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

I use a cheap manual juicer from amazon and it works fine. I payed around $50. I actually might be starting to supply trays to a local a nutrition shop.

Sounds like your ramping up. Did you make a stand for your light and tray setup? Any pics?

The wheatgrass juicer we purchased is http://www.amazon.com/Lexen-Products...dp/B0002LY8PA/. We have not juiced wheatgrass with it yet (going to start soon, it's too cold in our mobile home right now as we only really heat the bedroom where we spend all our time). It does juice lots of other things such as pineapple, carrots, apples, oranges and lemons. I would imagine it will do well on most soft fruits like berries as well. I believe there are a few others here that also use this juicer.

As you may already be aware, for a long time, Michael Bergonzi (Hippocrates) recommended using exactly the juicer you've chosen, for the purposes of juicing wheatgrass:

It's nice to know we made a good choice. I'm really looking forward to trying the different grasses to see which we like. Probably going to wait at least another month here to get started.

same juicer that i have as well. I only use mine for wheatgrass and it works okay. I have tried cut up carrots and it does work.

Just joined this thread, very informative.

Arky you explained it so well about the jointed and better to juice before it gets to that stage. I would have thought that it would be better tomcut and juice straight away but good news for me as it will allow me to store my grass in the fridge.

Mystic love the idea of feeding the cut grass to the chooks I had a residual memory that was a good idea and you confirmed it.
My neighbours have chickens, I will offer it to them.

I am growing my wheatgrass in hanging baskets down the side of my raw cafe, it's functional as well as extremely decorative.

My problem with my wheat grass is the rats especially when the young berries are beginning to shoot.
Mumcafe is on the river and is not enclosed.

I think your grass looks great dmb!



I so agree! I don't want to have to minutely control everything I eat like that. It's 100 times better than I used to eat. If I had to microcontrol everything it would drive me nuts and this is supposed to be more about freedom from all the mental issues that go along with food for me. I'm sure some times my sprouts are beyond what they should be. My mung sprouts grew root hairs when they were very short in fact. I ate them anyhow. It's still better than a boiled potato! I also eat all the seeds, I never pull them off the sprouts. However I am still looking forward to getting trays to grow microgreens, including a bunch of dried sweet corn I bought that sprouts but so slowly it's not worth the time (and the piece of corn stays too hard to eat!).
