Can anyone give me an idea why this might happen. Chickens and ducks is same housing area. Don't know if she kicked it out or one of the other ducks or chickens did.
I use plastic pails that I get from the bakery to soak the seed in for 24 hours. I use a colander with small holes in it and rinse the seed several times before I put them into the pail with water and bleach.. Then I fill the pail 3/4 full of water and a 1/4 cup of bleach. I add the seed and...
Thanks for the info. The root mat is 2 inches thick and barley grass is 5 inches high. I started my 4 batch on Tuesday and its looking good. My first batch pushed out the sides. So the next batches I measured a little less than a 1/2 in just wanted to see what would happen. But all is well...
Wow I paid 40 cents a lb. for barley and thought I got a deal. When you break it down after the barley has sprouted and is up 5 inches and the flat weighs 10 /12 pounds . 40 cents a pound doesn't seem like a lot. I went to tractor supply Monday and bought some chick feed for $15.00 for 50...
My system in not fancy at all. Plastci buckets to soak in for 24 hours. Then drained and rinsed until clean. Placed in 3 grow trays with small holes or cuts in the bottom. I set them on cooling racks in a larger top that came with the grow trays. That way the water is not on your floor. I...
Have never tried alfalfa sprouts before. My barley seeds are really a big hit the the girls and the rooster. The ducks aren't really impressed, oh well. The shoots on the barley right now are about 4 inches high. The chickens start talking when I walk up to their coop. I throw it down and...
I just started last Friday bought 100 of barley seed. Thought I would try that first. Next time I will add some oats seed to it. I got the barley at a small feed store. Anyway soaked, rinsed, rinsed. Then put it in grow pans that I had punched holes in. I put a pan under it to catch the...
Skip, just wondering how deep did you plant the wheat seed. I am using barley and I put in a 1/2 inch, I have some sunflower seeds I will give those a try too.
Mine are doing fine as well. I soaked in water for 24 hrs. I had some growing trays, so I punched some holes in them. Drained and rinsed my seed. Spread them out and rinsed them twice a day. I have them one the floor by our table, right by a sliding door. Its about 68 in our house and I...
I saw a growing system out of dollar store small tubs. Forgot to pin it and have been seaching for days to find another simple one. Thanks so much, I have ordered 100's of barley seed and we have several tons of oats for our horses. This will give me enough to feed our nine girls and 9 ducks...
