I had calamitous mold growth growing on screen, and it was nearly impossible to separate it from the fodder roots. I have to basically shave it off with a sharp knife. Too time consuming. Hope someone else has better success.

I tried bleach, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide (not mixed together, of course!). I tried soaking longer, soaking shorter, not soaking at all. I tried changing rooms I grew the fodder in. One bag of seeds seemed to give me much more trouble than the first couple small bags I bought, but they...

I finally gave up on my fodder project. I couldn't get the mold under control and the amount of time I was spending on it made it not worthwhile.

For anyone struggling with mold, I have found spraying with hydrogen peroxide and then rinsing with water after about 2 minutes is very effective.

I try to get my birds out for at least 3 hours a day of foraging, but they still go crazy over the fodder. They have high quality crumbled feed that I grind myself, a puree made from either pumpkin and corn with eggs or lentils and spinach with eggs, plain yogurt a couple times a day, and they...

I can say with certainty that fodder is the first food little birds will try and love. I make a soft food with either pumpkin or lentils and spinach and eggs and the little guys still won't even try it. They will eat yogurt and fodder like there's no tomorrow though.

I think if you're trying to grow fodder, rather than just sprouting the seeds, you something with a more tray-like shape. Over a pound of wheat in the bottom of a 5 gal bucket sounds like way too much. When I seed my trays I really just shotot for a layer thick enough I can't see the bottom.

Just set up a fodder system big enough to supplement my horses' diet! I lined the trays with paper towel to hold the seeds in place until they start to mat. I am going to mist them to avoid ruining the floor underneath. I've been misting my chicken fodder trays and it seems much more...

My chicks are just 3 weeks old tomorrow and they absolutely love this stuff. They have been eating it since before they turned 2 weeks old. I make sure to dice it very small (1/4 inch pieces) and throw out the more fibrous roots. They go for it before anything else. I have a fleet of tractors...

I use it in a spray bottle straight from the store.

For those with mold issues, I 've found medical grade hydrogen peroxide (3% USP) sprayed directly on the problem area inhibits mold growth. My water is untreated well water and is very 'alive' and I wondered if mold would be a concern for me, but so far so good with a couple of sprays of HP on...
