How To Grow Sprouting Seeds
It couldn't be easier to grow sprouting seeds yourself from the comfort of your own home!
The ideal location for your seeds to grow is in the kitchen - a sunny windowsill would be perfect, as long as the seeds don't get too warm.
To grow sprouting seeds you will obviously need to choose some seeds to grow (Mung beans or Alfalfa seeds would be a good introductory variety to start with) and you will also need a suitable growing container. You can buy the seed-tray variety or a jam jar type container, both of these will do the job fine and are very cheap to get hold of. Alternatively you could use an old container from around your house - it is possible to use most items but from experience you will realise what works best. The only other requirement is water - sprouting seeds will need watering once or twice per day depending on the variety of seed that you are growing.
To begin with, most types of sprouting seeds need to be soaked for 24 hours to activate the seed. Place around a tablespoon of seeds in a jam jar and place a muslin type material over the top followed by an elastic band to hold it in place. This is to allow the seeds to be able to breathe.
Drain the seeds off using a sieve or other item and try to rinse them thoroughly.
Lay the seeds out into your container, remember to try and spread them evenly so that they all have a good chance of germinating.
Water the containers as per the sprouting seed packet instructions, and then harvest the seeds using a sharp knife or pair of scissors when they are ready.
