John.... I wonder if it would be a good idea to add a small amount of rock dust to the organic soil used for sprouting. They say, wheat grass grown in fields is more nutritious then wheatgrass grown in trays. I would guess that is because the soil MIGHT have more nutrients in it, like minerals and such. Your thoughts?

[growingyourgreens]

YES! Shawn doesnt use rock dust (or ocean grown minerals) there YET. Trust me, I had a good discussion about that with him, and I believe he is commited to trying it. When I grow wheatgrass, I use 1/2 organic compost and 1/2 rock dust as the "organic soil" mix. You can also use "ocean grown" minerals to water them, which will add minerals from the sea. (I will have an upcoming episode about ocean grown)

Hmm...I might do this, but I don't have a juicer...

[growingyourgreens]

you dont need a juicer. Your TEETH are natures best juicer! chew the wheatgrass until there is no liquid left and then spit out the fiber.. IF your hardcore, you can swallow the fiber too.. its good roughage.. If you have a blender you can blend a little wheatgrass with alot of water, and then strain out the fiber. Two (low) cost methods to get the benefits of wheatgrass without a blender.

Just remember...Organic does not mean free of GMO contamination!

I like how they aren't using automated sprinklers. Guessing with the 6 to 8 days, seed to feed, they are just watering by hand to keep down the electric bill? ((ah growing in soil, not in just water with nutrients...) Searching for ways to prepare and consume wheatgrass, without juicing it. I am in a country/area of poor people, a juicer would be outside of their means. suggestions?

Informative, . . but you need at least 1 hot chick to sell this idea better. Always remember the secret word for success. . . TITTIES ! ! ! ! !

so do i keep watering until the day i harvest?

[mirpaterska]

to make the water acid and kill all bacteria after soaking the seeds, could I use a splash of vinager? would that work?

and another question, after I´m done sprouting, do I compost the soil?

thank you for putting your videos up! I´m starting juicing wheatgrass :)

I use a blender and recycle the pulp. It works fantastically. Don't buy any special equipment! And yes, I often add rock dust (lime) to my sprout trays.
