I have not gotten a couple of emails that I sent this morning, one to n and

two to Melody. They are on the messages but none in my email.

Is anyone else seeing this happen?

Hi Molly. I'm doing all three myself-Easygreen autosprouter, STG and soil to

compare them. Just started a crop on the STG. Watering w/ OceanSolution and

Citricide which is supposed to prevent mold. Whats your experience w/ the 3 and

which do you recommend? I get a lot of mold w/ the soil, but am going to get

lights and a fan to help curtail the mold. Any recommendations for the mold

problem. My first batch in the Easygreen is coming along well. I found I have to

take it out of the unit and hand water for a few days because it gets too tall

for the sprouter. Whats your experience w/ grass in the Easygreen? Thanks for

any info.

Re: Sprout / wheatgrass lighting ideas

Hi --

Sorry for the delay in replying. I grow wheatgrass alone on a large tray in my

(enclosed) EasyGreen autosprouter, or in counter trays with STG (SureToGrow)

pads. These are irregularly felted pads, that resemble thin quilting batting,

that provide a compostable, firm, neutral rooting medium.

I do believe that wheatgrass and sunflower sprouts are tastier and more

nutritious in soil, but I've made the modifications that work best for me. I'm

gently examining hydroponic grow options for larger leafy salad greens for the

spring, it seems like a natural extension of my sprouting.

do other sprouts? Have you ever tried to do them with soil?
