Guest guest Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Melody,Even if you even have insects buzzing around your sprouts, it might not be from the seeds--The past week we had a lot of fruit flies in our kitchen. They particularly loved hanging out in the Easy Sprouter with my Madison Market mix. I think they originally came in with the bananas or maybe even the last of the tomato crop, but discovered my sprouts and also my microgreens and have been around ever since. I know a number of ways to get rid of them, but they are pretty harmless--definitely were not from the seeds or sprouts themselves. Now that I am thinking about it, I think they started showing up when I had my water kefir culture going in the kitchen--I used a fruit base and although they couldn't get into the container, they loved hanging out around it. Fortunately, I think fruit flies are beautiful and aside from getting into my madison market mix, we get along fine LOL I am planning to start some sauerkraut and pickles soon-wonder if they will be attracted to that too. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
