What do you use?


I grow it in shallow pearlite in a planting tray. The pearlite should
be barely moist and the wheatberries should be soaked overnight before
spreading them on top of the pearlite. I usually put a little kelp
meal in the pearlite. A sunny window works for light. You will need
several trays going if you want much juice.
I use a Solostar juicer. I am tempted by wheatgrass only juicers as
only a little increase in efficiency would be worth it as the whole
process is pretty tedious. My Solostar will juice other things though
while the dedicated wheatgrass juicers wont.
