Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I soak the seeds over night and then place them in on the medium in the trays. Then cover with just a touch more of soil. You do not want to make these too full, because the seeds push up the soil and will spill it all over your kitchen. ew Re: LA LA LA LA - Melody Yes. I use all kinds of good plastic trays. When I go to a restaurant that serves salad in little plastic dishes, I always ask if they have a lid for it. I never cover the containers. i use the lids as saucers. Keep a spray bottle of water nearby and give the top of the soil a mist now and then to keep it from drying out and you're good to go. ew - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 How big are they when you take them out and put them in the garden? Do you use ground or do you put in containers outside?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Carolyn, I do not plant them in the garden. When they get about three inches, I take kitchen shears and cut them off at the soil line and eat them. ew Re: LA LA LA LA - Melody Yes. I use all kinds of good plastic trays.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Why not just let them grow as sprouts until they are 3 " in the sprouter? Main thing I've sprouted is alfalfa and someitmes mung beans and they did grow a bit long. Do they grow better in the mixture? Carolyn Wilkerson  ________________________________ To: sproutpeople Sent: Monday, March 5, 2012 7:48 PM Subject: Re: Sprouting in trays  Carolyn, I do not plant them in the garden.
