Sprouting since the 70's

Review by J. Taylor, 2010-09-03

Ran a Vegetarian Restaurant in the 70's. We'd re-purposed a fiberglass shower, added shelving with screens, and a timer for rinsing throughout the day. Previous to that, I'd done Sustainable farming; mason jar - punch holes in top - rinse seeds and drain twice a day. Decided on this "Newfangled" version but have been disappointed. Though following directions, it often does not want to drain between levels. Flimsy plastic cover cracked with little use but turns out it's a standard large coffee can top - easy to replace. Not bad for novices if you can get it to consistently siphon for you. Otherwise, just do a large glass jar (commercial spaghetti would work fine) with some holes punched in the top (lay on side throughout the process)!!

I never realized this would be so easy

Review by Linda E. Moore, 2010-08-28

I just harvested my first crop and can't wait to get started on the next one. (For my first crop, I only did one tray, just to see how successful I'd be.) The only caveat: after the seeds have sprouted, the seed coverings might accumulate under the little flower-shaped caps that wick the water and restrict the water flow. Lift the caps up slightly and clear the area under them out with a toothpick to be sure the water flows freely.

Now that I've seen how easy this is to do, I'm going to order the big seed sampler I've had my eye on.

Works Great

Review by Caren Nelson, 2010-08-23

Having read the other reviews about the product not draining well and problems with mold etc. I was skeptical. However, I find if you do NOT place the covers tightly on the drain holes, line up the drains when stacking the pieces and place something under the side of the sprouter on the opposite side of the drains (tipping the whole container slightly), it drains well and works beautifully. A little trouble, but I want to grow a good variety at once in small batches without it taking up a lot of room. The trade off is worth it.

PS you do have to be sure that the sprouts do not block the drain by growing under the drain cover

Nice counter top sprouter

Review by yatesmachine, 2010-08-06

I purchased this at the suggestion of my aunt. It works pretty well most of the time. I've had issues where the siphons don't work quite right and need to be helped along. Also, I had to use a toothpick a few times to dislodge alfalfa sprouts from the hole the siphon sits on but that problem seems to have stopped. Does a great job even when I forget to water it twice a day as instructed.

don't wait get one

Review by David Michel, 2010-07-30

Off and on I've sprouted for years.

It works great, put in a tablespoon of spouts in a section, pour water in the top until about half full, it drains down. Each section has ridges to keep some moisture there but not enough to lead to rot. Water it twice a day.

Keep it clean, use fresh water each time, and check it about 15 minutes after putting in the water to make sure the water has drained down. A couple of times the water got stuck and tapping my finger under the hole got it flowing.

Typically the seeds start sprouting within a day, and by day two or three are ready. The instructions say to put in one tablespoon of seeds and that is the right amount. It seems like such a small amount but more really is too much.

Chances are your local co-op food store will be a good source for seed.
