With this kit we are now giving you the choice of choosing to grow your wheatgrass in shallow self watering pots (165mm diam. x 90mm high, blue, yellow, white or black), or shallow rectangular trays (474mm OR 574mm) x 174mm x 30mm, col - terracotta.

Personally I find the shallow self watering pots more attractive and convenient (especially for watering), however some people prefer to use the trays as it gives them greater quantities, the 474mm tray is equivalent to about 3 pots, & the 574mm tray is equivalent to about 4 pots, the method used is slightly different, please refer to the Micro-Greens sprouting kit. The 12 trays give you 9 for growing and 3 for using as covers during the germination stage. Also note the 574mm tray will only fit our Stainless plant stand when placed across the shelf, as in the bottom picture, also it is a squeeze fit ie the stand is 520mm wide & the 3 trays side by side are 522mm, the trays are flexible so it can be done but unfortunately not a perfect fit. if you would like to use the stand this particular way, I would suggest using a sharp cutting blade to scrape out 2 grooves on either edge of the trays, this is because the trays rest up against 25 mm stainless steel rods on either side of the stand so it's relatively easy to gain the extra few millimetres required, just make sure when you are doing this you scrape the blade away from you not towards you (the picture shows using an older tray which was smaller & shallower, it also shows that insert of the scraping process)

So just select which type of container you would like and its colour.

With this kit you also have the choice of wheat seeds or barley seeds.

Both containers are especially friendly for growing indoors(less problem with pests, at your fingertips when needed), the customised shallow self watering pots designed specifically for vertical sprouting:- this is the simplest method each pot will give you 40+mls of wheatgrass juice which is equivalent to 2 shots at the juice bar and will cost you less then $0.50 including postage(i.e. $0.30 per shot). The system uses a highly absorbent loose coconut fibre that has been washed in freshwater i.e. no soil born bacteria, as a growing medium, resulting in very small amounts being used. It is lightweight, quick and easy to spread, planting out three pots takes approximately 12 minutes, and refills come in 24ltr or 50ltr.
If you have a backyard and compost or worm farm facilities then you can recycle the growing medium or just use soil from your garden to further reduce your costs. If you're growing outdoors you will need to construct netting, or use our Plastic net that attaches to any of our bracket systems, and our modular plant stand, to protect your wheat grass from birds, mice etc. Our system is tailored for the city dweller with minimum time and space but would still like the benefits of growing their own wheat grass.

Apart from all of the benefits of wheatgrass by itself see (Sprouting and Benefits of Wheatgrass Juice.pdf).

Growing Outdoors - if for some reason you do not want to grow your wheatgrass inside then you may wish to take a look at our modular plant stand, it also has the option of attaching netting, (see picture) you will find that if you try to grow wheat grass outside and unless you have a very vigilant cat to protect them, sooner or later some sort of wildlife e.g. rats, mice, possums, pigeons will get wind of what you are doing and come to join the feast. The stands, are also long enough to accept the 574mm trays. Plant-Stand-Modular

The Seaweed that we use (NASAA Lic. No. 3612M) is extracted at lower temperatures than other products, it also contains humic acid which is a mined substance, that is somewhere between peat and brown coal, containing a rich abundance of prehistoric minerals and trace elements, a BFA approved product. So not only are you getting all the nutrients that the wheat seed has been able to accumulate during its growth cycle, you are also getting a rich spread of micronutrients and trace elements from the sea and from prehistoric pristine vegetation.

We also include Dolomite(finely crushed limestone a mix of calcium and magnesium) placing 1/3 of a teaspoon in the reservoir of your self watering pots, will ensure that your wheatgrass and sprouts have a high level of Calcium and Magnesium as well as keeping the whole environment alkaline which greatly reduces the development of mould especially around the root base.

We also include Azomite a mineral and trace element supplement for plants and animals. It is not a typical rock dust. It is a very complicated product in the sense that it contains 67 + chemical elements, most in an oxide form along with trace and rare earth minerals. The product is a natural volcanic ash, albeit 30 million years old, it has been subjected to rigorous testing and has been approved for use in large-scale Organic Plant and Livestock production in the US. Adding this to our fertilizer soup, means that if the seeds didn't contain it, & the Seaweed/Humate didn't, then we certainly have it covered now.

We also include Magnesium Chloride The importance of this element in the health of the body cannot be overstated. The highest quality Magnesium available, this ancient mineral is extracted from the lower layers of the Zechstein prehistoric sea(250 million years old), we mix this in with the liquid seaweed. It can also be used as a salt substitute i.e. mix with water & spray on your food or trans-dermal i.e. rub on your skin or use in a foot bath. Magnesium is the central atom in the Chlorophyll molecule, which has almost the same structure as Haemoglobin i.e. the red blood cell, another reason why greens are a must.

We supply 8ltrs of premium grade fine washed loose coconut fibre, this mix is designed for growing seedlings which means it is fine textured without any lumps which makes it very easy to spread.

With this kit you get:- 2kg of biodynamic/organic Wheat or 1kg of biodynamic/organic Barley seeds, 8ltrs CocoFibre, 1ltr of liquid seaweed concentrate, a 1ltr plastic sauce bottle(to make it easy to pour your liquid seaweed), 450g Dolomite, 450g Azomite, 140gmMgCh, a sticky insect trap and detailed instructions, 9 (blue,yellow,white or black) shallow self watering pots with detachable saucers OR 12 shallow rectangular trays.

If you are going to grow these inside next to a sunny window then have a look at the stainless steel stand, see below, which has been specially designed with staggered shelf heights to make the most use of this valuable space.

If you are a growing outside you will still get great results it's just that in the cooler months it will take a longer. Our modular aluminium plant stand with stainless steel slats using 40cm gaps between each shelf, gives you a very good option for doing this outside, it will shortly have options for keeping possums and other hungry creatures away.

We have also given you the option of either choosing Wheat seed or Barley seed, some people have a wheat intolerance, 98% of this intolerance is due to gluten and has nothing to do with the juice from the wheat shoot, but sometimes people just prefer the Barley the main differences is that Barley is more expensive, it has a more bitter taste and is slower growing, nutritionally they are almost identical.

Can't ship seeds or potting mix to WA please purchase items separately.
