-For one tray of wheatgrass wash 1lb wheat seed and soak for 24 hours rinsing every 4 hours. - Place seeds in tray and keep in dark until sprouted. Seeds must be kept lightly moist at all times so rinse morning and evening. Moistened kitchen paper can be used for this purpose. -When seeds have sprouted fill tray with organic compost and remove any lumps. - Flatten out soil, and then spread sprouts out to cover soil, one and a half layers is sufficient. Press down gently and lightly water. Then place in dark for another night. - At this stage you should have little white stalks one and a half inches tall. Water lightly and place in tray in indirect sunlight. At this point you can add kelp to water to aid healthy growth. One feed in the life is enough. - When grass reaches 7-10 inches it is ready to cut. Cut approx one-quater tray per hit. rinse and put through juicer first. Drink to your health! Mould Mould is a common problem with wheatgrass. It is of no danger if taken in juice, all the same if permitted to thrive, it can stunt growth of grass. Here are a few pointers to help the eradication of mould: - Mould is caused by seeds that have not sprouted., therefore prick out any obviously dead seeds you see. - Mould can also be caused by humidity so keep that in cheque. never let trays go over 70kg. - Adding a spoon of sea salt to spray water is an easy and effictive way of keeping mould at bay. Growing Space Space often can become a problem once you start growing lots of wheatgrass and sprouts. Very inexpensive racks can be purchased from a local hardware store, or you can make a rack with PVC pipes. This seems to be a better solution for those who have their wheatgrass scattered all over their kitchen. Old Grass If you don’t use the grass fast enough, your wheatgrass will get old, so here is a good solution! Whether you buy or grow your own flat of wheatgrass, if you don’t use the grass fast enough it begins to turn yellow and wilt (because it has used all the minerals from the soil.) Right as it begins to tinge yellow, cut all the rest of the grass off of the flat and put it in a plastic bag in your refrigerator. The grass will last for about one week after it is cut.
