I'd had rather used a glass jar but I didn't have one the size I wanted. Just make certain the holes are small enough for what you're sprouting and you do not overfill as I did and I had a heck of a time prying out the sprouts. Here are two good links: Growing Sprouts http://www.i4at.org/lib2/sprouts.htm For lots of sprouts, a self watering sprout cabinet http://www.i4at.org/lib2/sprouter.htm Lots of excellent links at Institute for Appropriate Technology's Library http://www.i4at.org/library.html Enjoy!! -- Peace!! - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Herbs, Oils & More: http://www.greenladysgarden.com Wholesale Web Hosting: http://www.accessiblehosting.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
