Hi all,
We would like to try sprouting some seeds but are not sure what sort
of container would be best. Can you use an ordinary large glass jar? I
remember you used to be able to get plastic bags for it, but I can't
seem to find them anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks Richard & Wendy

What seeds have you in mind? They all differ.

Ah! Not my subject, but I know that you will get advice from some of the
others in this group.

I do just fine with a wide-mouth quart jar: soak the seeds overnight, then
hold the lid against it and drain and rinse. Repeat a couple of times a
day until the sprouts are the size you wish. I've done fenugreek, but
mostly mung beans.

I use a large 2lb jam jar or similar, and put a steiilised cloth over
the top with a rubber band. Run water in throught he cloth and it
drains off easily. Works for me!
