While performing my daily rinse and spin with my 3 easy sprouts I realized that

having more than 3 of these would be too much for me to work with.

I have small hands that just barely can hold the containers by their rims and

the spin action (as depicted by Gil in his videos) is very tiring to me (and I

am quite fit)

The sprout garden is much easier for me--I mean, I do like both sprouting

devices but am glad I have 3 and not more of the easy sprout

Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone is considering buying either one,

Peggy,I find that having the sprout garden really makes a difference for me. Â I

just rinse and leave them tilted in the dish drainer for 10 minutes or so. The

Easy Sprout has the best drainage, but I have not had any problems with the

sprout garden.I sprout my birds' mixes in large colanders and that is soooo

easy. Just takes up a ton of space. But they are in my laundry/mud room near the

birdroom so it doesn't get in my way in the kitchen.Not a space to spare in the

kitchen at this point. When the Aerogarden arrives, I have a very nice spot in a

corner of the dining room for it.Â nÂ

Hi n,

I have two Easy Sprouters and I know what you mean. I also have small hands and

I cannot hold the containers as Gil does. I hold it by the rim one-handed with

my thumb inside and fingers outside. Then I try to do his spin-thing. It's best

to do this with the dome cover in place upside down as sometimes the seeds go

flying! It's harder to get the water off as the sprouts grow. When they fill

about 3/4 of the container, I use the salad spinner to dry them. I haven't

bought a sprout garden, but probably will at some point.

Peggy and n,

I no longer emulate Gil in the way I drain my Easy Sprouts. I use an action much

closer to how he drains the SproutMaster in his video. I hold the cup in two

hands and shake it gently and not too fast up and down, kind of bouncing off the

bottom of the motion. This way, you are using gravity to help. I can get more

water out this way than by Gil's circular motion. I also cannot hold the cup the

way Gil does nor spin it as fast.

lifting up and down. Definitely a challenge to those of us with small hands.

I do a combination of the three with the Easy Sprout as well. I made two

Easy Sprout type vessels from tall, round Sterilite containers. These are a

little larger than the Easy Sprout so that wouldn't help small hands, but

the problem I have with the Easy Sprout is that it is too flexible. As I

start the spin it, the plastic flexes and it starts to slide out of my hand.

The Sterilite containers are much more ridged and the have a lip around the

top that allows me grip them tighter and I'm able to spin them as shown in

the videos.

Hi.

You are going to LOVE YOUR SPROUT GARDEN. I don't know what I would do without

all my round green trays. The fact that they stack, well, it's so convenient. I

could never spin the containers the way Gil does in his video. My hands couldn't

take it. With the round green trays, I simply add some water or dunk in a bowl

of clean water, and drain in my dish rack (on a tilt), and re-stack.

I have NEVER had a problem with mold in over 2 years. When I first began

learning how to sprout and I was doing the mason jar thing, of course I was a

newbie and still learning what I was doing.

I must have forgotten to drain properly and I smelled something in one of the

jars and I said " THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO SMELL LIKE THIS " .

They were soft and mushy also. That's when I joined this group and learned the

correct ways of sprouting and the correct method of keeping them so they

wouldn't get moldy.

I have been using the sprout garden (I actually have 3 sets), for over 2 years

now and couldn't be happier.

And once I get my Flip video recorder back from the Flip people, I'll make a

video, and show you my brand new set up in my kitchen.

You'll get such a kick out of what I did. lol

The other benefit of the sprout garden is that if you allow your sprouts to grow

big and leafy, they are truly beautiful to see--When I saw Melody's sprout

gardens overflowing with lush green broccoli sprouts (and something else mixed

in), I knew they were what I wanted.I am currently sprouting broccoli and clover

in my sprout gardens but have wheatberries and peas in easy sprouts.Â I will

probably soak some radish and kale tonight to keep us in sprouts and ensure we

don't run out.You won't regret getting a sprout garden. We gave my sister one

for Christmas and she has been sprouting broccoli and other stuff ever since.

She lost 21 pounds!Â nproud of her sister

Take a look at Melody's videos on Youtube, plus HandyPantry has one too.I soak

my seeds overnight and then rinse and drain well. I usually leave the sprout

garden at a tilt for anywhere from 10-20 minutes. I rinse and drain twice a day.

Keep them stacked out of light until I want to green them up. I don't always do

that. My kitchen tends to be pretty warm. The temperature and air circulation

can be an issue.Â Please take a look at those videos and compare what they are

doing to what you are doing. If all is the same, then perhaps it is a

temperature and air circulation?wish I could be of more help!marion

Hi frecs7:

Here's one of my videos (I explain how I use various covers to cover my trays

but for the life of me, I can't find that video. Oh I can't wait until I get my

flip video camera back.

Hi there.

I found a better video showing my trays and my sprouting shelves (which I moved

to another location but that's another story, lol).

They key to successful sprouting in these round green trays could not be

simpler. Just make sure you drain at a tilt. What I do is add some water, and

then tilt the trays on my dish rack. (I have a video doing this, I'll go and

find it and post it).

Once the sprouts drain completely, just re-stack.

Could not be simpler.

Frecs7:

I finally found the video about rinsing and draining. It shows you how I do this

so fast you won't believe it. I have 6 or 7 trays. If you have only 3, you can

do this in a few seconds. Just let the trays DRAIN WELL!!!! that's the key to

having nice juicy plump sprouts

Here you go:

ooohhh...watching the " How To Grow Sprouts With The Handy Pantry Sprout Garden "

I discovered another tip that I needed: to lift the mat of sprouts and rinse

away the unsprouted seeds. That's where some of the rotting comes from...

My pleasure. And if my Flip video camera comes tomorrow, I'll make a video of my

new greening up method. I moved a bookcase to another location, attached a lamp

THAT MOVES, and you'll get such a kick out of it. I even surprised myself at

what I was able to do. Just call me MacGuyver Melody

lol

How many people are growing sprouts in soil rather than using a

sprouter? Can everyone weigh in on how they choose the method they

use please?

Thanks so much

I grow wheatgrass, sunflower greens, and peas in soil, sprouts in either a

sprout garden or Easy Sprout, microgreens on clay or a hemp bag.

I like those methods because they work for me, are inexpensive, take little

time, and make little mess.

How does one grow sprouts in soil? Broccoli for example. Isn't it messy?

Technically if you grow in soil it is not a sprout, it's a shoot or a

microgreen. With a sprout you eat the entire little plant including the roots.

Shoots and microgreens are clipped off at the soil or growing medium and some of

them like peas and grass can grow back for more cuttings. I grow sprouts in

mason jars and EasySprouts as well as pea and sunflower shoots and wheat grass

in growers flats.

Lee and list,

I was planning to grow both sunflower and buckwheat in grower flats.

Thank you for explaining the difference between sprout and

microgreens. Did you purchase your growers flats online? What typer

of soil do you use?

I use a sprouter for sprouts and soil for microgreens such as buckwheat

lettuce, pea shoots, etc.
