Default How hard is it to grow wheatgrass?

Will,

Wheatgrass is very easy to grow. I put about 1" of organic dirt in a seed
tray. Soak 1 cup of wheatgrass seed overnight in clean pure water. Next day,
spread out the cup of wheatgrass seed on top of the dirt. Water the seeds
very well. You then cover the seeds with newspaper. Water the seeds every
day by wetting the newspaper with a fine spray. The seeds will sprot in
about two to three days. As the plants start to grow, they push the
newspaper up. Remove the newspaper and place by a window. The grass will
green up the first day and be about 8 to 10 inches tall in a week. Do not
over water, or black fungus will attack the wheat.

You can buy wheatgrass seed from several sources over the Internet. Just
search for wheatgrass at www.google.com. There is even wheatgrass kits and a
wheatgrass newletter from this web address.

Hello.
At petco and pet places like that, they have small little containers
with wheatgrass growing in them.

I was wondering whether or not it's hard to grow wheatgrass, if I should
put the pot ouside or leave it in the house, and whether or not you guys
know of any place where I could pick up seeds for wheatgrass.

It's great stuff, and my lizards love it. It has more nutrients then any
other plant or vegtable that I could feed them

Ok. Thanks for the help.
