How to Grow WHEATGRASS No soil EASY

[@crunchywellness6080]

I never realized how easy it us to grow wheat grass. I am going to start mine today! !

[@sarah29880]

So easy and to the point. Can’t wait to try!

[@lucillefemine]

Nice and simple. Another video said to cover them in the tray for days but I see you don't have to. Thanks.

[@natureboy6410]

This was the system I had seen a while back used for all microgreens. Thanks Brad. ;-)

[@sailingsolar]

It was a pleasure to watch your video, Sir.

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

+sailingsolar Thank you solar, I greatly appreciate it.

[@Roots-Of-Knowledge]

advice for you is to start with the newer flat on the top first. then let the water drip in to the older ones. this way the seeds that are more mold hazard stage will have less water. this way you can also dark them out of sun in their first few days and even press them with a heavy flat on top to make the starting sprout stage yield stronger shoots

[@chantellstoop7964]

Hi Big Family Homestead. Try drilling more holes and making your trays flat on the rack. You have a more even wetting of the seed and the same drainage, and much better growth. Put baking soda in your presoak water to prevent mould.

[@minttjulep]

How much baking soda?

[@marygitau7308]

this is wonderful, in Kenya Africa I appreciate this information. thank you very much

[@FunnyFarmHomestead]

Great idea THANK YOU!! I raise rabbits in a colony and they will LOVE this!! Thank You!!

Thank you very much, I've been adopting this method for my cat's favorite treat ever since I saw your video

[@TheBerkeleyBeauty]

I like the zigzag solution. I'm gonna try this method. Hopefully it will help with my mold problem. Thanx for the vid. Very informative. God Bless

[@TinaShay]

Hey! I have that shelf system already...not the grass though. Thanks for showing me how to do this. I do my alfalfa sprouts in the jar the same way you have shown in the beginning. The audio in this video is amazing. Maybe it has always been this good and I just didn't pay attention before, but I really did notice tonight.

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

+Tina Shay Cool, thanks!

Big Family Homestead so I have about 200 acres planted with wheat...my fields are covered with stuff that looks just like this...is it the same? (Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am a beginner health food nut :)

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

Thanks! Pass it on... Brad

[@cottondai]

Great system I want to grow it continuously.Will look into your system.

[@frostfallanimations7891]

You should try using cloth instead of a tray. Then you just have to set up a misting system that activates every few hours spraying water above and below the seeds. You will also get longer taller grass if you leave it out of light for about two days. Then you put it in the sun and it will grow green. Not sure how that effects the nutrition values though.

[@maryb6872]

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing, Brad.

[@Oliver2011Jake]

Really, I would never thougt about getting it there, thanks. I will be checking.

[@sandyweaver6686]

Thank you Brad great video and great idea for soil-less growing.

[@jesuschristismylordandsavi6108]

On my system, I also go dirtless. I use the seed flats you find at walmart or almost all gardening stores. I drill about 10 holes on one end of the flats. I run my water system from a 5 gal bucket. It runs for 2 min every 4 hours. I presoak my seed at least 1 hour then whenever I put it on a tray. 7 days, mine is done. Just letting you know it is not hard. P.S. I tried letting the seed soak for 12-24 hours but found that at 7 days I could tell no difference in that which soaked for 1 hour.

[@CANDYZANE69]

so walmart sells soil trays?

[@jesuschristismylordandsavi6108]

@@CANDYZANE69 They used to but who knows any more. The ones they did sell were so cheap that they would not last long. I order all my supplies on the internet now.

[@MarieLynnRichard]

I have the same units to grow micro-greens but have yet to find good trays to buy. I use the flimsy store croissant containers and it's amazing how well it works. I'd just like to have something more sturdy. My mealworms and beetles love roots. It's amazing how I can get a circle of life going on in this basement apartment LOL

[@judyg9889]

My two cats LOVE wheat grass. They are not allowed onto the lawn because of fire ants and sand-fleas in the grass. A large pot of wheat grass on the upstairs patio is what they consider as their salad bowl. My Indoor cats adore munching on wheat grass!

put some baking soda into you water against mold and smooth water wich plants love. then look for livermoss wich is used on horses against mold. both is good for your body too, take a bath with baking soda and feel how smooth your muskels going to be. thanks for your video, very nice system you have made.

[@tropicvibe]

Hi and thank you for such an informative video. Lately been interested in growing my own and will try without soil. I may have previously misunderstood though when I first started reading about wheatgrass. Was under the impression that I'd have to throw away the soil after each harvest. Would you please tell me if that's true?

[@annayunus4260]

awesome a short tutorial.. can it be applied in a tropical country?

[@bringithard6721]

Love the vid! just a thought, check the PH of the water I have a feeling that running it over and over may result in pretty acidic water however there is no soil so cant be sure. also checking the ppm of the water would be interesting to see what it would increase to. Knowing both could help tell you when to change your water. Lastly you should add a link in the video or the description below of where you show the construction. Could lead to more views, I'm off to find it now.

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

+BringItHard Thanks for the ideas- We personally use the grass for our animals and change the water about every 4-5 days, so the PH was not a concern for us- If you (humans) were consuming it, I might give it the ole' raised eyebrow...

Hi Brad, this is the first time on your Homestead site. I love it. I am not a homesteader, but all this education, may lead me to a new opportunity. Do you have the name of a company to purchase non molding grains.

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

Thanks! There is no such thing... It's all about regulating the moisture to make sure it does not stay to wet too long...

[@detaildz]

Hi, Really enjoy your videos. I have a question, I would like to start juicing wheatgrass as you know what grass is an acquired taste! Somewhere I read you can add a little fresh lemon juice to it before you drink it to make it more palatable. Do you know if this is correct? I not sure if it would interfere with the mechanism of action of the wheatgrass and take away some of the benefits i.e. nutrients? Thanks Again, Bob

[@lightingstruck6893]

Great video... i want to try doing that in my home. Do you have a video showing the height of the wheat grass when you harvest - be great if we can get to see what is being harvest and what is not. And those that are harvest, how you use them. Show us how you make use of the wheat grass. May i also ask, when growing the wheat grass, will there be insects or other stuff growing or found in the wheat grass at all - or with soil-less, we can be free of insects, etc. Once again, thank so very much for this video. Its of great learning value. I appreciate!

The water get's changed when it gets nasty- Summer, every week, winter inside, about a week and a half.

CCMPULM We decided to go the cheaper route and forget all that. No timer at all. We got a pump from our local farm store and hooked it up with a regular drip irrigation hose from Harbor Freight and we simply plug it in for 30 minutes two times a day.

[@davidnewton3064]

You change the water about once per week eh. I have something similar to your setup and my water also gets nasty after several days. Yellowish and translucent, slightly slimy, and smells terrible. What do you attribute this to? I've seen people mention fermentation when they talk about soaking wheat berries. Is this what causes the change in the reservoir? Also, did you ever settle on the correct number of soak cycles per day?

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

David, This system and video are now over two years old, so we have improved on it. The water yellowing is something you just need to deal with. We change it every 4-5 days when it starts to smell. The watering gets done two times a day for about 30-45 mins per cycle. I have seen other systems that are outside, and the operators have an abundance of water so they don't try to recycle it at all. They simply put much more the water in the top and when it gets to the bottom, it drains out into a bucket that they use for other purposes- It does not go back to the top. Those work pretty well, but I need my system inside because of the weather.
