I had trouble with mold, but things are clearing up nicely. I was using foil trays, but any bends would trap water. So I have plastic bins with LOTS of tiny holes for drainage. I also prefer to do wheat and barley in seperate bins. I found when one molded, the other didn't.it was usually the...

So my seed had weevils too. This was before fodder. FOOD GRADE DE got rid of them all. I would think that it wouldn't interfere with sprouting, but haven't used it in sprouting seed. The birds can eat it. I had weevils and red ants, sprinkled DE, and they were gone. My seed is into garage 90+...

Can I sprout in foil containers? I have the small and big ones from Costco. I can sprout in the small with drainage holes and place in the big to catch any extra water. Should be fine but I know metal reacts to some components and haven't seen it used before for seeds
