Guest guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 : Go to a store that sells insulated coolers. They have nice size ones with zippers. Pack it with cold keepers, put in your containers that are growing the sprouts, zip the zipper. It will be fine for 12 hours. Take out, rinse and drain, put the whole thing back in. That's great for when the weather is over 80. Works for me. Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Do you have any bare wall space? If you do, hang some shelves and you can put your sprouts on the wall!!! If I didn't have my book cases that's exactly what I would do. Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Well, the same way I grow peppers, figs, eggplant, carrots, and the occasional banana tree in my living room, silly! Just kidding. I do hydroponics and aeroponice-anything can be grown indoors if you control the light and enviroment. I started out with a few aerogardens and took it from there...now my living room looks like a plant nursery most winters, but there is something very fun about being able to pluck dinner from your TV stand!

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 OMG, I would SO like to have you as a neighbor. I just brought a bag of sprouts across the street to my friend Jackie. I also brought my new Sprout Sign. You should have seen her face. It lit up like a Christmas Tree. And my morning breakfast crew are LOVING THEIR SPROUTS. I could do this forever. lol Melody > > Well, the same way I grow peppers, figs, eggplant, carrots, and the occasional banana tree in my living room, silly! Just kidding.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 LOL, I do use a compact variety (several of them) and I have them growing upside down, with the container suspended from the ceiling, so no vines to trip over. I have a bin that stays under it to catch dirt, and occasionally will here a THUD in the middle of the night when one of the squash fall in to the bin-has startled us awake a time or two, lol > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Do you have any bare wall space?

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 You and I would be dangerous as neighbors, Melody! They would boot us out of town. TWO crazy sprouting ladies is more than most can handle! Everyone in town thinks I am the resident hippie nut....but who do you think they call when they need garden advice, lol. > > > > Well, the same way I grow peppers, figs, eggplant, carrots, and the occasional banana tree in my living room, silly!

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I found a really cool long, narrow Japanese style coffee table at a thrift shop year ago-I have it along a wall in my house and it is a PERFECT spot for aerogardens, sprouts, etc. If you have a space for one, just look for a coffee table that is long and narrow-makes it much easier to reach things. Mine stands probably 14 inches off the ground, and being as slim as it is, fits up against the wall nicely. > > > > The aerogarden sells a 3 tier shelf wall for the aerogarden. Could do the same with building shelves whether for AeroGarden or for sprouts. It would have taken less room than I have taken but I am short so can't reach the top anyway.  Could even put a see through shelf in the opening and could see the sprouts from both sides. > > > > > > Carolyn Wilkerson > > > > > >  > > > > > > ________________________________ > > From: Melody <eliz7212@> > > To: mailto:sproutpeople%40yahoogroups.com > > Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 4:30 PM > > Subject: Re: dry sprouts > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > Do you have any bare wall space?

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 And this morning the waitress walks in and announces " I brought the bag of sprouts that Melody gave me yesterday, I wasn't supposed to come in today but the other waitress couldn't make it, SO I STILL GET TO HAVE MY SPROUTS " Everybody burst out laughing. I had brought 3 little bags of sprouts for other breakfasters. I then announced " You guys really need to LEARN HOW TO DO SPROUTING. Learn by using a mason jar, you know how to do this'. They are beginning to listen. This is so fun Melody > > > > > > Well, the same way I grow peppers, figs, eggplant, carrots, and the occasional banana tree in my living room, silly! Just kidding.
