DIY Growing Alfalfa Sprouts

[jadita44]

Hi thanks for the video very good! theres a ton of negative info online about alfalfa sprouts and sprouting in general...people soking their seeds in bleach and then boling the sprouts. The CDC is againt sprouts because of e-coli outbreaks..How true is this info? Can we trust growing sprouts as safe? how can we ensure safety?

[desmelbourne]

I love it! I asked my dad to make me some redneck sprout screens about two weeks ago and he did the same thing, used the screen from a broken door! lol

[badboyorganics]

@minikylie That is just thinking outside the box. Glad it worked. Thanks for watching and commenting.

its been a year since you did the video, so you probably have learned or tried to water the seeds, with a nutrient rich solution by now..and not poured the solution down the drain, by reused it..just an fyi..

[badboyorganics]

@KingRyltar straight up filtered water, no added chemicals.

Great video. What kind of screening are you using and where did you get it from? Thank you. :)

do you keep them in the fridge after harvesting and what do you keep them in? I eat them on sandwiches & in wraps but I'd need mine to keep for about a week. I haven't done my own yet, been buying them from the store.

[badboyorganics]

@greenpilgrim50 I actually keep them in the fridge in a plastic baggy and they last for around 5 days on avg. depending on the amount of moisture on them.

Hope this helps and thanks for watching and commenting.

thanks for your great video badboy :)

[utube76789]

Thanks for the video. What is your advise/thoughts on sun light. Is passive sun light ok though out the whole process ? Is there any benefit in keeping them in the dark before they start to green on day 4 or 5? Thanks again

[lizsy775]

where do you buy your jars and lids?

[badboyorganics]

@lizsy775 You can find them at any grocery store, well at least that is the case around Indianapolis.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

I just love sprouts. Sprouts are natures superfood and just so simple to grow.

My tip us to grow a wide variety of sprouts including Mung Bean, Chickpea, Cress the works.

Thanks for the video.

I added it to my Sprouting Mung Beans website!

Marty

[badboyorganics]

@martysgarden Excellent and thanks for adding it to your site.

Question: Do you grow Mung Bean, Chickpea's the same as alfalfa seeds?

[threeoms]

thank you so much for doing this video! I can't wait to try it. I have been sprouting lentils and mung beans. I actually made hummas from these sprouts with home made Tahini- I feel the life force as I eat them and delicious too!

[aliceisms]

Whoa. Thank you for your visual explanation. That was so much easier to understand than that wordy ehow stuff.

[badboyorganics]

@aliceisms That is the power of video as compared with a text based article.

Thanks for watching and commenting.
