Simply Sprouts!

Hey Everyone,

One of our past gardeners has me hooked on growing sprouts.  The quality and freshness they possess is absolutely phenomenal.  Most often, the method of choice, for the simple ease of dishwasher cleanup, is a standard mason jar with a sprout screen.  This method in its simplest form does work extremely well. The only challenge is continuously having enough sprouts on hand.

Most economical way to sprout!

In seeking out some pH neutral pads without salt build-up for the trial of a hydroponic application, this site popped up. Increasing sprout production while continually finding new uses for things already on hand seems rather interesting to try.  The man doing the video, Matt Geschke, does an excellent job at giving simple and thorough instructions.

For those who enjoy sprouting, the link below has clear instructions for each type of sprout available as well as a wealth of supplies and recipes.  It is such a pleasant surprise to have something so fresh and economical on hand in the dead of winter.
