Instructions
- Preparation: Wash 1½ cups of dried mung beans and soak in cold water for 24 hours.
- Setting Up the Planter: Place an onion pouch at the bottom of the planter for drainage, then line it with a paper towel.
- Planting the Beans: Spread the soaked mung beans evenly over the paper towel in the planter.
- Watering: Water the beans thoroughly every three hours, making sure the water drains well. Cover the planter with a black cloth to block light.
