Frequently Asked Questions

Can you grow other grains in this sprouter?

Wheatgrass Information from Grow Wheatgrass
Yes, you can grow barley, oats, buckwheat and sunflower seeds in the same way. Good barley and oat seed is hard to find. It is stated in the reference books that there is more difference in nutrient composition between two fields of wheat than in wheat and barley. Kamut is a waste of money. It's a bigger seed and takes up too much room. After testing I recommend Buckwheat Lettuce and Sunflower greens. Both taste delicious, are easy to grow and are full of nutients.

What are whole grains?

FAQs
A whole grain is the entire edible part of any grain: wheat, corn, oats and rice, among others. It includes all three parts of the grain kernel: the bran, germ and endosperm. The bran is the fibre-rich outer shell, the endosperm is the middle layer and the germ is the nutrient-packed inner layer.

I hear that whole grains are essential to health. Should I be eating whole grains?

Candida FAQ for Candida Albicans Cure
The simple answer is no - you should not eat any whole grain wheat flour while on the Candida Diet. You can live a long healthy life without eating a single grain as they are not needed by the human body. Most recipes are designed around wheat flours so it may be difficult to convert them to the non-grain alternatives without doing some experimentation. One great source of recipes for the Candida Diet is the Yeast Connection Cookbook by William G Crook.

Is the Sprouter Easy to Keep Clean?

FAQs-2 - More Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Once again my Sprouter is so much better than the factory ones with their built-in water compartments where slime builds up. With my Sprouter, you soak the mist nozzles in liquid cleaner once a month ? it's quick to unscrew them. I wipe out the growing container occasionally, and pour boiling hot water down the drain tube (which is easy to replace for 75c). I don't use chlorine because it makes the fish go blind.

Can the Sprouter Stay Out-doors?

FAQs-2 - More Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Not in the northern hemisphere, except possibly in the south-west USA. Baby greens and sprouts thrive best in the 70's F ? temperatures should not go below 65° or above 85° F (18° to 29° C). You can always use an outdoor faucet connection ? lead the hose through an open window to your Sprouter inside, as I do.

Is it o.k. to feed grains?

BARF for Beginners - Most Frequently Asked Questions
Grains are not a natural food for dogs. It is not something they would eat in the wild. Those grains they would have access to would be in small quantities eaten from the stomachs of prey animals who had (in the right season) eaten some grasses that had seeded. These grains would also not look like our modern grains - more like wild rice (check it out at the supermarket and compare to domestic types). Grains are also full of carbohydrates which can be easily converted to sugars.

Where can fibroids grow?

Gynecare
Health care providers put fibroids into three groups based on where they grow, such as just underneath the lining of the uterus, in between the muscles of the uterus, or on the outside of the uterus. Most fibroids grow within the wall of the uterus. Some fibroids grow on stalks (called peduncles) that grow out from the surface of the uterus, or into the cavity of the uterus.

Will My Hair Ever Grow Back?

Alopecia Totalis - FAQ concerning Hair Loss
There is every chance that your hair will regrow, but it may also fall out again. No one can predict when it might regrow or fall out. The course of the disease varies from person to person. Some people lose just a few patches of hair, then the hair regrows, and the condition never recurs. Other people continue to lose and regrow hair for many years. A few lose all the hair on their head; some lose all the hair on their head, face, and body.

How do algae grow?

M US: Frequently Asked Questions
The primary type of algae found on rooftops - Gloeocapsa magma - thrives in humid environments, often appearing first on the north slope of a roof where extra shade and moisture support its growth. Algae can derive mineral nutrients from fillers such as calcium carbonate in asphalt shingles. Increased use of moisture attracting calcium carbonate fillers cause asphalt shingles to retain moisture longer, thus promoting algae growth.

How fast do they grow?

The Great Morel - Frequently Asked Questions
Now The Great Morel can back this with more than a theory. A few years back, The Great morel spotted three small grey morels (the 3" variety) after repeatedly checking on a known patch. Thus placing small sticks beside them, and monitored them over a three-day period. The results at the end of the three-day period were as follows. One of three grew a total of one half inch. A second one grew just under a half inch and the last one showed growth that was almost immeasurable.

My Space is So Small ? I have to Put my Sprouter in a Bedroom. Can I Do that Without a Mess?

FAQs-2 - More Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
mentioned above, in my 12-ft x 6-ft space I could reach out and touch my Sprouter with my fingertips as I worked on my computer. It didn't disturb me when working or sleeping because my Sprouter's so quiet. It uses water pressure for misting, unlike all the other automatic sprouters which use electricity (so they have noisy motors). If you like to be 100% fail-safe, then it's easy to buy a leak detection system with automatic shut-off valve at the mains.
Related Questions

Can I keep the sprouter in a basement or garage?

Wheatgrass Information from Grow Wheatgrass
You can keep it anywhere that it has the right requirements; light at least 14 hours a day, either from grow lights or sunlight and a temperature of at least 65 degrees. If there is no heat in the basement or garage then the seed won't grow well as it gets colder. The seed has pretty much the same requirements for growth and comfort as a human. It would not be my preference to keep it in the basement.
Related Questions

What is automatic on the big sprouter?

Wheatgrass Information from Grow Wheatgrass
It is the watering that is automatic. The sprouts are kept at the right level of moisture. This is only necessary if you are sick or gone a lot. With the two smaller sprouters you water them with a pitcher or a sprayer once a day. Since I added perlite to the growing mix the automatic watering is not really necessary.

What Space Does the Sprouter Need?

FAQs - Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Ultimately, the Sprouter is any size you want it. Use a plastic storage box for the growing container ? you can get one at stores like Wal-Mart, Lowes, Home Depot and Home Base. A few of my readers across the world have built their own growing container. My Sprouter Plans show how to build a container of plexiglass or perspex, or to build a frame of PVC pipe or wood and cover it with plastic sheeting. This is useful if you live overseas and they don't have the big box you want.

There are many ways to lead water to your Sprouter ? my Plans give details on each, and we supply all parts under Sprouter Parts + Extras. Here's a few: High-pressure hose connected to a faucet which can have a Y-connector for both Sprouter and another device such as washing machine; High-pressure hose plugged directly into a cold water pipe using an ice-maker kit with a saddle valve; Pump sprayer, stand-alone 3-gallon ? works best with small Sprouter.

I am confused because my farmer feeds grains to chickens; is that okay?

Frequently Asked Questions
Cows and sheep are ruminants and should get mostly grass. But chickens and turkeys have to get grain or they won't grow right or lay enough eggs. We wish farmers wouldn't give soy because the isoflavones do end up in the egg yolks and the fat. Unfortunately, most farmers doing pasture feeding are giving soy to their chickens.

Are all grains good for healing?

Acupuncture.Com - FAQs About TCM Diet" - Traditional Chinese...
Yes. All of the grains can be used to make healing congees-Chinese therapeutic rice soups (see the full text of this book for recipes). However, some grains are not for everyone. For example, since most Westerners are already too damp and too mucous, I don't recommend oatmeal all that often because in San Francisco I often see people who suffer from Dampness. Oatmeal is beneficial, however, for Lung Yin Fluid Dryness or Yin Deficiency.

Are grains good for my pet?

Raw Meaty Bones
Large quantities of bread or potatoes, fed at one time tend to be indigestible and thus give rise to intestinal complications, including bloat. Most of the diseases of modern pets can, either wholly or in part, be attributed to a grain based diet. That's right. Onions are toxic for dogs, whether cooked or raw. A few onions in left over stew or pizza topping should not create a major problem, but in general it's best to avoid giving onions to your dog.
