Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 By the way, I see there was a discussion on the terra cotta sprouter back in 2006. I just read through it--there is some good info there.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 I do not follow the instructions that come with the EasySprout. I rinse twice daily from the beginning. Just as I do the sprouts in my jars. If you bought the EasySprout from , you would have gotten a set of their instructions, which I feel are better. ew Re: Terra Cotta Sprouter Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 02:54:22 -0000 I was using a ton of water because I thought it was necessary, both to give them ALL a drink and to rinse off any yukky stuff that was developing on them. I see they're not rinsed that often with the Easy Sprout either, just to give them a drink. I was very surprised to see that I was not to water them for 24 hours after the initial soak and drain and dry. Live and learn!

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 Oh good because AS USUAL I didn't read the instructions before starting and I've been watering twice a day also :-) Lorri _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Ernest Willingham Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 8:10 PM Subject: Re: Terra Cotta Sprouter I do not follow the instructions that come with the EasySprout.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 Hmm, about the Easy Sprout directions. I don't know whether the instructions I've got are the ones you think are better or the ones you think are worse--but I do think they could have been written better. It came in what appears to be the professional box like you'd see on a store shelf so I assumed the instructions were also the right ones. Actually, I never thought about there being any other set of instructions--who would? I started out sprouting thinking that if I didn't give the seeds/sprouts tons of water then they would just shrivel up and die, and I'd be a baaaada mama! What I've learned from this whole discussion is that it just ain't so. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 The instructions that come in the EasySprout box seem to work fine for them, but they are in Wisconsin. Most of the rest of us aren't. I often read gardening instructions written by people who live in climates different than mine, who have not got a clue to how to garden in SoCal. The other instruction that I mentioned was a xeroxed copy produced by the . Worked better for me. I had the privelge to see a video on 'The Gardener Guy " show on HGTV that was was done by Gil of . It showed how he uses the EasySprout. I do what he do. ew Re: Terra Cotta Sprouter Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:07:27 -0000 Hmm, about the Easy Sprout directions.
