Re: Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink... Also, Sprout milk?

, other than the first rinse - when you rinse to make sure the seeds are

not dirty - and the soak water, you can drink the rinse water, or make soup,

etc. When you do your daily rinse, you are merely giving you seeds a drink. A

number of the group drink the water. I use it all. I have several hanging

baskets, which need water every day, especially now while its so hot. It all

goes in my outdoor garden or my house plants.

Hey Sprouters -

I've recently returned to sprouting, although I now live in a desert. I

would like to reclaim the water used rinsing, etc, and I thought maybe some

inside gardening tips or other ideas for what to to do with the water, might

come from this group. I pretty much have sun all year 'round.

Also: I would really like to know a novel and easy way to make sprout milk,

and I'm wondering what kinds of milk like this are out there! Ideas about where

to start?

Thanks!

Before I say something... please be aware that I am a real beginner for

sprouting... I heard the part of reason for rinse is to wash out some

toxic stuff from sprouting.... I don't know if it is okay to reuse the water

without filtering....

Roman, I would have to see some documentation on that. Since you can eat

sprouts at any stage in their growth, I'm going to say that that is not a true

statement.

What about mold?  I live in Florida, and I've definitely seen mold in my

brassicas.  And while I can't SEE it in the others, I wonder if it's there.

Hi - like yourself, I also live in the desert (So Cal) and water use is

restricted in many places. I use the rinse water from my sprouts (as well as

dish water etc) that I catch into a dish pan when I do dishes and rinse sprouts.

 

Then I use that water for plants - pots, hanging baskets and on the ground.

Saves me a TON of water (no watering!!!) and allows me to do a (very ) small

part to conserve.

What your most likely seeing are the root hairs which brassicas are famous for

and not mold at all.....continue to rinse as usual...and enjoy.....the only time

I truly suspect real mold is when the sprouts are actually climbing out of my

sprout jars.....

J- with brasicas, make sure your not seeing tiny, tiny hair roots. Use a

magnifying glass. A lot of new sprouters make that mistake.

I guess I'm going to look into or design some sort of book-shelf garden I can

water with the sprout water, hopefully something that could be gravity-watered

with drip tubing. Anyone else doing that? I have one nice large sliding glass

door I would love to garden with. Anyway, I know it's not specifically about

sprouts exactly, not sure if it's too off-topic for here. It's funny that my

sprout interest is going to lead to another project, but I'm an avid hobbyist

(bee-keeping, etc) of all sorts so... it's tough to stop...
