Just started sprouting

This is the first sprouting tray I've tried, and I liked it. Draining makes things easy, except like other reviewers, I noticed it doesn't drain completely. I think it would be hard to design one that did, though. It would have to be kind of asymmetrical, I imagine. Come to think of it, I'm going to try putting the drains all on the same side, and tilting the trays in that direction (except the water-catching bottom!) I found with paying attention, the sprouts came out fine. I did have a problem with the smaller seed I tried, but I think that was my fault. The seed was supposed to only get sun on the last day, but I kept it with the other seeds I was sprouting. Even that sprouted eventually.

does the job but won't last long. mine started cracking after 2 months of use. Leaves bottom too wet for smaller seeds, they will tend to rot. my advice is to use canning jars with cheese cloth covers.

I purchased one of these sprouters to include in my provisions for a 4-month bicycle trip from Mexcio to Panama. At first I was a bit concerned about the ruggedness of what seemed like clear brittle plastic. All but one survived to the end, enduring all kinds of stresses. And it performed absolutely great! See the additional product pictures of mung bean sprouts.

Those who gave it lesser reviews either are not keeping it level, are watering too frequently, have it in a place that is too hot or cold, and/or have chaotic kitchen cleanup programs wherein they lose any of the the four identical "little parts". No doubt these people have other problems involving lost and misplaced items. For cleaning the drainage grooves, simply use a toothbrush and some organic citrus based dish soap.

When treating your sprouting operation with the reverence of a garden... which it truly is... it works wonderfully. I now own three sets and use them produce sprouts including: kamut, buckwheat, winter wheat, mung, radish, fenugreek, broccoli, pea, sunflower. My advice is to think about the seeds would like if you were planting them in the soil. Broccoli, radish, mustard and kale and even peas, for instance, like it a bit cool. Sunflowers and basil like it a bit warmer, but you do not want direct sunlight shining on your operation for long.

Do not use municipal water. Always use the purest water you can obtain, filtered in glass. Mineral water from a well free from agricultural and other run-offs is good too. Give the sprouts the best you can offer and they will return the favor.

Happy sprouting!

good

I think it works just great. I do wish the trays were taller, as it would be nice to give the sproutlings a bit more room. But they can still grow even once they hit the top, so not a big deal I guess.

Not bad

I was a bit disappointed to see that the sprouting trays have those same little plastic doohickeys that I lost one by one in my former 3-tray, then 2-tray, then 1-tray sprouter; in fact, that's the reason I ordered this one. I was hoping to avoid them this time around. I'll just have to be more vigilant with this one. Be that as it may, I'm reasonably satisfied. At first I thought that its small size was a drawback, but it keeps one from piling up too many sprouts at one time, and they're fresher if you're making smaller amounts more frequently.

I don't sprout a whole lot of different seeds and pulses: lentils (my favorite), mung beans, green peas, fenugreek (when I can get them) and alfalfa. Lentils haven't seemed to have a good sprouting percentage, but it's probably because I need to cut down on the amounts. I'll keep experimenting and once I get used to the smaller size, I'm sure I'll be willing to add another star. We shall see...
