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.
