Which of these mediums do you advise?

[Guest guest]

Just in case I don't (or can't) get the burlap or the coir, and I need to get

this, there are too many choices. I have no idea which one I should get for my

first time.

Helpful comments are appreciated.

Thanks much

Melody, for your first time, I suggest trying simple organic soil as shown in my

video-its cheap and easy...I bet a neighbor has a couple of spoonfuls of soil in

their backyard you can use-you don't need much and its really not messy. Half a

cup of soil will yeild you a good pie plate of sunnies to try it out. Just make

sure the soil hasn't been sprayed with pesticides or yard spray. You can also

buy small bags of organic soil at any garden center for a couple of bucks, but

if you have to go to a garden center anyway, try the coir liners-walmart even

carries them now.

Hi all.

I don't live near any nurseries, or Walmarts, or any place that sells organic

soil. My neighbors (well, I don't know if their soil is organic or not and even

if they say it's organic, how do I know. I'm not taking any chances. So I either

go to the fabric store and see if they have burlap, or I go online and go to

sproutpeople.com.

So if I DO go to sproutpeople.com what do I buy?

See, how I need you?? lol

. Just went to Amazon. They had lots of coir this and coir coco that and I

have no idea what these things are. They had mats and there was 2 reviews on the

cocomoss thing. One guy liked it and the other guy said it came with mold.

Since I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm not doing that. I'll probably go

to Sproutpeople and buy the baby blanket or some such thing. I have to find

which one I need. I've asked EW and he'll let me know. That way I'll be

experimenting. I will probably be growing sunflower sprouts (after I start I

mean) because they look absolutely wonderful and I can see me growing these

lovely things.

You know, living in Brooklyn is very nice, with nice folks and I get along with

people but if I ever won the lottery (which I don't play), I would move to

Pennsylvania, have an organic backyard with a special sprout room with

hydroponics all over the kazoo. And we'd all live next door to each other

because I'd be a millionaire and we'd live next door and we'd grow everything.

Can you imagine? No more going to the store. Just going in the backyard and

picking the veggies.

Boy, when I think of when I was 5 years old and I see old photos of me with my

mom and her dad and her 10 brothers and sisters and they lived on a farm and

they had chickens etc, and I am in these photos and I have absolutely no memory

of this.

Now we go into a supermarket and see chickens wrapped in plastic.

Good God!!

lol

Mel,

You would probably use 1 1/2 to 2 cups of soil with each batch. So 5 pounds of

soil will do between 10 and 13 batches. So if you did a batch a week, it would

last about 3 months.

No bugs. Just pure good stuff

Continuing the formula:

So based on $3.95 for 5#. That's 30 to 35 cents a batch plus shipping and

handling fees.

Re: Which of these mediums do you advise?

Oh, this sounds interesting.

I do have a question. How long would a 5 lb bag last me. I have 2 big pie

plates and pressing one on the other, on the bottom pie plate I have room for a

LOT of seeds. So it's a big pie plate.

And (this is important). Could there possibly be any bugs in this organic soil?

Thanks much (good website by the way)

Once you get all the supplies, check out this video on sprouting the little

sunnies. It's worked very well for me.

Hey Melody!

What do you think of my beautiful sunnies now?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35458235/100_2245.JPG Aren't they gorgeous? They are so

crisp and sweet. And they have such good posture, too! I grew these on Coco

Garden CCF650 650-Gram Compressed Coco Fiber Growing Medium that I got from

Amazon. Do a search for this exactly as I have it here, and you will see what it

is. It is lovely, and as you can see, it grows great sunnies!(The darn underline

won't quit.

I love the music in 's video, too!

Okay, I got most of my questions answered.

One final questions. Let's say I start my first batch and in about 7 days I

start cutting my first sprouts. I cut from the bottom and they continue to grow

right? How many cuttings from that original batch?

Thanks very much

NOPE! They don't continue to grow. Once you've cut them, they have given their

life for you. Only pea shoots will continue to grow when cut.

And you can probably start your first cutting in 5 days.

Melody, I will decree that Fantabulous is indeed a word, even if it's in

Well, Melody took a LONG walk today. I had to go to the Post Office which is a

good 10 blocks from me. I went even farther, and I went into every florist I

saw and asked the same question. Do you carry Organic Soil or a growing medium

like Coir (they all knew what I meant) and THEY ALL said the same thing " Oh you

have to go to the Nursery on 84th and New Utrecht. That is SOME WALK. I then

(on the way home) hit every hardware store. No one sold anything I required.

So I shall soon take a walk to the nursey on 84th and New Utrecht (I know you

don't know where this is but thankfully I DO!!! lol

I shall then regale you with a video of what I shall purchase.

But, for today, I have been busy in my kitchen getting it all ready for when I'm

sprouting my sunnies. I changed everything around and now it's all set. I was

going to do this in March or April but I got industrious today. I like my ducks

all in a row.
