Re: Intro & question about *Biosta* sprouter

[Guest guest]

I just got a Bioset in December. The first crop was alfalfa which was

delicious. Next, I did the alfalfa, China Rose radish, and broccoli. I was

disappointed in the tast of the broccoli, it is so mild. The radish is like

a good hot radish. Yum.

I just change the water twice a day, no problem. I love it.

Hi ALL! and Happy New Years!

I am new to sprouting and to this group. Me- I'm a stay at home mom of 2 boys

(Logan, almost 5,

and 16 months). I am really interested in nutrition/health and natural

living and reside in Plano Texas.

My oldest son Logan has been diagnosed with a.d.h.d. which we control thru diet

(no dairy, no gluten, no artificial additives)

in his food. He has been on this diet for about 3 months now, and we are seeing

a lot of improvements.

In fact, over the holidays, many friends/family commented on his improved

behavior. In my quest to help him, i became interested (ok, obsessessed) about

nutrition and learning,

and stumbled upon sprouting...which i still don't know that much about...but

learning...and happy to find your group!

I just received my new *biosta* sprouter in the mail a few days ago, and am

ready to purchase

some seeds from the web-site. Does anyone own or have experience

with the biosta?

I see that on the web-site they have the bio-set, which looks

similar, but slightly different:

" Bio-Set isn't a real tray sprouter, like its very close relation Biosta* it is

a siphon sprouter which works on the principle of retained high humidity. "

And that it is not highly recommended....should i stick with bigger seeds and

avoid alfalfa as well?

Can i grow soil-less wheatgrass and greens in this model? I plan on buying the

sample packets to experiment with,

but would love any advice anyone has for me.

Thanks in Advance,

peace,

from Texas

Hi and welcome to the group. I have a bioset and don't like it. It works

fine for bigger seeds but you will have trouble with the smaller ones

clogging up the siphons. Congratulations on being a stay at home mom. Those

seem to be rare these days. My wife stays at home with our six kids and

works harder than I do. Good luck with your sprouting.

Hi!!

I use a " Sprout Garden " tray sprouter which I got from

a Whole Foods store. I like it alot. It's very

durable and grows alot of sprouts. I love it best

cause I can throw it in the dishwasher and it's just

fine!! The directions said you could grow wheatgrass

in it with soil though. Oh, and it works great for

all size seeds.

Have a great day!!

I'm starting to really like the Kitchen Crop Sprouter which is like the

Bio-Set. I was amazed at how well my alfalfa did. I am thinking about order a

Bio-Set from the SproutPeople for a friend to get her started.

I have one of those also which I like a lot better and use a lot more than

the bioset. I bought mine from a gardening catalog.

Hi from Texas,

I have used a bioset sprouter for many years. While I'm not a gung ho sprouter

and stick to the basic alfalfa, broccoli etc type seeds. I do try to have a

fresh batch going all the time. As i have only used the bioset I can't compare

different types of sprouters. I have found that if you tilt and drain the unit

after the water that is left after it has siphoned off You should have good

results. I have had excelent results with it.

Take care and good luck, and happy new year,

Rick from PR

Where did you get your biosta sprouter. I looked on but did not

see it. Maybe I missed it. I looked in the kit section.

Hi ! Thanks for the kind words about being a stay at home mom;

sometimes people talk down to me thinking i don't *do* anything.....besides

taking care of the home i do have alot of hobbies. Though i long for a part

time job

at Whole Foods to be around like minded people and to get a discount on all

that organic food i spend all our money on. Wow! Six kids! she gets NO rest,

laugh out loud!

I just ordered a sample package from the sprout people and i'll update

everyone on

how my sprouts turn out when i start! thanks for the advice, Chris

Thanks Everyone that replied to my Intro & Question. The tips are much

appreciated!

Biosta by trial and error.

I am pysched to start sprouting!

Didn't get it at Sproutpeople; although it looks/works similar to the

bio-set offered at .
