A Growing for sprouting question

[Guest guest]

This reminds me to ask something I've been thinking about. How do you care for

sprouts during a drought? I've been using an awful lot of water rinsing my

sprouts. I'm sure that will slow down after the novelty wears off, but still, it

seems like an awful lot of water.

I thought the rainwater solution sounded good (though I don't collect

any--that's next on my list. So is a filter...). I don't suppose reusing the

drain water is good, because one of the reasons for rinsing is to get rid of

stuff (what exactly I don't know).

So what will you all do when water is in short supply?

Good morning. Im commenting on using rainwater for your sprouting.

Although I use my rainwater for watering gardens, animals etc. Im not

sure that rainwater collected and in a barrel would be great to use for

Sprouting. I do not know how your system is set up, what your roofing

material is, what your gutters look like inside. Im not into gutter

cleaning regularly. If you had a metal roof I would probably consider

it the cleanest for upkeep, but any size barrel would attract insects

especially mosquitos. Food for thought.
