I've been told that sprouts/fodder have a chance for ecoli because they have the perfect environment( moist and warm). Can anyone calm my fears? Is this like saying that you can get ecoli from raw milk? I have pigs, chickens and fodder in the same room, does that effect anything? If you search...

That is really helpful. I very much appreciate it.

Thank you so much. I'll give it a shot!

Can anyone post a link to the timer they are using? I'm in need of one that has a 3 pronged outlet that i can set to go off for 5 minutes every 4 hours. Also, i bought some organic barley seeds and have been sprouting them for a month now. They have been getting moldy at day 5 so i had to...

The barley had a noticable amount of corn, soy and leaves from trees. Do not buy crom countryside organics. I'm still gping forward and will let you know what happens

Just figured out how to do the quote thing. My latest response was for OkChickens. Dropped some barley in the sink and it started growing hah. I tried to pull it out but was only able to pull off the tops. Kind of a cool experiment to see how long they can grow.

Sounds like you have just about everything. You still need grow trays and a structure to put the grow trays on while the fodder is growing. You can get trays at walmart or the dollar store that aren't specifically for growing but will work just the same. You can also buy grow trays on Amazon...

[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG] I began reading this thread 3 weeks ago and just finished reading yesterday. I thought it was such a cool idea/ money saver that I started building after reading the first 5 pages. I used some extra railing from my parents house(my house as well,i'm 25) and scrap...
