Okay, so here is what I am using for my sprouting operation. The wooden stand is what I use at rabbit shows to hold my carry cages. If it works as well as I think it will I am going to spray it with that Never Wet stuff we have at work.
I am using dish pans I bought at the dollar store and stabbed with an ice pick. They set on the stand perfectly and I am putting a row on the stand and a row underneath. The trays are staged in the laundry room and there is a floor drain that leads outside to our trees.
Right now I am sprouting buckwheat, mung, teff, and corn. For the teff, because the individual grains are so small, I am using these plant trays from work and lining them with coffee filters. The teff needs the most tending as it is the finest seed.
I water morning and evening and set three trays a day on what is currently a 7 day rotation so have 21 trays at some stage all the time. My critter sitter got confused and fed all of my trays in one day so I currently starting over. I will be introducing alfalfa, chicory, trefoil, and clover after my next paycheck. I am buying from Peaceful Valley Farm Supply as all of their stuff is non-GMO and they are close enough that orders arrive the next day.
I am also going to make a bunch of sprouting bags to fit into the project some place.
