Comments to Kathy from Lela about Wheatgrass

It isn’t hard at all. After you once get it going it just grows like crazy. Mom is growing some now too. I actually had so much in the frig I had to stop for a couple of days and Frank and I are trying to drink 2-4 oz a day each. and thats a lot of juice.

   Answering your questions, I ordered everything from wheatgrass.com. It was a kit complete with everything. We are growing ours indoors with ‘grow’ lights. I have followed the instructions perfectly and have not had any trouble so far. You just put the seeds on top of the soil like you were sprouting something. Get them really wet and put 4 layers of bounty paper towels on them. You water them everyday and the third day you take off the towels. Actually they are already pushing the towels up. I take them off the shelf every morning and water.

They grow so thick by the tenth day they will not dry out in the middle of the tray. You have to watch closely for mold. I guess that is a big problem sometimes. I think we could actually plant a little thinnner.

  I have a good book you can borrow if you want, and the kit comes with one also. I don’t know why they couldn’t be grown outside if the weather is good.

   But you can’t put them in the blender, or even in a regular juicer. It is a hand operated juicer like the old meat grinders. The grass is so delicate that the high speed blenders can’t squeeze the juice out, the grass just wraps around the blades. Next time you come over I will show you everything.

   I am very impressed with the results so far. I think wheatgrass should really be used on a regular basis for chronic diseases. For many very ill people this is their miracle medicine. But I thought i would take it to get this weight off of me and ‘cure’ my arthritis and the other disorders I have and then just take it a few times a year for cleansing and ‘tune up.’
