small plants into the
light and preferably cool, then they get the best taste.
In the garden, cress seeds can be sown in a bed in the sun
or partial shade, one can begin in March."
Translation: "However, cress can also be sown on damp
absorbent cotton."
-- in the germination period always keep the soil moist,
on the windowsill use normal potting soil, no fertilizer,
in the garden outdoors sow it in medium garden soil and
water it well when there are dry conditions
-- if you always want to have cress available, you have to
reseed every 2-3 weeks
-- garden cress can be grown in the garden or on the
windowsill, and for healings the bitter flowering plant is
used
-- garden cress grows up to about 30 cm high, is annual

leaflets, the small flowers are white or reddish, the
seeds are reddish-brown in small pods

-- flowers bloom outdoors in June and July in small
umbels, the whole plant then smells spicy
-- Buy cress seeds every year -- garden cress contains
many vitamins -- outdoor cress sometimes has pests on it,

only a short time and is hardly attacked by pests --
garden cress germinates quickly and is available for the
kitchen after 8 to 14 days, in boxes, pots, bowls -- you
sow the cress in a dark place all year round in the
house, in the open field from March -- the soil must
be kept moist, or you sow on damp cotton wool in a shallow
bowl or in a plate, always keep moist -- cotyledons (seed
leaves) often still have seed coats on them, which you
have to pull or brush off, the cotyledons (seed leaves)
are for seasoning (flavoring), best taste is given with a
few days in a light + cool location -- the leaves are for

(Recommended Daily Intake
of nutrients)
-- numerous studies confirm the healing effects of garden
cress
-- taking at least 1 teaspoon per day gives positive
effects, studies say that 1 gram daily is already enough
to achieve healing effects
-- the healing effect comes with regular intake in 3 to 12
weeks - the more vitamins are missing in the patient, the
longer the healing takes
-- the application of garden cress must be done
immediately after harvesting [shortly after cutting],
because already after 30 minutes valuable vital substances
are broken down and vitamins are lost
-- taken raw is best
Quote (translation): "In principle, it is important with
the cress that it is consumed immediately after
harvesting. This is because after just a good half an
hour, the harvested plant breaks down its valuable vital
substances and loses healthy vitamins. In addition, it is
advisable to ingest that plant in raw form."
-- this intake of garden cress causes the first positive
effects in 3 to 12 weeks, which depends on the vitamin
deficiency of the patient person: "The more vitamins are
missing, the longer it also takes to rebuild the vitamin
deposits."

-- you buy the cress seeds in the DIY market or
supermarket or in the Internet (27'') -- in a plastic bowl
3 sheets of kitchen paper are laid out, the kitchen paper
is folded and cut, (52'') -- press the paper into the tray
and pour 1-2mm of water over it (1'5'') -- sprinkle the
cress seeds evenly into the water (1'10'') -- let the
cress seeds swell and rise and give them water daily
(1'26'') -- after 6 days the cress is big enough to
harvest, cut it off with scissors (1'45'') -- after
cutting, the cress will continue to grow for a few days

Video comments and answers about growing cress
-- cress does not grow back permanently and grows back
only partially, when the growth stops you have to reseed
-- you can let the cress grow, then it will form flowers,
and when the flowers are pollinated, new seeds will form
by themselves -- water 2x a day to keep the kitchen paper
moist, there should be no water in the tray [after
germination] -- cress does not need much light, on the
windowsill is enough -- recycled kitchen paper may contain
toxins, so always use regular kitchen paper, street dust
is more toxic than kitchen crepe -- mold on the bottom can
have numerous causes: too little ventilation from too
close planting, too little air movement at the site, too
many mold spores in the air, high humidity, or if you
don't harvest the cress during a long time, it will
eventually provoke mold formation -- all cress grows fast,
it doesn't depend on the brand -- there are extra "cress
plates" from the company "GREEN EARTH" with water grooves
for optimal watering of the cress -- in summer the cress
germinates faster than in winter -- older seeds take
longer to germinate than fresh seeds -- the brighter, the
better the cress grows -- recycled paper contains toxic
printing ink -- the cress seeds then consume the water or
the water also evaporates
-- sowing on earth soil, growth takes about the same
amount of time -- the seeds are edible, but don't taste
good -- garden cress can be grown indoors, not just in the
garden -- the cress sprouts get their energy from the seed
and don't need soil, the water on kitchen paper is enough
-- shallow glass dish works too -- it has to be a paper
that absorbs liquid, toilet paper should work -- sprouts
use the nutrients of the seeds, only then those of soil

-- take a plate and put cotton wool or 3 layers of
kitchen paper in it, sprinkle the seeds on it and place
the plate in a place above 15 degrees with light or
partial shade (1'15'') -- direct sunlight dries out the
base too quickly (1'23'') -- the cress is sprayed with
water several times a day with a spray bottle, and after
4 days you can see the green cress growing (1'43'') --
