Plant High-Quality Wheatgrass as Easy as 1-2-3!

By Gisey James

You might have heard of the many health benefits of wheatgrass juice as it is slowly gaining popularity among the juice-drinkers. You also might have heard that you can grow your own wheatgrass from the comfort of your home. As we go on, we will help you know more about growing wheatgrass and how to take care of it so that you will also be able to enjoy its organic goodness without the disgusting molds.

Buying wheatgrass is not entirely easy if you're considering buying from ordinary stores. If you want to get high-quality wheatgrass, you should get it online or in specialist health food stores and they'll surely know what you'll need. Once you get your fresh bunch of wheatgrass seeds, now's the time for you to get some lessons on growing it.

The first step in growing wheatgrass is to immerse your seeds in water for not more than eight hours. After this, a 10x20 seed tray with an approximately 2-inch depth should be prepared. You can then start putting in the wet compost, peat moss, and an all-natural grower to improve the health of your developing grass.

After soaking the seeds, you have to drain them, rinse and then drain it again. When you spread the seeds all over the soil, make sure that the seeds are close, almost touching each other without overlapping. Do not heavily shower the peat moss to avoid aggravating your developing grass.

Lightly and sparsely water your soil bed to start the response between the moss and the seeds that are already beginning to grow, make sure you give the seeds equal sprinkles of water. Your growing seeds should not be too wet but make sure they are also not too dry. To make sure your grass is growing well, continue to check on these important aspects.

Next, the tray should be covered with another tray or if possible, a bubble wrap or a moist used newspaper to keep it protected from outer harmful particles. Shedding your tray seals the moisture necessary to grow your grass well and prevents it from completely drying up or from growing unnecessary molds. Normally, the grass are already inches in height after three days.

As your growing grass gets taller, it is time for you now to uncover it and let it receive massive amounts of indirect sunlight to speed up its growth. Indirect sunlight is preferred against direct sunlight because the latter dries the soil's moisture quickly, therefore stopping the growth. The sunlight will cause the sprouts to grow chlorophyll, making it look healthier and greener than the yellow, dull look when it first appeared.

It is recommended that you harvest the growing wheatgrass once it is around 7 inches in height because this is their so-called peak when it comes to nutritional content. When you harvest, trim just a centimeter or two from the surface of the soil with a simple knife or even scissors and rinse the crop very well before you start juicing it to ensure you of a happy, healthy wheatgrass experience. Once you've done these things, feel free to enjoy the refreshing and rejuvenating goodness a glass of wheatgrass juice gives. - 17274
