I would say, most definitely, we feed our chickens fermented grains, fodder, scratch, table scraps, their predators (sometimes), dry bag feed, egg shell etc. They love a well rounded diet. We are working on raising crickets and are also working on the solar lights over a bun pan filled with...

You are correct to be careful with soy. But as stated once germinated it's a different animal but I don't plan on feeding many soy sprouts to our birds. We ferment our soy meal with cracked corn, oats and wheat. Fermenting also changes the soy into a nutritional feed without the anti-nutritional...

Been planting organic non GMO Soybeans and lentils and other grains and pseudo grains to make fodder with. First time we've done anything like this, always planted veggies though. This autumn we plan to plant wheat, barley, rye and spelt. All organic non GMO of course, already have the seed...

We are not using a medium at all to grow this kind of fodder. Seed depth isn't the issue here, thickness is. They spread the seed out on a tray 3/4 of an inch or so, some way less. Zero medium = no dirt, paper towel, hydro rocks or anything. Just a plain layer of soaked and pre-germinated...

Hows does depth apply when there is no soil or medium involved? This is more of a thickness issue.

Thanks for the link. I was looking for that exact information. Starting to think we can grow our own organic fodder seed. Have been looking into traditional ground planted fodder, Wikipedia has a little fodder information too. We're going to grow all kinds of stuff we've never grown. I ordered...

Looking real good RainyPeeps, sure didn't take you very long to get set up. Just got my new grow tent yesterday and can't wait to start setting it up.

You can find organic GMO's in bulk and organic heirlooms in small amounts. I have been researching and if you want to grow heirloom or ancient wheat, barley, rye etc. you will have to buy a small amount of seed and grow it out yourself. This will take a couple years of growing and seed...

Could be an alternative for doing fodder during the warmer months. Does rice grow fast enough to harvest in 7 days?

Wow, had to scrub the garden? That's terrible, glad we live in a right to farm state.

This is one of those things I read about and know I have to do. It has to be better than feeding nothing but bag feed all winter. Bag feed that we all know is full of GMO grains etc. That got me to thinking that I needed to find a source of good organic grown non GMO heirloom grain. Researching...

Seed is full of energy and usually don't use many nutrients from the soil during it's first week of growth. To me adding a hydroponic nutrient solution would defeating the purpose of raising my own food. The 7 day old plant has twice the protein as the grain and lots more nutrients can be...

We will probably use different kinds of light and change with the seasons. The colder it gets the hotter burning lights we will use.

No problem pawtraitart. They have different sizes too and these are the best prices i've found: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=GROW+TENT&x=0&y=0

Hi melwynnd. These grow tents are set up for air circulation. They have holes in them to set up powerful inline fans that can remove air from the tent and replace with fresh air within seconds. They are designed to grow in so I'm thinking if i allow enough air space around the grass and seed and...

I've been checking out this thread and doing some research about fodder feed set ups. I really think a hydroponic grow tent would be a great thing to use for growing fodder in. They have a nice bottom to help prevent leakage and other water damage from misting etc.. I could put one in my garage...

Wow, 40 dollars a ton! That's some inexpensive feed right there.
