No need to wait - start with what you have. I'd do jars and cheesecloth - which

I did for years. Some of the seeds are very small, so you'll probably want a

couple of layers of cloth - if you have an unused paint strainer hanging around,

(which is just a bag you put over paint and pour through) - you could use it -

the holes on it are very fine. Lots of YouTubes on sprouting with jars.

No time like the present! <G>

going to be getting a reverse osmosis system for under our sink - until then,

Put three tablespoons of the seeds into you jar, and rinse and drain (1st step),

it will get them wet and get all the dust off of them. Then pour enough water to

half of the jar (completely covering the seeds). Let soak over night. The next

morning, put cheesecloth over the top of the jar and secure with rubber band.

Rinse and drain every 12 hours.

In a few days you will see SPROUTS.

In 5 days they will be done. Make sure you drain completely. I'd put them on a

tilt in my dish drain rack as this will be your first attempt right?. This is

how we all began to learn how to sprout. Once you have done this, you'll know

what you are doing, and you can look into the various kinds of sprouters.

I've tried them all, home made, mason jars, plastic containers, etc. I now use

Sprout Garden.

Best thing I ever did.

Let us know how you do

Thanks - not exactly my first time, but my first time with tiny seeds.

 

I jumped right in with kamut grain, and then soft winter white. I used a mason

jar with those, and cut up an orange bag (plastic netting) and used several

layers of that with a rubber band. I've been doing that rather regularly for a

few weeks I guess.

 

But I was concerned about the tiny seeds. I did buy some cheesecloth a few days

back, and will give it a try with the tiny seeds in a jar.

 

YIPPEE!!!!!! So glad I discovered sprouting!!!  Are you the one with the cool

new set up with shelves and lamp and such? If so, I loved that.

I bought a small package (2 oz) of sprouting seeds from my local health food

to sprout these? I have jars and cheese cloth, and I have a veggie type of

In my opinion you never want to drink RO water UNLESS you are going to put a

remineralization canister after the RO system. RO strips out all the

chemicals but also strips out all the nutrients the water is carrying into

your body. Water in nature picks up the minerals from the stones it flows

over and you need these in your body. You don't want to put RO water in your

body as it will pick up the minerals in your body just like water does in

nature.

if ti were me (because I love savory) - I'd grow cilantro. It's wonderful on

almost everything, in my book. The only thing is that it goes to seed quickly

if you don't harvest it regularly. You can dry it, if you want. I had some

this morning on a dish I cobbled up -

toasted sesame seed oil

onion chopped

potato chopped

fry a bit, with some salt and some curry (to taste)

add chicken broth and cover to steam out the potatoes

towards end add mung bean sprouts

stir and cook the broth down

serve with cilantro on top (coarsely chopped)

Next time I might just do a little (very little) cayenne.

Okay, let's say I want to grow radishes. Do I just take some sprouts, and plant

can eat them?

No, I think you start with the seeds, Melody. - not sprouts - unless you happen

to do some starts (in something like egg cartons, etc.) in the house and

transfer them to the planter as the little plant gets larger. You'll end up

with plants.

Yes, you would plant the seeds directly in the soil. Radishes don't transplant

well, so you should plant the seeds directly in your soil. For the Nasturtiums

(seeds 1 " deep into the soil), you eat the flowers, you can also eat the

leaves. I use the leaves mixed in the lettuce leaves. Nasturtiums come in

either as a climber or 18 - 30 " plant depending on the variety you choose. They

are very pretty decorating a salad, but be sure to soak them in cold water for a

minute or two to bring out the little ants that like to suck on their nectar or

you'll have extra protein in your salad. That happened to me once. I couldn't

figure out how these tiny, tiny little ants got into my salad, until I saw one

crawl out.

I've decided to grow radish. So I put some seeds in some soil in the egg carton

and when do I then transplant them. I really have no clue. How long till they

get to be RADISHES???

Okay, I read the info. I thought I could grow radishes all summer long (see how

dumb I am). And it said it should not be in the sun too much. The front of my

house BAKES during the summer. My front door gets so hot, well, I'm not doing

radishes. I'll do what I used to do before I did the basil. I planted lovely

flowers. I would go to the supermarket and they would have these little pots and

I would trasplant them and in the summer my front porch was BEAUTIFUL.

If I'm successful, I'll make a video. This won't happen till way after May but

it's nice to know I can do something other than sprouting.

If I had my own backyard, I'd buy one of those tomotato tree things.

Thanks very much

Just regular bowls are being used to sprout? Was it you that spoke

earlier in the week about someone that only used bowls...someone

online?Since we live in a YouTube/video society...I have to ask,is

there a video showing this?

I like the idea of the simplicity

Jars is one sprouting method. I went many years ago to a local hardware store

and bought window screen. It is a very soft form of plastic that can be fitted

over jars with rubber bands. I cut it up in squares. Easy to clean. I have

them for over 10 years. Good for all size seeds. Rather inexpensive also.

step), it will get them wet and get all the dust off of them. Then pour enough

water to half of the jar (completely covering the seeds). Let soak over night.

The next morning, put cheesecloth over the top of the jar and secure with rubber

band. Rinse and drain every 12 hours.

how we all began to learn how to sprout. Once you have done this, you'll know

what you are doing, and you can look into the various kinds of sprouters.

Another trick that works very well with tiny seeds, is to cut the foot of a pair

of panty hose and put it over the mason jar with a rubber band. Just be sure to

sanitize them well with peroxide and a good wash before use. I buy the little

footie things that come in one of those plastic bubble gum looking containers

for about 50 cents, then just sanitize them and keep them specifically for that

use. They are perfect since they allow water to drain out completely, but catch

the tiny little seeds.
