my wheatgrass growing in 10 x 20 tray and no mold!

[dmb2002man]

Hey everyone,

Here is my attempt to grow organic red winter wheat berries and it worked out very well. I purchased my seeds from a local health food store for .99 cents pound. I am using organic dirt in a 10 x 20 try that i cut holes in and its dripping in to a solid tray below so water will release. I have 2 computer fans wired together to a plug so mold will not show up and it hasn't. This is day 7th of my growing from sprouting to this stage. I purchased my manual juicer from amazon for $49 with free shipping after reading the reviews. Im going to build me a custom pvc stand in the next few weeks and grow 4 trays at once. Look for more pictures soon.

Your grass looks wonderful! I never thought about using computer fans for it. You have the same juicer we do. It works wonderful on fruits as well.

hey thanks for letting me know. Im so pumped of trying this in the juicer. I own a vitamix blender so the only reason i bought the juicer was for wheatgrass as i drink a liter of greens everyday. The computer fans worked well in my hydroponic system to so figured i would try them on this and its working very well and hardly cost me anything to run these. No more buying wheatgrass shots at wholefoods for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is my last picture as I'm going to cut it today. I also posted a few more pictures in the above link on the trays. I did my final watering this morning. Hope you enjoy everyone.

Hey, you guys! Can you tell me what kind of wheatgrass juicer you use?? What is the brand? Can you use an ordinary juicer or does it have to be a special juicer for wheatgrass? I am in Ukraine, about to go to Hungary, which is more civilized. if you can tell me the brand of juicer you use, or brands of wheatgrass juicers that work well, I can then search in Hungary for one that runs on 220 volts.I have a medical emergency - a lump - and so I really need to drink wheat grass every day!

Hope to hear from you soon. (I leave for Hungary the day after tomorrow!) Thanks for your help!!!

I can't help with wheat grass juicers and I am not a doctor; I have read that broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, beetroot, garlic, ginger, turmeric, tomatoes, carrots, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, pineapple, apples, grapefruit, and lemons may possess anti-cancer phytochemicals. Wheat grass might be good too, but the others are allot easier to readily find and consume for a broader spectrum of nutrients and phytochemicals. It probably helps to focus on making bitter juices so as not to over use sweet ingredients, as cancer feeds on excess glucose. So things like the anti-cancer compound of bromelain found in pineapple might be better taken as a supplement to avoid the sugars of a whole pineapple or for apples (preferably organic) focusing more on the outer skin parts that contain the anti-cancer compounds rather then loading up on the sugary flesh interior. You should see a real doctor to know what your dealing with.

I think the best wheatgrass juicer actually is the manual one, for example http://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Stainl...+juicer+manual Of course you can go with Greenstar or Omega but if for wheatgrass only manual works just fine.

I don't juice it every day but I would like too. I don't juice the regrowth. I give it to my hens. They like it so much. I'm going to make a second hen run and seed the existing run with wheat. Then when it's grown good and strong I'll let the hens back and seed the second run. I need to buy a big sack of wheat grain!

and, bear in mind I at least don't have a fridge even if you lot do.

I'm just so fed up with hearing that everything is so crucial with regard timing. Just eat the blasted stuff stuff or don't. Don't switch between saying things are best the soonest they are cut and that leaving them sit is bad and then say something else should sit cut whilst getting progressively less live. It doesn't make sense.

I totally agree with you about this. My grass may not be perfect but i am still getting loads of nutrition from it compared to not juicing it at all.

totally agree and maybe we would get too much nutrition if we always ate everything at the highest level nutrient values.
