Re: Inexpensive Sprouters?

[Guest guest]

an easier way to make small or large holes is to heat a darning needle up and

use that( l hold it in a pair of pliers so l dont burn myself)you can vairy the

size by using different sizes or even use knitting needles as long as they are

metel or even nails

They look amazing! They have a great area for draining and air and they're

stackable, look tidy... and they're cheap. And they clearly work well. Well

done, I'm very impressed

plastic containers ($3.19 for two) and I could use my $250,000.00 laser at work

to cut holes just the right size to allow water out and keep the seeds in.  You

have to go here to see these as I don't think I can post images here.  Please

let me know what you think.  I've had several friends ask me to make them a

set.  http://appliedspecialty.com/sprouts/

Yes, I'd be happy to make and sell them and I'd be interested in seeing the

other item you mention. Yes, I have a paypal account.

Now I'm getting excited!

The capabilities with the laser are truly unlimited.

> I just got to my emails and totally WOW on the sprouters using the laser. I

have done this too, but with a hand held electric drill. 1/16 inch is the

smallest bit I have. It takes, like, foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and leaves a little

rough edge making cleaning more difficult, plus my aim ain't what it used to be!

Great use of modern technology for better living.

plastic, open at both ends that you can screw on those colored lids with holes

that sproutpeople.org sells on to one end and a solid plastic lid for the bottom

(One can get the white solid lids for quart ball jars at Ace Hardware or maybe

even amazon.com). I have one and it is perfect for growing very long, thick,

white mung bean sprouts. I cover it with some black material to keep out the

light and use a weight (a rock) to weigh it down to make the sprouts thicker

(Gil's suggestion).

in years and I know people really liked them. Maybe there is some BPA clear

plastic tube stuff available or even black plastic BPA free. That would take

care of the light. The lids could be snap on instead of screw on some how.

Hey! A hot fork is a great idea. The laser makes plenty of smell but we have a

huge smke removal system.

> GREAT IDEA. I wish I could get my hands on that laser. What a fabulous

idea!!! In a post I made previously I explained how I used to do the same thing

using a hot fork and making holes in the lids of containers. But the odor of the

burning plastic did me in. That was years ago.
