Growing Tips |

Mold |
Wheatgrass
is very prone to mold! To control the mold
here are a few steps you can take:
1. Don't soak your seed longer than 8 hours and plant right after you finish soaking, this will help stop the mold from developing. 2. Water with Real (Mineral) Salt, or elemite when the wheatgrass is very young. 1 Tablespoon per gallon. 3. Keep the growing temperature somewhat cool (70 degrees) and also dry. 4. If you still
have mold, you can power rinse the mold off before
you juice. |

Ideal Weather |
If it is
too cold outside (50 degrees and below) where you
are growing your grass, the wheatgrass will grow
very slowly. If you let it get below 32
degrees, it will freeze. Anything above about
75-80 degrees and your wheatgrass will not thrive.
Under the hot conditions you will experience more
mold, and the roots will go sour and sometimes cause
the grass to wilt. The ideal conditions for
wheatgrass and barleygrass are 1)
indirect sunlight, and 2)
moderate weather (70 degrees) |

Growing Space |
Space often can become a problem
once you start growing lots of wheatgrass and sprouts. Very inexpensive
racks can be purchased from a local hardware store, or you can make a
rack with PVC pipes. This seems to be a better solution for those
who have their wheatgrass scattered all over their kitchen. Another solution
is a new Greenhouse we have found it is located on our web site at: http://www.wheatgrasskits.com/greenhouses.htm
Currently it is available in the 4-tier (holds 8 flats of wheatgrass)
and 2-tier models (holds 4 flats of wheatgrass). The greenhouse has a
zip up thick plastic cover, which provides a unique greenhouse environment
for your wheatgrass, and other plants. |

Old Grass |
If you
don’t use the grass fast enough, your wheatgrass
will get old, so here is a good solution! Whether
you buy or grow your own flat of wheatgrass, if you
don’t use the grass fast enough it begins to turn
yellow and wilt (because it has used all the
minerals from the soil.) Right as it begins to
tinge yellow, cut all the rest of the grass off of
the flat and put it in a plastic bag in your
refrigerator. The grass will last for about one week
after it is cut. |
