Re: Sprout Garden 3 Tray Family Sprouting Kit vs Handy Pantry Sprout Garden

[Guest guest]

I just bought the handy pantry 3 sprout trays -(sprout garden) both

products are the same. They stack nicely - the first go around I only put a

small amount of brocolli seeds which didnt produce much. I am new to

sprouting. does anyone have experience using the trays with the covers

from sprout master? Which is better?? you can see them at amazon...

Sprout Garden 3 Tray Family Sprouting Kit vs

Handy Pantry Sprout Garden

Does anyone know the difference between the Sprout Garden 3 Tray Family

Sprouting Kit and the Handy Pantry Sprout Garden? I have a gift card from

Amazon and can't decided between the two. I have been sprouting off and on

for about 3 years now using mason jars and sprout bags but would like to

clear up some counter space with a garden tray idea.

Thanks!

I think mine is a 4 tray unit.  It doesn't have as much drainage.  I sometimes

prop it on an edge to get it to drain out better.  I tried to rinse them 2

times a day, every 12 hours, but that didn't work.  I tried a batch with

rinsing them every evening before bed and that worked well.  I have only done

alfalfa sprouts and now 4 seed salad greens (radish, broccoli, alfalfa, clover)

and it is quite tasty and you can really identify the radish.  I am watching

them and want to be sure they are okay.  I opened them up a bit to the sun to

turn green but then I put an empty tray on top and don't use the cover as I want

the air circulation.  There are others who have a lot more experience than I

do.  There are also lots of videos on Youtube with sprouting.  Check it out as

photos help.  Good luck with your sprouting.

I think the Handy Pantry is what I got and it doesn't have that little plug or

extra drain in the middle but it just has spaces around the outer edge in order

to drain.  I don't know about the Sprout Garden.  I think mine is a Vitorio or

something like like.  It doesn't work as well as the green one I had years ago

but it had that extra little plug in there to drain more. 

 

Wait a bit until you check up on them though.  It will depend on what you want

to plant too.  Talk to Melodie or Ed.  There are some others too who do a lot

of sprouting and know more.  Evidently plain jars with wire lid inserts sounds

like they work really well too.
