Grow Your Own Wheat Grass

Posted by: DeputyHeadmistress on Friday, February 17th, 2012

What you need:

potting soil or compost

A container (it doesn't have to be deep. Cake pans work)

wheatberries (try your natural foods store)

water

sunshine

 

Fill the container with soil.  Sprinkle wheatberries evenly over the surface.  Sprinkle a little more dirt over the top. Spray gently with water.  Keep the soil moist but not drenched.  In a couple of days you should have some green sprouts. In a week, it will probably be ready for a trim.

I like these shallow pots of wheatgrass just as a spot of welcome green spring color in the last days of winter.  But some people use wheatgrass for green smoothies.
