This is one of the things I was looking at IM...a bundle that includes a sprouter, a mix of seeds and broccoli seeds. Does this look like it's worth the investment and a good way to try it out?

Debated just going with jars & drainage lids but then thought it might be a good idea to try different types of sprouts to see which ones we like best.

What do you think of this?

I was actually looking at replacing my sprouter with that one at one point. The only thing I don't care for is that after you water the seeds, you need to get as much excess moisture out as possible to prevent mold.

I bought the kit linked below. After I water the sprouts I put the inner jar in a mesh bag and spin it like a centrifuge to get the excess water out. I've never had moldy sprouts. I couldn't see that working in those little cannisters very well so I still have the trusty easy sprouter.

ETA I buy some of my seeds there but I also like https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/ for seeds and other things.

Thanks so much for the link IM! Looks like I have plenty more reading to do now That looks like an easy (and not so expensive) way to start.

My pleasure That first link has a ton of helpful information about sprouting. I go there just to learn new things sometimes.

I've been wondering about Blooie too. The last I remember hearing from her was same as Bruce, when she got the new chicks and the girls were going to meet them. Don't remember any long trip she talked about. Hope all is ok.

Maybe you better drive up there and do a welfare check

if only it had been just a nasty cold but it was the flu, fever, aches, headed clogged up and just wishing to die

Well we are glad you didn't but I'm sure many of us have "been there".
