How hard is it to grow wheatgrass?
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. =will= |

They love eating it and it's good for them. We've used wheat seeds bought at the Natural Gardener, but I've also used "cooking" winter wheat bought at CM. Use small pots and cover them with plastic wrap after planting until they sprout. It helps keep the moisture in and the birds out. -- Victor M. Martinez http://www.che.utexas.edu/~martiv |

How hard is it to grow wheatgrass?
I use wheatgrass seeds to feed my parrot. I don't sprout them as much as I
"germinate" them and she then eats them like that. I buy the organic seeds at Whole Food's Market. If you go to the one on Lamar and Sixth, they are to the far right as soon as you walk in by the produce section. They also have other seeds on that rack. My bird also loves radish "sprouts." They are very easy to grow indoors on a sunny window. On Fri, 14 Feb 2003 11:25:44 -0600 (CST), (will) wrote: Hello.

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. http://www.wheatgrasskits.com/ Regards, Robert "will" wrote in message ... Hello.

What is it, about $3/ounce of juice? -sw |
