GREEN HARVEST SPROUTING,
WHEATGRASS AND
MICROGREEN GUIDE
Would you like fast, nutritious,
fresh food from your kitchen bench?
Reduce your food miles to food metres
with a garden that isnt at the mercy of
pests or the elements and doesnt need
much space.
We are constantly told that fresh
is best but as gardeners know,
homegrown is better. Thats especially
true when it comes to those essential
nutrients provided by green vegetables
that our bodies need replenished every
day. Sprouting and growing microgreens
are easy ways to add these essential
vitamins and enzymes to your diet.
Alfalfa sprouts
Sprouting is 'bench top organic
vegetable gardening'. Sprouts are not
only a great addition to salads and
sandwiches, they are incredibly nutritious
added to fresh juices and smoothies.
Amaranth microgreens
Microgreens are an exciting, colourful,
gourmet alternative to sprouts. They are halfway in size between sprouts
and salad mix. Usually grown in trays, they differ from sprouts as they are
grown in sunlight and harvested when there are baby leaves.
Advantages to growing your own include:
It is simple and quick; only very basic equipment is needed
There is a wide choice of taste sensations, colours and textures
Commercially-grown sprouts and microgreens do not always use
organic seed, so growing your own gives you that chance to increase
your organic consumption
Very little space is needed in the kitchen. You can grow some of your
food without actually needing a garden
It is very economical; sprouts and microgreen seeds can multiply by up
to 15 times their weight

HOW TO GROW SPROUTS
Sprouts can be grown most of the year but keep in mind that the same
rules apply as for successful seed germination in the garden. Just like all
other seed, sprouting seed has a temperature range that is best for
germination. Avoid very hot or cold periods; temperatures between 20C
25C work best. In winter a heated propagator tray can be helpful.
Wash the seeds well in fresh water before soaking. Float off any leaf or
twig debris. Broccoli, other brassica and onion seeds need to be
encouraged to sink.
Soak the seeds for the correct time; do not over or under soak. Oversoaking can kill your sprouts. If the seeds and water they are soaking in
go murky and scum forms on the surface, the seeds have soaked too long
and are probably dead. Good aeration with a plentiful supply of oxygen
gives life to the seed, so avoid soaking too much seed at a time and then
overcrowding it in the sprouter.
Never put the sprouting jar or bag flat to a
surface where air cannot reach the seeds; all
living things need to breathe. Poor drainage will
cause the seed to rot.
Try to rinse at least 3 times a day. During hotter
weather, rinse more often. Thorough rinsing is
important as the water provides the moisture
needed to activate growth, it also flushes away
waste products and re-oxygenates the seed, but
Fenugreek sprouts
be gentle.
Page 6
HOW TO GROW SPROUTS cont.
If you cant be at home on hot days, refrigerate the
sprouts until you get back. Failing to rinse will
cause the seeds to shrivel and die, as will hot,
direct sunlight. If seeds start to dry out, soak
briefly and then drain well.
Only start sprouts if you are available to look after
them for the next 3 - 5 days.
Lentil sprouts
To produce green, leafy sprouts, daylight is
important but always avoid direct sunlight. A
kitchen bench near a window with access to the
sink is ideal.
De-hulling refers to removing the seed hulls. This
is important particularly for Brassica sprouts
(cabbage, broccoli, radish, mustard etc.) as the
hulls are quite large and hold a lot of water and
removing them greatly improves the storage life.
Mung Bean
To de-hull place the sprouts in a big bowl. Fill with
sprouts
cold water; loosen the sprouts by pulling apart with
your fingers or a fork. Hulls will rise to the surface.
Skim the hulls off the surface of the water. Drain the sprouts well, a salad
spinner helps.
Once the sprouts are ready, store them in the fridge. They store best
when well drained, even dry to touch, in a container that breathes. They
will go slimy pretty quickly in a plastic bag. Rinsing every few days and
draining well will prolong their storage life.
Any seed or sprouts that are even slightly mouldy should be discarded.
SPROUT TROUBLESHOOTING
Sprouts are easy to grow but if you are having problems
it might be because of:
Overcrowding: Too much seed in your sprouter means
that some seeds suffocate. This can cause sliminess,
ungerminated seeds and an off smell. Start off with
less seed and check the sprouters capacity when
sprouts are ready.
Oversoaking: Too long a soaking time can kill seed; it
simply drowns.
Not enough rinsing: Sprouts need to be well-rinsed to

prevent them drying out and to re-oxegenate them.

CONTAINERS FOR SPROUTING
Jars Sprouters
To make your own jar sprouter, choose a large glass jar
with a wide, straight neck. Flywire or cheesecloth and a
rubber band provide the lid. The covering needs to allow
sufficient drainage and aeration, or mouldy sprouts will
result. The Green Harvest Jar Sprouter works well as it
comes with a built-in drainage stand. It is particularly
important not to overcrowd the seeds in jar sprouters.
Dome Sprouters
The Green Harvest multi-level Dome Sprouter suits a
wide range of seeds and makes it easy to produce a
continuous supply of sprouts, as you can add additional
levels every few days.
Sprouting Bags
The Green Harvest Hemp Sprout Bag is durable,
naturally mould-resistant and will last for years. It is
best for growing hulled grains and beans such as
mung, lentils, peas, chickpeas, adzuki, soft wheat
sprouts, rye, or barley. The bags hang
up to save on bench space.
Automatic Sprouter
A super productive indoor farm. It
enables even the busiest people with
no garden space to grow a wide
diversity of nutrient-packed greens
year round. Choose to grow without
soil for sprouting, or with soil for
microgreens (sunflower and buckwheat) and grasses (wheat, barley and
oats). Set the timer to control the
amount of water delivered as a mist
across the 5 seed trays. As the
weather warms up, add an extra
watering cycle so that in the hotter
months, the machine automatically
waters 6 or more times per day and
you harvest fresh greens daily. This is
simply not achievable in the garden or
with other sprouting methods.

HOW TO GROW
MICROGREENS
Microgreens differ from sprouts in that they
are grown in sunlight. You can grow them
indoors on a sunny window shelf or
outdoors on a covered deck or in a
shadehouse.
It is best to use a flat tray with good
drainage. Containers can be recycled but
should be well washed. For your soil mix
choose between organic potting mix (look
for an organic certification number on the
bag), cocopeat, vermiculite or seed raising
mix.
To begin, fill the tray with your selected soil
mix 2 - 3 cm deep and moisten the mix.
Soak the seed, if required, then sprinkle
the seeds evenly on top of the mix and
gently pat them down. If recommended on
the seed packet, cover with more soil mix.
Many seeds only need to be covered with
paper towel. Or you can cover with another
inverted tray to help keep the seeds moist
until they sprout.
Water often using a fine spray. Adding
diluted organic nutrients e.g. seaweed, to
the sprayer will improve the nutrient levels
in the microgreens.
How to Harvest Microgreens
Wait until the 2nd set of leaves appear. Cut
just above ground level with scissors.
Some types will regrow and can be cut
several times. When a tray is finished, you
can invert the soil mix, top it up with a bit of
fresh soil mix and replant; add it to the
compost; or offer it to the chooks.

Page 11
MICROGREEN TROUBLESHOOTING
Problems can arise from a few factors:
Overcrowding: Too much seed will cause damping off, a fungal disease
where the young plants collapse. It will also result in long, spindly stems.
Oversoaking: If the seeds and water they are soaking in go murky and scum
forms on the surface, the seeds have soaked too long and are probably
dead.
Wrong sowing time: It may be the wrong time of year for the seeds you are
trying to grow. Some seeds will not germinate at very high or very low
temperatures. Check the growing instructions on the seed packet.
Weak, skinny microgreens: The plants may need more sunlight or feeding.
Move to a position in stronger light or try spraying with a dilute solution of
Natrakelp or Seaweed Plant Starter.
CONTAINERS FOR MICROGREENS
Trays should be flat with drainage holes allowing leafy microgreens to grow
straight up and receive maximum light. Choose either a Green Harvest
Seedling-Sprouting Tray or a Microgreen Tray. These are ideal for raising
barley, oat and wheatgrass for healthy juice shots. Drip Trays are useful to
go under the trays on the kitchen benchtop to prevent spills.

HOW TO GROW WHEATGRASS
Wheatgrass and other grasses such as barley
and oats are believed to have superior, health
giving qualities and contain beneficial
enzymes and antioxidants. If you like the idea
of adding this green juice to your diet, it is a
simple matter to raise the grass yourself using
organic seed.
Where To Grow:
Start the process inside, on the kitchen bench
or in the laundry. Transfer to a sunny
position once the grass is growing
and is 2.5 - 5 cm high. As a general
rule the best temperature range for
growing is 20 25C.
How To Grow:
The growing medium needs to be
light and airy. Good choices are
organic potting mix, cocopeat or
worm castings. Use a seedling tray
(35 x 29 cm) or a microgreen tray
Wheatgrass ready to cut
(33.5 x 14 cm). Between uses
sterilise by washing in hot water. Fill
the tray with 2 - 3 cm of soil mix and
water thoroughly. Use your fingers
and check the soil is wet all the way
through.
Soaking and Pre-Sprouting:
Wash and soak the seeds for the
correct time; do not over or under
soak. If the seeds and water they
are soaking in go murky and scum
forms on the surface, the seeds have soaked too long and are probably
dead. Pre-sprouting the grain in a sprouter gives more reliable results. After
soaking place seed in a sprouter until tiny roots appear. Rinse at least twice a
day. This will take about 2 days. The Sprout Bag is perfect for this.
Growing Method:
Lay the pre-sprouted seeds as evenly as possible on top of the soil mix; pat
down and water well. Cover by inverting another tray on top. Set the tray in a
low-light, room temperature location. Check daily, water if needed. In warmer

vegetable which contains no gluten.
Page 15
weather you might need to water twice a day. The Bottle Top Waterer is
perfect for this. Once the seedlings are growing, remove the cover when
growth is 5cm tall and move into direct sunlight.
How To Harvest:
Harvest in 6 - 10 days or when 15 - 25cm tall,
by cutting the grass at 2 - 3 cm above the soil
and leaving the roots in the tray. Peak nutrition
is reached by harvesting just prior to the
jointing stage which is when the plant switches
from vegetative growth to reproductive growth,
as the blade develops a second stem.
Harvested wheatgrass can be stored for about a
week but peak nutritional benefits are obtained
from freshly cut grass. Trays will usually
produce a 2nd and even 3rd crop - as long as

A special type of juicer is required to crush the
blades of grass which are too chewy for most
people. The green juice mixes well with celery, parsley, alfalfa sprouts,

OTHER IDEAS FOR USING SPROUTS AND MICROGREENS
Living Bread
Often referred to as Essene bread, this sweet,
highly nutritious, energy dense food is made with
sprouted grain e.g. wheat, spelt, rye, barley. It is
blended to a puree, mixed with dried fruit, herbs,
spices and seeds then dehydrated. If nuts and
seeds are used these should be soaked for at
least 8 hours, drained and blended with the
grain. Ingredients such as grated carrots or dried
fruit should be soaked overnight, drained, mixed
well with the homogenised grain, formed into a
flattened loaf and baked in a slow oven for 2
hours. For crackers, roll out thinly and dry in an
Sprouted Wheat Bread
electric food dehydrator, at 40 - 45C. This
ensures that enzymes and minerals are not destroyed by heat.
Caged Birds and Poultry
Living growing foods like sprouts are excellent for most birds, including
poultry. Even just swelling the seeds so they are
beginning to show roots increases the nutritional
values considerably.
To prepare: soak seed for 8 - 12 hours in 3
times the amount of water, drain and rinse 3
times the next day, drain for 8 - 12 hours and
feed to birds.
Suitable seeds include: adzuki beans, mung
beans, millet, buckwheat (in hull), green peas,
lentils, chickpeas, fenugreek, alfalfa, red clover,
mustard, radish, quinoa, amaranth and chia.
Green Harvest Clucker Tucker is a hardy mix
of all-important greens to keep your chooks healthy. Includes barrel medic,
bok choy, buckwheat, forage chicory, clover, cocksfoot, linseed, lucerne,
millet, forage plantain, silverbeet, subclover and sunflower. Where space is
limited, it can be grown in a seedling tray and then placed in the chook run or
bird cage. In temperate areas sow March - May or August - October. In
subtropical areas sow August - September or May - July. In tropical areas
sow April - August. Use 1 - 2g per seedling tray.
