When you grow Grass, Greens or Micro-Greens, you plant on top of something. That something is a medium. Can you use the medium again after harvesting a crop? This Short Bit video answers that question.

  • I love your baby! I love doggies

  • Microbial contamination! That's got to be why my wheat grass failed the other day, and because I left it outside in the sun. Turns out they like my closet better, the last two batches seem to be doing fine.

  • Since compost is used in gardens, aren't you sending unwanted microbes from growth medium to compost to garden if you compost it?

  • But you seemed to give part of a useful answer: Stick in the oven for a couple of hours at 400 degrees, and the problems of contamination are over.

  • beautiful dog....great video!

  • Hi Debbie *U*

    I know you from Renegade Health Show. All the greats run in the same circles! :O)

    Thanks for the confirmation. After my crop of sunflower greens, I had white fuzzy stuff coming out of the medium. Even new medium had same fuzzies with wheat grass. This bag of medium has been open in the shed for a while, so I WILL bake it for a while before my next planting. Does baked medium have the same aroma as barley soup? YUM.

    Chester looks like our dog, so Jazzy says HI Chester
