Grow your own wheatgrass

Step 4 Step 4: planting

a)water growth tray so soil is quite moist

b)drain water from the container soaking seeds

c)spread seeds evenly over the surface of growth tray so you have a single layer of seeds, make sure they are not bunched up -can be tricky since the seeds stick together when wet. Press down to ensure seeds make contact with soil and sprinkle some loose soil on top as well.

d)place in a bright spot near a window or outside, but not in direct sunlight. (Artificial light can be used as well).

e) (optional)To keep the soil moist during the early stages of growth you can use the clear plastic container like a greenhouse. Remove any labels and make sure its clean enough to let light through. You may need to cut and tape several together, as I have in order to accommodate the size of the growing tray. A clear plastic bag can be used as well. Poke holes in it to provide airflow and place over growing tray. It is also useful in keeping cats out because they will love to have some wheatgrass too.

tar & nicoteen helps the grass grow stronger....it is not required, but it helps, so if you know someone who smokes, have them blow some smoke into the tray.

I remember this from a college science project.

another thing.

when I first started growing mine, I started it in a tererrium. that way, I never had to worry about watering it & the temperature stayed balanced till the grass out grew the tererrium. I'm sorry if my spelling is not that great.
